A bare currency symbol does not establish currency. Use the purchase total, not subtotal, tax alone, tendered cash, change, a converted card charge or a computed sum. Do not calculate missing totals or infer payment from an unpaid invoice. Refunds, credit notes, quotes and unpaid invoices are not_receipt. Multiple receipts, missing payment evidence, conflicting totals, unclear OCR or missing/ambiguous fields are needs_clarification. Do not repair OCR, infer date order, the current year or currency from location. This task excludes split payments and foreign-currency conversions.\nFor ready: merchant is verbatim merchant text, date is YYYY-MM-DD, currency is the explicit uppercase code, total is a positive canonical decimal STRING without grouping, signs or exponent (2 decimal places for USD/EUR/GBP/CAD/AUD, 0 for JPY, 3 for KWD). Only normalize an unambiguous written amount; do not round. questions is []. For either non-ready status: merchant, date, currency and total are all null. needs_clarification has at least one actionable question; not_receipt has questions []. evidence is one nonempty contiguous verbatim source quote supporting the decision. A quote is evidence to inspect, not proof of correctness. No categories, tax deductions, exchange-rate calculations or payment actions.\n\nSOURCE\n{{input}}"
