recordCashEntry
mutation · in the family Till and cash management
What it does
Record cash moving in or out of the drawer outside a sale — paid-ins, paid-outs, drops to the safe, pickups.
RECORD one MANUAL drawer entry against an OPEN till session: the entry + the drawerTotals cache stamp land in ONE transaction under the session's OCC (concurrent records serialize CONFLICT/REVISION_STALE, retryable); an entry driving its currency's total negative stamps overdrawn + is evented. Requires the unrestricted capability.
What happens
Posts one signed drawer entry with a required reason; the drawer’s expected totals update immediately.
Careful
An entry that would drive the drawer negative is flagged and evented — the drawer story is always auditable.

Returns
CashEntry CashEntry! — ONE posted cash-drawer ledger fact: the SIGN is the direction (positive = cash INTO the drawer). sysId-LESS (the class); IMMUTABLE — NO update or doom op exists (corrections are NEW compensating entries); posted ONLY by openTillSession (float_in), recordCashEntry (the manual subset), closeTillSession (count_adjust), and the tender writers (cash_sale/cash_refund/change_given) — each in ONE transaction with the drawerTotals cache stamp.
