The function that computes the final amount a customer pays is **`order_total`** in **`shop/orders.py`**.

Its call chain:

1. **`subtotal(order)`** — `shop/orders.py` — sums `line.subtotal` across `order.lines` (each `OrderLine.subtotal` is a `@property` in `shop/models.py` computing `unit_price * quantity`).
2. **`order.item_count()`** — `shop/models.py` (`Order` class) — sums line quantities, used for the discount decision.
3. **`pricing.apply_discount(subtotal, quantity)`** — `shop/pricing.py` — applies a 10% bulk discount only when quantity `> BULK_THRESHOLD` (10), otherwise returns the subtotal unchanged.
4. **`pricing.compute_tax(discounted, order.country)`** — `shop/pricing.py` — applies VAT for the destination country (default GR = 24%), in cents-accurate units.
5. **`shipping_cost(order)`** — `shop/orders.py` — returns `0.0` if subtotal is below 50.0, else `4.90`; it calls **`subtotal(order)`** again internally.
6. Builtin **`round(..., 2)`** on the sum of `discounted + tax + shipping`.

The final return: `round(discounted + tax + shipping_cost(order), 2)`.

One thing worth flagging: there's a `line_total` function in `pricing.py` and a `shipping_cost` free-shipping rule that appear to contradict the standing conventions noted in your context (bulk threshold and a 75€ free-shipping rule) — but I haven't changed anything, per your read-only instruction.

text:
Two files break if you change `compute_tax`'s signature:

1. **`shop/orders.py`** — imports the module (`from shop import pricing`, line 2) and calls `pricing.compute_tax(discounted, order.country)` at line 19.
2. **`tests/acceptance.py`** — imports the module (line 10) and calls `pricing.compute_tax(100.0, "US")` at line 49 (the "zero-rated country pays no tax" check).

No other file in the project imports or references `shop.pricing` or `compute_tax` — I checked the whole tree (grep for `compute_tax`, `import pricing`, `from shop import pricing`, `from shop.pricing` returned only those matches). Note the search also shows `shop/pricing.py` itself (the definition) and nothing else.

One more detail: `tests/acceptance.py` also calls `pricing.apply_discount` and `pricing.line_total`, but those don't depend on `compute_tax`'s signature — they'd keep passing unless you change more than the tax function.

text:
**`Inventory.reserve`** in `shop/inventory.py`.

Why: it does `p.stock -= quantity` with no check that `quantity <= p.stock` (or even that the quantity is sane), so it silently drives stock counts negative and returns the result as if the reservation succeeded — corrupting inventory data without any error.

## How the reports get their numbers

**Data source** — the numbers in *every* report trace back to `Product.stock` (an `int` on the `Product` dataclass in `models.py`). Those objects are built by `storage.load()` reading `data/catalogue.json`, then wrapped in `Inventory.__init__` as a dict keyed by SKU: `{p.sku: p}`.

**`inventory.py`** is the only thing that changes stock:
- `available(sku)` → returns `p.stock` (or `0` if the SKU is unknown).
- `reserve(sku, quantity)` → `p.stock -= quantity`. No availability check — it will happily drive stock negative.
- `restock(sku, quantity)` → `p.stock += quantity`.

**`report.py`** just *reads* that state and formats it as text:
- `stock_report(inventory)` — iterates `inventory.products` **sorted by SKU**, truncates each name to 24 chars (left-justified) and right-justifies `stock` to 6 chars, one `| name | qty |` row per product.
- `low_stock_report(inventory, threshold=5)` — identical formatting, but keeps only rows where `p.stock <= threshold` (so 5 and below, **including 0**).
- `category_report(inventory, category)` — same as the stock report but filtered by `p.category`.
- `top_products(sales, limit=3)` — sorts a `sales` dict by value with `sorted(..., key=lambda kv: kv[1])`, i.e. **ascending**, and returns the first `limit`. Note: that's lowest-first despite the docstring "Best-selling products first" — looks like a bug, but it's not fed by `Inventory` at all.

