feat(ai): suggest automation rules during onboarding (#523)

Suggests transaction categorization rules during onboarding.

After a sync or import, it groups the uncategorized transactions, asks
Gemini (via laravel/ai) to map the common merchants to categories, and
shows the results for review. The user edits or drops any and creates
the ones they want. During onboarding the accepted rules also categorize
existing transactions right away.

Off by default: it needs the `AiRuleSuggestions` Pennant flag and a
per-user AI consent. The model and thresholds are config-driven.
`ai:suggest-rules {user}` prints what a user would get.

The settings-page surface and monthly regeneration are a follow-up.

+# Developing with the Laravel AI SDK
+
+The Laravel AI SDK (`laravel/ai`) is the official AI package for Laravel, providing a unified API for agents, images, audio, transcription, embeddings, reranking, vector stores, and file management across multiple AI providers.
+
+## Searching the Documentation
+
+This package is new. Always search the documentation before implementing any feature. Never guess at APIs — the documentation is the single source of truth.
+
+- Use broad, simple queries that match the documentation section headings below.
+- Do not add package names to queries — package information is shared automatically. Use `test agent fake`, not `laravel ai test agent fake`.
+- Run multiple queries at once — the most relevant results are returned first.
+
+### Documentation Sections
+
+Use these section headings as query terms for accurate results:
+
+- Introduction, Installation, Configuration, Provider Support
+- Agents: Prompting, Conversation Context, Structured Output, Attachments, Streaming, Broadcasting, Queueing, Tools, Provider Tools, Middleware, Anonymous Agents, Agent Configuration
+- Images
+- Audio (TTS)
+- Transcription (STT)
+- Embeddings: Querying Embeddings, Caching Embeddings
+- Reranking
+- Files
+- Vector Stores: Adding Files to Stores
+- Failover
+- Testing: Agents, Images, Audio, Transcriptions, Embeddings, Reranking, Files, Vector Stores
+- Events
+
+## Decision Workflow
+
+Determine the right entry point before writing code:
+
+Text generation or chat? → Agent class with `Promptable` trait
+Chat with conversation history? → Agent + `Conversational` interface (manual) or `RemembersConversations` trait (automatic)
+Structured JSON output? → Agent + `HasStructuredOutput` interface
+Image generation? → `Image::of()->generate()`
+Audio synthesis? → `Audio::of()->generate()`
+Transcription? → `Transcription::fromPath()->generate()`
+Embeddings? → `Embeddings::for()->generate()`
+Reranking? → `Reranking::of()->rerank()`
+File storage? → `Document::fromPath()->put()`
+Vector stores? → `Stores::create()`
+
+## Basic Usage Examples
+
+### Agents
+
+```php
+use Laravel\Ai\Contracts\Agent;
+use Laravel\Ai\Enums\Lab;
+use Laravel\Ai\Promptable;
+
+class SalesCoach implements Agent
+{
+    use Promptable;
+
+    public function instructions(): string
+    {
+        return 'You are a sales coach.';
+    }
+}
+
+// Prompting
+$response = (new SalesCoach)->prompt('Analyze this transcript...');
+echo $response->text;
+
+// Container resolution with dependency injection
+$agent = SalesCoach::make(user: $user);
+
+// Override provider, model, or timeout per-prompt
+$response = (new SalesCoach)->prompt(
+    'Analyze this transcript...',
+    provider: Lab::Anthropic,
+    model: 'claude-haiku-4-5-20251001',
+    timeout: 120,
+);
+
+// Streaming (returns SSE response from a route)
+return (new SalesCoach)->stream('Analyze this transcript...');
+
+// Queueing
+(new SalesCoach)->queue('Analyze this transcript...')
+    ->then(fn ($response) => /* ... */);
+
+// Anonymous agents
+use function Laravel\Ai\{agent};
+
+$response = agent(instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant.')->prompt('Hello');
+```
+
+### Conversation Context
+
+Manual conversation history via the `Conversational` interface:
+
+```php
+use Laravel\Ai\Contracts\Agent;
+use Laravel\Ai\Contracts\Conversational;
+use Laravel\Ai\Messages\Message;
+use Laravel\Ai\Promptable;
+
+class SalesCoach implements Agent, Conversational
+{
+    use Promptable;
+
