"""Replayable mechanical assurance controls for Open-item Reconciliation.

The controls in this module are deterministic because byte identity, reviewed
receipt binding, exact Decimal arithmetic, file-set equality, and gate
dependencies are mechanically verifiable. They do not decide source meaning,
materiality, evidence sufficiency, or an accounting conclusion.