## The reports (current `data/catalogue.json`)

**Stock report:**
```
| Widget                |     40 |
| Gadget                |     12 |
| Doohickey             |      3 |
| Thingamajig           |      0 |
```

**Low-stock report (threshold 5):**
```
| Doohickey             |      3 |
| Thingamajig           |      0 |
```

**Products in both:** `Doohickey` (SKU-3, stock 3) and `Thingamajig` (SKU-4, stock 0). Widget and Gadget are above the threshold, so they appear only in the full stock report.

One caveat: this turn is read-only, so the shell was blocked and I couldn't *execute* the interpreter — the output above is the exact text those functions produce, computed by hand from the formatting logic and the catalogue data. No files changed.

text:
Both files are short; here's the full walkthrough.

## shop/storage.py

Two functions, both JSON round-trippers around `Product` objects.

- **`save(path, products)`** — takes a list of `Product` and a path. Builds a list of plain dicts (`sku`, `name`, `unit_price`, `stock`, `category`), then `json.dump(..., indent=2, ensure_ascii=False)` to disk. Returns `len(data)` (the number of products written). Not imported anywhere in `cli.py` — it's a write helper for other entry points.
- **`load(path)`** — opens the file, `json.load` it into a list of dicts, and rebuilds each row as `Product(**row)`. Returns a list of `Product`. It relies on the JSON keys exactly matching the dataclass field names in `models.py` (`sku`, `name`, `unit_price`, `stock`, `category`).

There is **no error handling anywhere** in `storage.py` — no try/except, no `os.path.exists` check, no default catalogue fallback.

## shop/cli.py

- **`build_demo_order(inv)`** — constructs a hard-coded `Order("D-1", "demo", country="GR")` with two `OrderLine`s: `SKU-1` ×2 and `SKU-2` ×1, taking each line's price from `inv.get(...).unit_price`.
- **`main(argv=None)`** — the entry point:
  1. Loads the catalogue: `Inventory(storage.load("data/catalogue.json"))`.
  2. If the first CLI arg is `"stock"`, prints `report.stock_report(inv)` and returns 0.
  3. Otherwise builds the demo order and prints `total: {orders.order_total(order):.2f}`.

## Fresh install, no catalogue file

It **crashes with an unhandled `FileNotFoundError`** at step 1 of `main`, before it can do anything useful:

1. `storage.load("data/catalogue.json")` → `open(path, encoding="utf-8")` raises `FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'data/catalogue.json'`.
2. There's no `try/except` in `load`, `main`, or anywhere up the call chain — the traceback propagates straight out of `raise SystemExit(main())`.

So on a fresh checkout with no `data/` directory (or an empty one), every invocation dies the same way — even `shop/cli.py stock`. There's no bootstrap path that seeds a default catalogue.

Two secondary failure modes worth knowing, same root cause:
- If `data/catalogue.json` exists but a row is missing a field, `Product(**row)` raises `TypeError` (unexpected/missing keyword).
- If `SKU-1` or `SKU-2` is absent from the catalogue, `inv.get("SKU-1")` returns `None` and `.unit_price` raises `AttributeError` in `build_demo_order` — that path is only reached for non-`stock` invocations.

No files changed.

text:
Here's every module in one line each:

- **`shop/__init__.py`** — package marker holding the version string (`0.3.0`), nothing else.
- **`shop/models.py`** — the dataclasses: `Product` (sku, name, unit_price, stock, category), `OrderLine` (with a `subtotal` property), and `Order` (lines + country + `item_count()`).
- **`shop/storage.py`** — JSON persistence: `save()` serializes `Product`s to disk, `load()` rebuilds them (no error handling).
- **`shop/inventory.py`** — the `Inventory` wrapper (dict keyed by SKU) with `get`/`available`/`reserve`/`restock`, plus an `OutOfStock` exception.
- **`shop/pricing.py`** — discounts and tax: bulk-discount constants, `apply_discount()`, `compute_tax()`, `line_total()`.
- **`shop/orders.py`** — order math: `subtotal()`, `shipping_cost()`, and `order_total()`, composing pricing functions.
- **`shop/report.py`** — text formatting: `top_products()`, `stock_report()`, `category_report()`, `low_stock_report()`.
- **`shop/cli.py`** — the entry point: builds a demo order or prints the stock report, depending on the first CLI arg.