+    public function __construct(public User $user) {}
+
+    public function instructions(): string { return 'You are a sales coach.'; }
+
+    public function messages(): iterable
+    {
+        return History::where('user_id', $this->user->id)
+            ->latest()->limit(50)->get()->reverse()
+            ->map(fn ($m) => new Message($m->role, $m->content))
+            ->all();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Automatic conversation persistence via the `RemembersConversations` trait:
+
+```php
+use Laravel\Ai\Concerns\RemembersConversations;
+use Laravel\Ai\Contracts\Agent;
+use Laravel\Ai\Contracts\Conversational;
+use Laravel\Ai\Promptable;
+
+class SalesCoach implements Agent, Conversational
+{
+    use Promptable, RemembersConversations;
+
+    public function instructions(): string { return 'You are a sales coach.'; }
+}
+
+// Start a new conversation
+$response = (new SalesCoach)->forUser($user)->prompt('Hello!');
+$conversationId = $response->conversationId;
+
+// Continue an existing conversation
+$response = (new SalesCoach)->continue($conversationId, as: $user)->prompt('Tell me more.');
+```
+
+### Structured Output
+
+```php
+use Illuminate\Contracts\JsonSchema\JsonSchema;
+use Laravel\Ai\Contracts\Agent;
+use Laravel\Ai\Contracts\HasStructuredOutput;
+use Laravel\Ai\Promptable;
+
+class Reviewer implements Agent, HasStructuredOutput
+{
+    use Promptable;
+
+    public function instructions(): string { return 'Review and score content.'; }
+
+    public function schema(JsonSchema $schema): array
+    {
+        return [
+            'feedback' => $schema->string()->required(),
+            'score' => $schema->integer()->min(1)->max(10)->required(),
+        ];
+    }
+}
+
+$response = (new Reviewer)->prompt('Review this...');
+echo $response['score']; // Access like an array
+```
+
+### Images
+
+```php
+use Laravel\Ai\Image;
+
+$image = Image::of('A sunset over mountains')
+    ->landscape()
+    ->quality('high')
+    ->generate();
+
+$path = $image->store(); // Store to default disk
+```
+
+### Audio
+
+```php
+use Laravel\Ai\Audio;
+
+$audio = Audio::of('Hello from Laravel.')
+    ->female()
+    ->instructions('Speak warmly')
+    ->generate();
+
+$path = $audio->store();
+```
+
+### Transcription
+
+```php
+use Laravel\Ai\Transcription;
+
+$transcript = Transcription::fromStorage('audio.mp3')
+    ->diarize()
+    ->generate();
+
+echo (string) $transcript;
+```
+
+### Embeddings
+
+```php
+use Laravel\Ai\Embeddings;
+use Illuminate\Support\Str;
+
+$response = Embeddings::for(['Text one', 'Text two'])
+    ->dimensions(1536)
+    ->cache()
+    ->generate();
+
+// Single string via Stringable
+$embedding = Str::of('Napa Valley has great wine.')->toEmbeddings();
+```
+
+### Reranking
+
+```php
+use Laravel\Ai\Reranking;
+
+$response = Reranking::of(['Django is Python.', 'Laravel is PHP.', 'React is JS.'])
+    ->limit(5)
+    ->rerank('PHP frameworks');
+
+$response->first()->document; // "Laravel is PHP."
+```
+
+### Files and Vector Stores
+
+```php
+use Laravel\Ai\Files\Document;
+use Laravel\Ai\Stores;
+
+// Store a file with the provider
+$file = Document::fromPath('/path/to/doc.pdf')->put();
+
+// Create a vector store and add files
+$store = Stores::create('Knowledge Base');
+$store->add($file->id);
+$store->add(Document::fromStorage('manual.pdf')); // Store + add in one step
+```
+
+## Agent Configuration
+
+### PHP Attributes
+
+```php
+use Laravel\Ai\Attributes\{Provider, Model, MaxSteps, MaxTokens, Temperature, Timeout};
+use Laravel\Ai\Enums\Lab;
+
+#[Provider(Lab::Anthropic)]
+#[Model('claude-haiku-4-5-20251001')]
+#[MaxSteps(10)]
+#[MaxTokens(4096)]
+#[Temperature(0.7)]
+#[Timeout(120)]
+class MyAgent implements Agent
+{
+    use Promptable;
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+The `#[UseCheapestModel]` and `#[UseSmartestModel]` attributes are also available for automatic model selection.
+
+### Tools
+
+Implement the `HasTools` interface and scaffold tools with `php artisan make:tool`:
+
+```php
+use Laravel\Ai\Contracts\HasTools;
+
+class MyAgent implements Agent, HasTools
+{
+    use Promptable;
+
+    public function tools(): iterable
+    {
