What it does
Start a stock count — the checklist of what to count is drawn up.
START a draft Count: resolves the selector ONCE to concrete lines (the scope's StockRecord shards [(II x bin x lot) — lot lines ride the records free] + whole-LF-only un-binned POOL lines), snapshots each line's on_hand, and FREEZES the line set. An EMPTY resolution refuses VALIDATION/EMPTY_SCOPE (the DECLARED start.empty_scope form — emits); an over-ceiling one refuses event-less NAMED {resolved, max: 32}. Re-gates the LF ACTIVE. Requires the doc CURRENT revision (OCC) + the unrestricted capability.

Arguments
| Name | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
id | ID ID! | yes | The id of the record. |
revision | ID ID! | yes | The revision id you read on the record; the change is refused if an edit landed in the meantime. |
reason | String | no | No further notes. |
Returns
Count Count! — A stock count: RECORDED stock vs PHYSICALLY-PRESENT stock at ONE LF, posting count_correct variance DELTAS (never absolute sets). Counts count ON_HAND presence only (condition rides reclass). posted is IMMUTABLE non-doomed history (recount = a NEW linked count); cancelled is the ONE doomed terminal (lists filter it). BLIND-BY-SHAPE while counting: line reads omit snapshot/expected/variance.