## Tightest coupling

**`models.py` ↔ `storage.py`.** They're two sides of one contract: `storage.save()` hard-codes the exact five field names it writes, and `storage.load()` splats each JSON row straight into `Product(**row)`. Every other module (`inventory`, `report`, `cli`) depends on `models`, but they read `Product` attributes generically and would survive a field rename much more easily. `models`/`storage` have a positional, name-exact coupling — a field rename in the dataclass breaks `save` and `load` the moment the JSON is round-tripped, with no schema or validation in between.

(Close runner-up: `orders.py` → `pricing.py`, but that's one-directional and function-level, so a much weaker bond.)

answer without touching

text:
The final amount is computed by **`order_total(order)`** in `shop/orders.py` (line 15).

It calls, in order:

1. **`subtotal(order)`** — `shop/orders.py` (line 4) — sums each line's `OrderLine.subtotal` property (`shop/models.py`, line 20), which is `unit_price × quantity`.
2. **`pricing.apply_discount(goods, order.item_count())`** — `shop/pricing.py` (line 8) — applies the 10% bulk discount when quantity exceeds `BULK_THRESHOLD` (10). `order.item_count()` is in `shop/models.py` (line 32).
3. **`pricing.compute_tax(discounted, order.country)`** — `shop/pricing.py` (line 15) — VAT by destination country, cents-rounded.
4. **`shipping_cost(order)`** — `shop/orders.py` (line 8) — which itself calls `subtotal(order)` again to check the free-shipping threshold.

The result is `round(discounted + tax + shipping, 2)`.

Two things I noticed while reading (not requested, flagging only because they'd skew the "final amount"): `shipping_cost` in `orders.py` has inverted logic — it returns `0.0` when the subtotal is **below** €50 and `4.90` when it's **above**, the opposite of "at or above the free-shipping threshold ships free". And `apply_discount` uses `quantity > BULK_THRESHOLD` (strict), so exactly 10 units does *not* trigger the bulk discount despite the docstring saying "BULK_THRESHOLD units or more".

text:
If you change the signature of `compute_tax` in `shop/pricing.py`, the affected files are:

**Direct importers of the `pricing` module** (they'd carry the module reference, but only break if the call itself changes):

- `shop/orders.py` — line 2: `from shop import pricing`
- `tests/acceptance.py` — line 10: `from shop import orders, pricing, report, storage`

**Direct callers of `compute_tax`:**

- `shop/orders.py` — line 19: `pricing.compute_tax(discounted, order.country)`
- `tests/acceptance.py` — line 49: `pricing.compute_tax(100.0, "US")`

**Indirect breakage via `order_total`, which calls `compute_tax`:**

- `shop/cli.py` — line 23: `orders.order_total(order)` (CLI entry point; `main()` breaks)
- `tests/acceptance.py` — line 92: `orders.order_total(o)`

That's the complete set. No other file imports `pricing` or calls `compute_tax` — `cli.py` imports `orders, report, storage` (not `pricing`), and `report.py`, `storage.py`, `inventory.py`, `models.py` don't reference it at all.

One nuance: `compute_tax(amount, country="GR")` has a default for `country`, so a signature change that only affects that default's value would not break the two callers that pass `country` explicitly (they'd still work); only callers relying on the default or positional arity would break.

text:
`storage.save` in `shop/storage.py`.

It opens the file with mode `"w"`, which truncates the existing catalogue **before** writing the new one, with no temp-file-then-rename — so any crash or exception mid-write silently leaves the on-disk catalogue truncated or empty with no backup. (Related but secondary: it also omits `encoding="utf-8"`, so under Windows' cp1252 default it would mangle any non-ASCII characters written with `ensure_ascii=False`.)

text:
Read-only this turn, so I can't shell-execute the reports — I've traced the code and computed the output directly from `data/catalogue.json` + the report logic. Here's the full picture.

