 [2026-08-03] CI gained a pg-upgrade job: apply the merge-base schema, seed real rows, apply ONLY the PR migrations, assert the data survived. Rationale: pg-real applies all 548 migrations to an EMPTY database, so a NOT NULL / CHECK / unique index / backfill passes against zero rows and can still break prod. Proven locally against supabase/postgres:15.8.1.060 with three bad migrations: a CHECK violating an ore-level row and a NOT NULL on a populated column both exit 0 on empty and exit 3 on seeded. Base migrations are read from the merge-base git tree, not the working tree, so a PR that edits a shipped migration still surfaces here.
 [2026-08-03] Issue #323 automatic excess depreciation is limited to reconciled IL 18 machinery and equipment with linear book depreciation and posts 8853/2153: buildings, intangible assets, and the 25 percent rest-value method follow separate rules, so calculation fails closed on an incomplete register or unposted planned depreciation.

+[2026-08-03] Issue #314 zeroes the F-skatt avgifter basis at the calculation boundary as well as the rate: a rate-only exemption would stop the 7510/2731 charge but leave a false contribution basis in salary reports and AGI totals; the separate FK011/FK131 XML rendering defect remains scoped to issue #315.