+        return [new MyCustomTool];
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Provider Tools
+
+```php
+use Laravel\Ai\Providers\Tools\{WebSearch, WebFetch, FileSearch};
+
+public function tools(): iterable
+{
+    return [
+        (new WebSearch)->max(5)->allow(['laravel.com']),
+        new WebFetch,
+        new FileSearch(stores: ['store_id']),
+    ];
+}
+```
+
+### Conversation Memory
+
+```php
+use Laravel\Ai\Concerns\RemembersConversations;
+use Laravel\Ai\Contracts\Conversational;
+
+class ChatBot implements Agent, Conversational
+{
+    use Promptable, RemembersConversations;
+    // ...
+}
+
+$response = (new ChatBot)->forUser($user)->prompt('Hello!');
+$response = (new ChatBot)->continue($conversationId, as: $user)->prompt('More...');
+```
+
+### Failover
+
+```php
+$response = (new MyAgent)->prompt('Hello', provider: [Lab::OpenAI, Lab::Anthropic]);
+```
+
+## Testing and Faking
+
+Each capability supports `fake()` with assertions:
+
+```php
+use App\Ai\Agents\SalesCoach;
+use Laravel\Ai\{Image, Audio, Transcription, Embeddings, Reranking, Files, Stores};
+
+// Agents
+SalesCoach::fake(['Response 1', 'Response 2']);
+SalesCoach::assertPrompted('query');
+SalesCoach::assertNotPrompted('query');
+SalesCoach::assertNeverPrompted();
+SalesCoach::fake()->preventStrayPrompts();
+
+// Images
+Image::fake();
+Image::assertGenerated(fn ($prompt) => $prompt->contains('sunset'));
+Image::assertNothingGenerated();
+
+// Audio
+Audio::fake();
+Audio::assertGenerated(fn ($prompt) => $prompt->contains('Hello'));
+
+// Transcription
+Transcription::fake(['Transcribed text.']);
+Transcription::assertGenerated(fn ($prompt) => $prompt->isDiarized());
+
+// Embeddings
+Embeddings::fake();
+Embeddings::assertGenerated(fn ($prompt) => $prompt->contains('Laravel'));
+
+// Reranking
+Reranking::fake();
+Reranking::assertReranked(fn ($prompt) => $prompt->contains('PHP'));
+
+// Files
+Files::fake();
+Files::assertStored(fn ($file) => $file->mimeType() === 'text/plain');
+
+// Stores
+Stores::fake();
+Stores::assertCreated('Knowledge Base');
+$store = Stores::get('id');
+$store->assertAdded('file_id');
+```
+
+## Key Patterns
+
+- Namespace: `Laravel\Ai\`
+- Package: `composer require laravel/ai`
+- Agent pattern: Implement the `Agent` interface and use the `Promptable` trait
+- Optional interfaces: `HasTools`, `HasMiddleware`, `HasStructuredOutput`, `Conversational`
+- Entry-point classes: `Image`, `Audio`, `Transcription`, `Embeddings`, `Reranking`, `Stores`
+- Provider enum: `Laravel\Ai\Enums\Lab` (prefer over plain strings)
+- Artisan commands: `php artisan make:agent`, `php artisan make:tool`
+- Global helper: `agent()` for anonymous agents
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+### Wrong Namespace
+
+The namespace is `Laravel\Ai`, not `Illuminate\Ai` or `Laravel\AI`.
+
+```php
+// Correct
+use Laravel\Ai\Image;
+use Laravel\Ai\Contracts\Agent;
+use Laravel\Ai\Promptable;
+
+// Wrong — these do not exist
+use Illuminate\Ai\Image;
+use Laravel\AI\Agent;
+```
+
+### Unsupported Provider Capability
+
+Calling a capability not supported by a provider throws a `LogicException`. Refer to the provider support table below.
+
+## Provider Support
+
+| Feature    | Providers                                                       |
+| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Text       | OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Azure, Groq, xAI, DeepSeek, Mistral, Ollama |
+| Images     | OpenAI, Gemini, xAI                                            |
+| TTS        | OpenAI, ElevenLabs                                              |
+| STT        | OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Mistral                                     |
+| Embeddings | OpenAI, Gemini, Azure, Cohere, Mistral, Jina, VoyageAI         |
+| Reranking  | Cohere, Jina                                                    |
+| Files      | OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini                                       |
+
+Use the `Laravel\Ai\Enums\Lab` enum to reference providers in code instead of plain strings:
+
+```php
+use Laravel\Ai\Enums\Lab;
+
+Lab::Anthropic;
+Lab::OpenAI;
+Lab::Gemini;
+// ...
+```

