The golden path

The full product path has six parts: compose, sign, hand to the Clerk, intake approval, Bookkeeper draft, and posting approval. This current-branch walkthrough reached and records the first two. It stops rather than filling the remaining four parts with older captures or an invented demo state. Typewriter to posted journal entry traces all six parts in source and states separately what was not verified in the deployed product.

​
1 · Choose the document

The Typewriter exposes its schema registry directly. For this walk, the user chose a supplier VAT invoice from the complete registry.

Start with a document type that the renderer and form both know.

​
2 · Compose against the live document

The form and the document move together. The walked invoice uses synthetic demo values and one line item; the preview is the document the next person will inspect.

A completed supplier VAT invoice and its live rendered preview, before save.

The same screen refuses an empty save. That control is shown in Refusals and revisions.

​
3 · Save, then stop the maker at approval

Saving creates the document detail with the rendered PDF, the approval trail, handoff state, and stored values together. The author sees the rule immediately: another designated approver has to sign.
Saved Typewriter document with the maker approval refusal

The author can inspect the saved record, but cannot approve the document they made.

​
4 · A separate approver inspects the same document

The designated approver sees the same PDF and stored values with the approval action available.

​
5 · Approval is visible before handoff

Back in Documents, the row is Approved and the handoff remains a separate next action. That boundary is visible without implying that the document is already in review or in the ledger.
Approved Typewriter document row with a separate submit action

Approved is not submitted: the Documents row keeps those states and actions separate.

The visual walkthrough ends here because the next operation did not complete on the local current branch. No current screenshot in this guide claims an intake row, a draft entry, a posting approval, or a posted ledger entry.