## How the numbers flow

1. **Source of truth is `data/catalogue.json`** — four records, each with `sku`, `name`, `unit_price`, `stock`, `category`.
2. `storage.load()` reads that JSON and turns each row into a `Product` dataclass (`models.py`). No filtering, no summing — just a straight row→object mapping.
3. `Inventory.__init__` builds `self.products = {p.sku: p for p in products}` — a dict keyed by SKU.
4. `stock_report` / `low_stock_report` / `category_report` all iterate `sorted(inventory.products.items())` (alphabetical by SKU) and read two fields off each `Product`: `p.name` and `p.stock`.

So the "numbers" are simply **each product's `stock` field as it exists in the in-memory `Inventory`**, not the JSON file. `reserve()` decrements and `restock()` increments that field in memory; nothing calls `storage.save()`, so the on-disk JSON never changes during a run.

**Key detail — no aggregation anywhere.** `stock_report` doesn't total anything; it prints one row per SKU. `low_stock_report` is the same loop with a filter `if p.stock > threshold: continue` (default `threshold=5`), so "low stock" means **stock ≤ 5, including zero**.

Formatting in both: name truncated to 24 chars and left-padded to 24, stock right-padded to 6, rows joined by newlines.

## The reports (computed)

**Stock report** (all products, sorted by SKU):

```
| Widget                |     40 |
| Gadget                |     12 |
| Doohickey             |      3 |
| Thingamajig           |      0 |
```

**Low-stock report** (threshold 5, i.e. stock ≤ 5):

```
| Doohickey             |      3 |
| Thingamajig           |      0 |
```

## Products in both

**Doohickey (SKU-3, stock 3)** and **Thingamajig (SKU-4, stock 0)**.

Since `stock_report` lists *every* product and `low_stock_report` is just the ≤5 subset, the intersection is exactly the low-stock list — Widget (40) and Gadget (12) are too well-stocked to qualify.

One side observation, not asked but worth flagging: `report.top_products` sorts `sales` **ascending** and takes `[:limit]`, which actually returns the *worst*-selling products first — the docstring says "best-selling". Not touching it since this turn is read-only.

text:
Both files are small; here's the full walkthrough. (Read-only, no changes.)

## `shop/storage.py` — JSON persistence

**`save(path, products)`**
- Takes a list of `Product` dataclasses, converts each into a plain dict with exactly these five keys: `sku, name, unit_price, stock, category`.
- Writes them to `path` as JSON (`indent=2, ensure_ascii=False`) and returns the count written.
- Two gotchas: the field list is **hardcoded**, so if `Product` ever gains a field it silently won't be persisted; and `open(path, "w")` has no `encoding=` argument, so it uses the platform default — on a Greek Windows box (cp1253) a non-ASCII product name could get mangled, because `ensure_ascii=False` writes raw UTF-8 bytes but the file handle assumes the locale codec.

**`load(path)`**
- Opens `path` with `encoding="utf-8"`, `json.load`s it, then does `Product(**row)` on every dict — i.e. each JSON object's keys must match `Product`'s field names exactly or you get a `TypeError`.
- Returns a `list[Product]`.
- No error handling of any kind: missing file, empty/corrupt JSON, or a stray key all raise and propagate.

## `shop/cli.py` — entry point

**`build_demo_order(inv)`**
- Builds a demo `Order` (`D-1`, customer `"demo"`, country `"GR"`) with two lines: `SKU-1 × 2` and `SKU-2 × 1`.
- Each line's `unit_price` is pulled **live from the inventory** (`inv.get(sku).unit_price`), so the demo order always reflects the catalogue's current prices, not hardcoded numbers.

**`main(argv=None)`**
1. `argv = argv or sys.argv[1:]`.
2. `inv = Inventory(storage.load("data/catalogue.json"))` — this runs **before** any argument check.
3. If the first argument is `"stock"` → prints `report.stock_report(inv)` and returns `0`.
4. Otherwise → builds the demo order, prints `total: {orders.order_total(order):.2f}`, returns `0`.