+        a user's transactions. You are given a JSON object with:
+          - "transaction_groups": recurring groups of uncategorized transactions. Each has
+            a "field" (description, creditor_name or debtor_name), a "key", an example
+            "samples" list, an occurrence "count", an "avg_amount" and a "direction"
+            (outflow = money spent, inflow = money received).
+          - "categories": the user's existing categories, each with an "id", a "path"
+            (parent > child), a "type" and a "direction". Prefer leaf categories.
+
+        For each group that clearly belongs to a single category, return one suggestion:
+          - "group_key": echo the group's "key".
+          - "match_field": which field to match on (use the group's field).
+          - "match_operator": "contains" for free-text descriptions, "equals" for clean
+            counterparty names.
+          - "match_token": a short, lowercase, DISTINCTIVE substring that appears VERBATIM
+            in the group's samples (e.g. "mercadona", "netflix"). Never invent text that is
+            not present. Never use a token so generic it would match unrelated transactions
+            (avoid words like "compra", "payment", "card").
+          - "category_id": the id of the best-fitting existing category. An outflow group
+            must map to a spending category, an inflow group to an income category.
+          - If, and only if, no existing category fits, leave "category_id" empty and instead
+            propose "new_category_name" and "new_category_direction" (inflow or outflow).
+          - "confidence": 0.0–1.0, how sure you are.
+
+        Aim for broad coverage: return a suggestion for EVERY group you can map to a
+        category with reasonable confidence. Only skip a group when it is genuinely
+        ambiguous — for example internal transfers between the user's own accounts, or a
+        catch-all group mixing unrelated transactions. Never invent a category you are
+        unsure about; instead let "confidence" honestly reflect your certainty (the app

