maybe have it print a "amounts fixed" message at the end of every line in
that tree where it had to adjust amounts for consistency? should be pretty
easy for you to add, just compare node.fixed_* with node.*.

i intentionally changed it to report the consistent values since that makes
it much easier to spot if all the budget was used or not -- most of our
tasks we can adjust the budget easily so defaulting to adjusting it (with
an accompanying error message) is the correct move imho.
