A General Ledger account in the chart of accounts. Header accounts (is_header=true) aggregate child accounts and cannot receive postings (Rule A2 / Rule 21). Leaf accounts (is_header=false, is_active=true) are the only valid targets for journal entry lines. System accounts (is_system_account=true) are provisioned by entity-seed-helpers.mjs and cannot be created or modified via the API.
