Folding in Traceability

In enterprise commerce, totals don't drift because someone forgot algebra. They drift because reality changes: promos expire, eligibility changes when an address arrives, catalog data updates, substitutions happen, and returns unwind prior discounts. When someone asks "why did the total change?" you need more than narration. You need evidence - a trail of facts you can replay and a pure computation that deterministically produces the same result.