+
+**Status:** STOPPED by user after run 7.
+**Runs:** 7 | **Kept:** 7 | **Discarded:** 0 | **Crashed:** 0
+
+**Headline:** live-model coverage for victoor89@gmail.com
+**real_tx 416 → 1122** of 1329 uncategorized tx (**31% → 84%**).
+
+Segment 0 primary = oracle_tx (saturated near 1329 by run 2).
+Segment 1 primary = reachable_tx (realizable ceiling). real_tx = live-Gemini
+ground truth (median of repeated runs; the user-facing number).
+
+Note: the small per-run commits were later squashed into two feature commits
+(`max_groups_sent 40->150` and `resilient batched generation`); the `commit`
+column below is historical. Final code state is at HEAD `133c95f0`.
+
+Ground truth (live Gemini) progression:
+- baseline (40 groups): 416 (437/410/400)
+- 150 groups, single payload: 711 (711/214/774) — unstable tail
+- 150 groups + batching: 903 (970/903/885)
+- + frequency grouping: 925 (950/900/925)
+- + send all groups (min1/cap500): 1124, then 1122 (resilient) — 84%

+
+## What shipped (all language-agnostic, pan-EU safe)
+1. `max_groups_sent` 40 → 150 then cap raised; send every group.
+2. `min_group_count` 2 → 1 (include one-off merchants).
+3. Batch the Gemini call (`group_batch_size`=40) so a large payload doesn't make
+   the model under-enumerate.
+4. Frequency-based description grouping (drop tokens appearing in >2% of the
+   user's tx) — merges merchant variants in any language; no wordlists.
+5. Resilient batching: retry once, tolerate partial-batch failure, only error
+   if every batch fails.
+
+## Cost / UX tradeoff to decide before shipping defaults
+min_group_count=1 + cap=500 sends ~441 groups → ~12 Gemini calls per run and
+creates one-off rules for single transactions. It buys ~+200 real
+categorizations (925→1122). A more economical default (min_group_count=2,
+cap~200, reachable≈1049, ~5 calls, recurring merchants only) captures most of

-# Autoresearch: CI total execution time
+# Autoresearch: AI rule-suggestion coverage
 
 ## Objective
-Reduce GitHub Actions CI wall-clock completion time for pull requests without weakening coverage or hiding failures.
+Maximize how many of a user's uncategorized transactions the AI rule-suggestion
+pipeline can categorize. Driven by `php artisan ai:suggest-rules <user>`.
+
+Workload: user `victoor89@gmail.com`, reset to a clean slate (0 automation
+rules, **1329** uncategorized transactions, all server-readable, 64 categories).
+The data is description-dominated: ~94% of groups key off the free-text
+`description` field (noisy Spanish bank descriptors); only ~62 transactions
+carry a `creditor_name`/`debtor_name`.
+
+The pipeline: `RuleSuggestionAggregator` groups uncategorized tx → caps to
+`max_groups_sent` groups with count ≥ `min_group_count` → Gemini maps groups to
+(field, operator, token, category) suggestions → `RuleSuggestionGuard` validates
+(token ≥3 chars, literal match ≥1, not over-broad > `overbroad_fraction`,
+confidence ≥ `confidence_floor`, category direction agrees) → persisted as rules.
 
 ## Metrics
-- **Primary**: ci_total_s (s, lower is better) — modeled PR workflow critical path from current `.github/workflows/ci.yml` plus recent successful CI job timings.
-- **Secondary**: build_assets_s, tests_s, browser_matrix_s, linter_s, static_analysis_s, performance_tests_s, job_count — tradeoff and bottleneck monitors.
+- **Primary**: `oracle_tx` (count, higher is better) — distinct uncategorized tx
+  that an ideal model + the REAL guard would categorize, given the groups the
+  REAL aggregator sends. Deterministic, zero-variance, instant. Measured by
+  `experiments/bench.php` with a FROZEN oracle (distinctive-token picker).
+- **Secondary**:
+  - `reachable_tx` — tx living in the groups the aggregator sends (hard ceiling).
+  - `groups_sent`, `validated_count`, `coverage_pct`.
+  - `real_tx` — GROUND TRUTH: distinct tx the live Gemini run + guard categorize.
+    Noisy (~±30 over runs: 437/410/400 at baseline). Measured at milestones only
+    via `experiments/calibrate_real.php` (one Gemini call); not in the loop.
 
 ## How to Run
-`./autoresearch.sh` — validates workflow structure, samples recent successful `CI` pull_request runs through `gh`, and outputs `METRIC name=value` lines.
+`./autoresearch.sh` — outputs `METRIC name=number` lines (oracle benchmark).
+Milestone ground truth: `php artisan tinker experiments/calibrate_real.php`.
 
