🐇📜 I hopped through lines of dots and fees,
Fixed tiny crumbs and oddities with ease.
Prices tuned and payouts primed,
A tidy ledger, neatly rhymed. ✨

Description check ⚠️ Warning The PR description is largely incomplete, consisting entirely of template placeholders with only a single unchecked checklist item 'Updates in Accounting docs' providing minimal context. Complete the description with meaningful context explaining why the accounting documentation needed updating and provide detailed checklist items for each of the four new subsections added.
Title check ❓ Inconclusive The title 'Accounting doc update, minor changes' is vague and overly generic, using non-descriptive terms like 'minor changes' that don't convey the specific nature of the substantive documentation additions. Revise the title to be more specific about the actual changes, such as 'Add payout processing and operational adjustments to accounting documentation'.

113-115: Refine phrasing in dust handling threshold explanation.

The phrase "very small transfers" uses imprecise language. Consider replacing "very" with a more specific descriptor that better conveys the intent (e.g., "minimal," "insignificant," or "sub-threshold").

Apply this diff to improve clarity:

-To avoid operational overhead from very small transfers, the accounting process enforces minimum transfer thresholds for both native-token and COW transfers.
+To avoid operational overhead from minimal transfers, the accounting process enforces minimum transfer thresholds for both native-token and COW transfers.

107-119: Well-structured additions to operational documentation.

The new "Payout processing and operational adjustments" section clearly documents three important operational policies: COW reward service fees (with proper CIP-48 reference), dust handling thresholds, and overdraft treatment. The explanations integrate well with the existing accounting context and provide necessary detail for implementers.

Comment on lines 38 to 40
#### Auction price corrections

In rare cases where an auction price recorded for a specific token is clearly anomalous (for example, due to upstream data inconsistencies), the accounting process applies a curated correction list to override the affected auction/token price. These corrections are applied deterministically during the accounting so that protocol/partner/network fee conversions to the native token reflect the intended auction pricing.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Fix heading hierarchy violation.

The "Auction price corrections" subsection uses an h4 heading (####) where an h3 heading (###) is expected. Markdown heading levels must increment by one at a time. Since this is a subsection under "Protocol and partner fees" (h2), it should be h3 to match the pattern of other subsections like "Protocol and partner fees in the settlement contract" (line 51).

Apply this diff to fix the heading level:

-#### Auction price corrections
+### Auction price corrections

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

In docs/cow-protocol/reference/core/auctions/accounting.md around lines 38 to

be an h3 (###) to follow the document hierarchy under the h2 "Protocol and

109-111: Minor style refinement: replace intensifier "very".

The phrase "very small transfers" uses an over-used intensifier. Consider a more direct phrasing to improve clarity.

-To avoid operational overhead from very small transfers, the accounting process enforces minimum transfer thresholds for both native-token and COW transfers. If a computed transfer amount is below the configured chain-specific threshold, that amount is not transferred for the given accounting period.

103-119: Heading hierarchy is now correct.

The "Auction price corrections" subsection at line 117 now properly uses h3 (###) instead of h4 (####), maintaining consistent hierarchy with the other subsections under the h2 "Payout processing and operational adjustments" heading. This resolves the previous review concern.


103-119: Documentation addition is well-structured and complete.

The new "Payout processing and operational adjustments" section integrates smoothly with existing documentation. All four subsections (service fees, dust handling, overdraft handling, and price corrections) are clearly explained, properly referenced (CIP-48 link), and maintain consistent terminology with the broader document.
