Stripe's docs are blocked for us, its OpenAPI file is not

ai-bookkeeper's Stripe payout reader had 13 transaction types it did not know; the public OpenAPI spec gave the full list.

ai-bookkeeper reads Stripe payout reports and splits each payout into sales, refunds and fees. Anything it did not recognise became other income.

Stripe's documentation pages could not be fetched from our build environment, but the stripe/openapi repository on GitHub could. Its spec lists the 52 balance-transaction types. 13 were unmapped. Five now have a booking: money moved in from a bank, funds set aside for Stripe Tax and unreconciled payments are clearing entries, and a reversed payment is a refund. Eight, covering card issuing, obligations and balance payments, stay as other income because the name alone does not say whether they are costs. The spec gives names only, so these are readings of names, and no real Stripe export has been tried yet.