 ## Files in Scope
-- `.github/workflows/ci.yml` — CI graph, job dependencies, sharding, commands.
-- `.github/actions/setup-php-deps/action.yml` — PHP/composer setup cache behavior.
-- `.github/actions/setup-bun-deps/action.yml` — Bun/node setup cache behavior.
-- `phpunit.xml`, `tests/Pest.php` — test suite partitioning only when coverage remains equivalent.
-- `package.json`, `composer.json` — CI scripts only, no dependency changes without approval.
+- `config/ai_suggestions.php` — thresholds (max_groups_sent, min_group_count,
+  confidence_floor, overbroad_fraction). **Single source of truth**: the tunable
+  `AI_SUGGESTIONS_*` overrides were removed from `.env`, so editing the config
+  default here actually takes effect. Threshold experiments live here.
+- `app/Services/Ai/RuleSuggestionAggregator.php` — grouping + key normalization
+  (the clustering lever; better merchant extraction merges more tx into bigger
+  groups so they pass min_group_count and produce clean tokens).
+- `app/Services/Ai/RuleSuggestionGuard.php` — validation logic.
+- `app/Ai/Agents/RuleSuggestionAgent.php` — the prompt (realization lever;
+  judge ONLY via `real_tx`, never oracle, since the oracle assumes ideal model).
+- `app/Services/Ai/LaravelAiRuleSuggestionGenerator.php` — batching the model
+  call would let us send more groups without one giant payload.
 
 ## Off Limits
-- No deleting or skipping real checks to win time.
-- No weakening assertions, lowering static-analysis level, or excluding tests unless moved to an equivalent job.
-- No production secrets or `.env` reads.
-- No dependency changes without explicit approval.
+- `experiments/bench.php` oracle token heuristic + stoplist are FROZEN. Improving
+  them games the metric. Only real pipeline code/config may change.
+- No deleting/weakening tests. No new dependencies without approval.
+- Do not re-add `AI_SUGGESTIONS_*` threshold overrides to `.env`.
+- Do not touch the user's DB rows further (already reset).
 
 ## Constraints
-- Small experiments.
-- Keep improvements only when primary metric improves.
-- Preserve CI correctness and failure visibility.
-- Prefer workflow graph/cache improvements before test-suite rewrites.
+- LANGUAGE-AGNOSTIC: the user base is pan-European (ES/DE/FR/IT/…), so NO product
+  change may hardcode Spanish (or any single-language) wordlists. Clustering /
+  noise removal must be statistical (e.g. per-user token frequency) or delegated
+  to the multilingual model. The Spanish stoplist in `experiments/bench.php` is a
+  measurement-only artifact for this one Spanish user — never ship its approach.
+- Every kept change must keep the AI test suite green
+  (`php artisan test --compact tests/Feature/Ai`).
+- Keep PHP style (`vendor/bin/pint --dirty`).
+- Threshold/clustering wins are judged by `oracle_tx`. Prompt/batching wins are
+  judged by `real_tx` (median of 2–3 runs, since it is noisy).
+- Validate `real_tx` after any kept ceiling change to confirm the live model
+  actually realizes part of the new ceiling (oracle is only an upper bound).
 
 ## What's Been Tried
-- Baseline: modeled PR CI critical path 406.50s. Browser path dominated: build-assets 65.5s + browser matrix 339s + aggregate.
-- Kept: manual Browser class filters over 5 shards. Modeled 355.76s. Same Browser classes covered exactly once.
-- Kept: skip separate build-assets job on PR and build assets inside Browser shards. Modeled 326.84s. Removes build-assets gate from PR critical path.
-- Kept: rebalance Browser filters over 6 shards. Modeled 293.24s.
-- Kept: run Browser filter shards with Pest `--parallel --processes=3`. Modeled 234.27s.
-- Discarded: 4 Browser processes. No modeled improvement over 3; individual slow tests dominate.
+- Baseline (max_groups_sent=40, min_group_count=2, overbroad=0.4, floor=0.3):
+  `oracle_tx=830`, `reachable_tx=515`, `groups_sent=40`, real_tx≈416 (median
+  437/410/400). The live model covers only ~25 of 40 groups → big gap between
+  real (≈416) and the oracle ceiling (830). Two independent levers:
+  raise the ceiling (aggregation/clustering) AND close the realization gap
+  (prompt/batching).
+
+## Idea Backlog (rough priority)
+1. [DONE r2] max_groups_sent 40 → 150 (covers all count≥2 groups).
+2. [DONE r3] Batch the Gemini call so a big payload doesn't make the model
+   under-enumerate (real_tx).
+3. LANGUAGE-AGNOSTIC clustering: strip noise tokens by per-user document
+   frequency (words shared across many of THIS user's groups are noise in any
+   language), not by a hardcoded wordlist. Merges merchant variants → more
+   count≥2 groups, cleaner tokens. Replaces the old "strip Spanish noise" idea.
+4. min_group_count 2 → 1 (adds 499 singleton groups; ceiling toward 1300).
+5. Tune overbroad_fraction / confidence_floor.
+6. Prompt: insist on covering EVERY group + multilingual merchant-token
+   extraction (real_tx).
+7. Use AI over all transaction descriptions (CSV-style) to discover groups —
+   user idea; explore as an alternative to PHP pre-aggregation.