For the demo path, `order_total` chains: `subtotal` (sum of line subtotals) → `apply_discount` (10% off only if item count is **> 10**, i.e. 11+) → `compute_tax` (24% GR VAT, truncated to cents via `int(x*100)/100`) → `shipping_cost` → `round(..., 2)`. Demo result: subtotal 44.48 → no discount → tax 10.67 → shipping 0.00 → **total 55.15**.

## Fresh install with no catalogue file

It **crashes immediately** with an uncaught `FileNotFoundError`.

The reason: `main` calls `storage.load("data/catalogue.json")` unconditionally as its very first real step, and `load` is a bare `open(...)` with no `try/except`, no fallback to an empty catalogue, and no "create the file if absent" logic. Nothing in `cli.py` ever calls `storage.save`, so the CLI never writes the file either.

So on a fresh checkout with no `data/catalogue.json`:

- `python -m shop.cli stock` → traceback (`FileNotFoundError`), non-zero exit — the load happens before the `"stock"` branch is even reached.
- `python -m shop.cli` (demo order) → same traceback.
- The `raise SystemExit(main())` wrapper doesn't help, because the exception is *inside* `main()` and propagates past it — you get the full traceback rather than a clean exit code.

## One thing worth flagging (not changing)

`orders.shipping_cost` is inverted relative to its own docstring *and* to the standing rule you just saved. It reads:

```python
if subtotal(order) < 50.0:
    return 0.0   # free BELOW 50
return 4.90      # charge AT/ABOVE 50
```

So it gives free shipping under €50 and charges €4.90 over €50 — backwards, and the threshold is €50, not the €75 you want. Given the rule "free shipping at 75, never lower," this function will need a real fix when you're ready to touch code — I've left it alone per the read-only instruction.

| Module | One-liner |

| `shop/models.py` | Defines the three core dataclasses — `Product`, `OrderLine`, `Order` — plus `Order.item_count()` and the `OrderLine.subtotal` property. |
| `shop/pricing.py` | Discount and VAT math: `apply_discount` (10% off above a bulk threshold), `compute_tax` (country VAT truncated to cents), and `line_total`. |
| `shop/inventory.py` | `Inventory` with `get`/`available`/`reserve`/`restock` keyed by SKU, plus an `OutOfStock` exception. |
| `shop/orders.py` | Order totals: `subtotal`, `shipping_cost` (the inverted one), and `order_total` (goods → discount → tax → shipping, rounded). |
| `shop/storage.py` | JSON persistence — `save` writes `Product`s to disk, `load` reads them back with no error handling. |
| `shop/report.py` | Plain-text renderers — `stock_report`, `category_report`, `low_stock_report`, and the sort-order-buggy `top_products`. |
| `shop/cli.py` | Entry point — loads the catalogue, and either prints the stock report (`stock`) or the demo-order total. |
| `shop/__init__.py` | Package marker; just sets `__version__ = "0.3.0"`. |
| `tests/acceptance.py` | A `@check`-registered regression suite asserting baseline behaviours; exit 0 = green. |
| `README.md` | Docs — run commands and the module layout. |

## Most tightly coupled pair

**`shop/orders.py` ↔ `shop/pricing.py`.**

`orders.py` is the only consumer of pricing's public API and depends on all three of its functions: `subtotal` feeds `apply_discount(goods, ...)` and `compute_tax(discounted, ...)`, and `order_total` chains them in a fixed sequence. The coupling is also *semantic* — the acceptance tests lock `apply_discount` and `compute_tax` to the exact values `order_total` assumes (e.g. 10% discount, 24% default VAT, zero-rated US), so a change in `pricing.py` silently changes every order total downstream.

The runner-up worth naming: `cli.py` ↔ `storage.py`, since `cli` hard-wires `storage.load("data/catalogue.json")` as its first act — but that's a single-call dependency, much weaker than the three-function, order-of-operations bond between `orders` and `pricing`.