+# Autoresearch Worklog: AI rule-suggestion coverage
+
+**Session goal:** maximize uncategorized tx the `ai:suggest-rules` pipeline can
+categorize for `victoor89@gmail.com`.
+
+## Data summary (clean slate)
+- 1329 uncategorized tx (all server-readable), 64 categories, 0 rules.
+- 650 distinct normalized groups; 499 singletons; 151 groups with count≥2
+  (covering 830 tx); 90 groups count≥3 (708 tx).
+- Description-dominated: ~1267 tx key off `description`, ~62 off creditor/debtor.
+- Ceiling map (sum of top-N group counts): top40=515, top60=602, top100=728,
+  top150=828, top200=879, top300=979, all650=1300.
+
+## Metric
+- Primary `oracle_tx` (deterministic, frozen oracle in experiments/bench.php).
+- Ground truth `real_tx` (live Gemini, noisy, milestone-only).
+
+---
+
+### Run 1: baseline — oracle_tx=830 (KEEP)
+- What changed: nothing; scaffold + frozen oracle benchmark established.
+- Result: oracle_tx=830, reachable_tx=515, groups_sent=40, validated_count=29,
+  coverage_pct=62.45. Ground truth real_tx median ≈416 (437/410/400).
+- Insight: the live model realizes only ~half the oracle ceiling and ~80% of
+  reachable; it covers ~25 of 40 sent groups. Both the ceiling (aggregation)
+  and the realization gap (prompt/batching) are open levers.
+- Next: raise max_groups_sent toward 150 (cover all count≥2 groups).
+
+### Run 2: max_groups_sent 40 -> 150 — oracle_tx=1229 (KEEP)
+- Timestamp: 2026-06-13
+- What changed: config/ai_suggestions.php default max_groups_sent 40 -> 150.
+- Result: oracle_tx 830->1229 (+48%), reachable 515->828, groups_sent 150,
+  coverage 92.48%. Tests 24/24 green. Real_tx (3 runs): 711 / 214 / 774,
+  median 711 (baseline 416).
+- Insight: ceiling lift works AND the median real run nearly doubles. BUT the
+  live model is now UNSTABLE on the big single payload — one run returned only
+  9 suggestions (real_tx 214 < baseline). gemini-flash under-enumerates a large
+  structured-output request. The realization axis is now the bottleneck.
+- Next: BATCH the Gemini call (chunk groups into reliable-size requests, merge
+  raw suggestions). Should stabilize + realize the high ceiling. Judge by
+  real_tx (oracle unaffected — same groups/guard).
+
+### Run 3: batch Gemini calls (group_batch_size=40) — real_tx 416->903 (KEEP)
+- Timestamp: 2026-06-13
+- What changed: LaravelAiRuleSuggestionGenerator now array_chunks groups into
+  group_batch_size(40) per-request batches and merges suggestions. New config
+  key ai_suggestions.group_batch_size.
+- Result: oracle_tx unchanged (1229 — bench bypasses generator). real_tx (3
+  runs): 970/903/885, median 903; raw suggestions ~125 stable (was 9..50);
+  validated ~88. Tests 24/24 green, pint clean.
+- Insight: the 150-group instability was purely a single-payload enumeration
+  failure. Smaller batches make the multilingual model reliably enumerate every
+  group. Real coverage 416->903 (+117%), now 68% of all tx and 74% of the oracle
+  ceiling (was 50%). Decision metric here is real_tx (primary oracle unmoved).
+- Next: language-agnostic clustering (per-user token document-frequency noise
+  removal) to merge merchant variants — must NOT hardcode Spanish (pan-EU users).
+
+### Run 4: language-agnostic frequency-based grouping — reachable 828->1027 (KEEP)
+- Timestamp: 2026-06-13
+- What changed: RuleSuggestionAggregator keys descriptions on distinctive
+  (low document-frequency) tokens; drops words in >noise_token_fraction(2%) of
+  tx (language-agnostic, no wordlist); fallback keeps all if all common. New
+  config ai_suggestions.noise_token_fraction.
+- Result: reachable_tx 828->1027 (singletons 499->291), validated 72->115,
+  oracle_tx ~flat (1229->1222, saturated). real_tx (3 runs) 950/900/925 median
+  925 — FLAT vs batching's 903 (mean 919 vs 925). Tests 24/24, pint clean.
+- Insight: clustering raises the realizable ceiling (+199 reachable) but the
+  live model already covered most via good tokens, so real_tx barely moved THIS
+  step. The headroom matters for the next levers. oracle_tx is now saturated
+  near the 1329 total and is a poor primary.
+- Decision: KEEP (language-agnostic per user steer, cleaner groups, +200
+  reachable headroom, no real regression).
+
+### Segment switch (run 5): primary metric -> reachable_tx
+- oracle_tx saturated (~1222/1329); switched the deterministic loop primary to
+  reachable_tx (sensitive to clustering). real_tx stays the milestone ground
+  truth; prompt/batch experiments are judged by real_tx regardless.
+- Segment-1 baseline: reachable_tx=1027, real_tx≈925.
+
+### Run 6: send all groups (min_group_count=1, max_groups_sent=500) — reachable 1329 (KEEP)
+- What changed: config min_group_count 2->1, max_groups_sent 150->500.
+- Result: reachable_tx 1027->1329 (100%), groups_sent 441. real_tx=1124 (84.6%,
+  one clean sample; 2 of 3 sample runs failed operationally — 12 batches/run is
+  slow + fragile, one failed batch lost the whole run). Tests green.
+- Insight: singletons (one-off merchants) ARE realizable — adding them lifted
+  real coverage 925->1124. But high batch counts need resilience.
+
+### Run 7: resilient batched generation — real_tx 1122 reliable (KEEP)
+- What changed: LaravelAiRuleSuggestionGenerator retries each batch once,
+  tolerates partial-batch failures (keeps successful batches), only rethrows if
+  every batch fails. Added 3 generator tests.
+- Result: reachable_tx 1329 (unchanged). real_tx=1122 reproducible (was 1124).
+  Full AI suite 27/27, pint clean.
+- Insight: the run-6 fragility was operational, not a model limit. With
+  resilience the min1/cap500 config reliably lands ~1122 (84%).
+
+### STOPPED by user after run 7.
+
+## Final Result
+- real_tx 416 -> 1122 of 1329 (31% -> 84%) for victoor89@gmail.com.
+- All changes language-agnostic (pan-EU safe): frequency clustering, batching,
+  caps, resilience. No hardcoded wordlists in product code.
+
+## Key Insights
+- `max_groups_sent=40` is the first hard cap: reachable=515 of a possible 830
+  at count≥2. Lifting it is the cheapest ceiling win.
+- Tokens legitimately span multiple groups (same merchant, different noise), so
+  oracle_tx (830) > reachable_tx (515) — token extraction is high-value.
+- Real model is conservative (skips groups). Prompt/batching may matter as much
+  as thresholds, but must be judged by real_tx.
+
+## Next Ideas (not yet tried)
+- Decide the production default: aggressive min1/cap500 (max coverage, ~12
+  Gemini calls/run, one-off rules) vs balanced min2/cap~200 (reachable≈1049,
+  ~5 calls, recurring merchants only). Quantify real_tx for the balanced config.
+- Prompt experiment (real_tx-judged): close the 1122->1329 gap by insisting on
+  exhaustive mapping + multilingual merchant-token extraction.
+- group_batch_size tuning (speed vs enumeration quality).
+- Run batches concurrently to cut wall-clock of the many-batch config.
+- noise_token_fraction sweep (0.015 looked marginally best deterministically).
