## Problem
Sentry showed two related production issues in the same sync path:
- `PHP-LARAVEL-13`: EnableBanking returned HTTP `400` from `GET
/accounts/{accountId}/transactions` with body `ASPSP_ERROR` / `Error
interacting with ASPSP`. This is an upstream bank/provider failure, but
the app threw an unhandled `RequestException`.
- `PHP-LARAVEL-14`: the same transactions endpoint timed out after 20s,
throwing an unhandled `ConnectionException`.
Both originated from `EnableBankingProvider::getTransactions()` and
bubbled through `SyncBankingConnectionJob`, creating Sentry issues for
expected transient provider/bank outages.
## New behavior
- Wrap EnableBanking `400 ASPSP_ERROR` responses in
`TransientBankingProviderException`.
- Wrap EnableBanking transaction connection failures / timeouts in the
same transient exception.
- Mark that exception as `ShouldntReport`, so these expected upstream
failures stop creating Sentry issues.
- Keep queue retry behavior intact. The job still retries and only marks
the connection as `Error` after normal retry exhaustion.
- Log transient sync failures as warnings instead of errors.
- Show users a retry-later message when retries are exhausted: the bank
provider is temporarily unavailable.
- Leave other `400` responses reportable. Validation / app-side request
bugs still throw `RequestException`.
- Leave auth failures and rate-limit handling unchanged.
Fixes PHP-LARAVEL-13
Fixes PHP-LARAVEL-14
## Testing
- `vendor/bin/pint --dirty --format agent`
- `php artisan test --compact
tests/Feature/OpenBanking/EnableBankingProviderTest.php
tests/Feature/OpenBanking/SyncRetryAndLoggingTest.php
tests/Feature/OpenBanking/SyncBankingConnectionJobTest.php`
## Problem
Production logs show repeated EnableBanking 429s on the same
connections, every cron cycle:
```
[2026-05-04 18:00:55] EnableBanking API error status:429
body: [HUB046] Allowed number of accesses exceeded for consent
[2026-05-04 21:47:12] EnableBanking API error status:429
body: Daily PSU not present consultation limit has been exceeded
[2026-05-05 00:01:41] same connection, same error
[2026-05-05 06:01:41] same connection, same error
```
Root cause: `SyncBankingConnectionJob` returned early on 429s without
persisting any backoff state. The scheduler kept re-dispatching the same
connection on every run, hammering the provider and burning the daily
quota.
## Fix
Persist a per-connection backoff window so the scheduler stops
re-dispatching until the provider quota resets.
- New `rate_limited_until` column on `banking_connections`.
- On 429: derive the window from
1. `Retry-After` header if present,
2. "Daily ..." message → next UTC midnight (matches PSU daily limit
semantics),
3. default 1 hour (consent / generic).
- Job short-circuits with a `Skipped` sync log if the window is still
active.
- Successful sync clears the window.
- `SyncAllBankingConnectionsJob` + `SyncBankingConnections` command
filter out connections still inside their backoff.
## Tests
- Existing rate-limit test updated (now also asserts the backoff is
set).
- New: daily message → next UTC midnight.
- New: `Retry-After` header honoured (1800s).
- New: rate-limited connection skipped without calling provider.
- New: successful sync clears `rate_limited_until`.
- New: scheduler excludes connections whose backoff has not expired.
`php artisan test --compact
--filter="SyncBankingConnectionJobTest|SyncRetryAndLoggingTest|SyncBankingConnectionsCommandTest"`
→ 70 passed.
## Summary
- remove the Pennant-based `open-banking` flag and middleware gating so
open banking is always available for authenticated users
- simplify landing, onboarding, settings, and subscription flows to use
always-on open-banking behavior and remove stale frontend/shared flag
plumbing
- update open-banking tests and purge stored `open-banking` Pennant rows
## Testing
- `php artisan test --compact
tests/Feature/OpenBanking/InstitutionControllerTest.php`
- `php artisan test --compact
tests/Feature/OpenBanking/BinanceControllerTest.php`
- `php artisan test --compact
tests/Feature/OpenBanking/IndexaCapitalControllerTest.php`

## Notes
- `php artisan pennant:purge open-banking` was run to remove stale
stored values
- `php artisan test --compact tests/Browser/OnboardingFlowTest.php`
still has one unrelated real-estate onboarding browser failure (`it
creates a real estate account during onboarding when feature is
enabled`)
## Summary
- Removes the `account-mapping` Pennant feature flag entirely, making
the account mapping flow (pending accounts data + map-accounts page) the
default and only code path
- Removes the old direct-creation branches from all banking controllers
(Authorization, Bitpanda, Binance, IndexaCapital)
- Extracts a shared `CreatesAccountsFromPending` trait for the
onboarding auto-create logic
- Updates all controller tests to reflect the always-on mapping behavior
## Changes
### Backend
- **AppServiceProvider** — removed `account-mapping` flag definition
- **AuthorizationController** — removed flag check +
`createAccountsFromSession()` dead code; always stores
`pending_accounts_data` and redirects to mapping
- **BitpandaController / BinanceController / IndexaCapitalController** —
removed flag checks, old inline account creation, and unused imports
- **HandleInertiaRequests / ActivateDevelopmentFeatures /
ResolvesFeatures** — removed `account-mapping` from flag arrays
- **New `CreatesAccountsFromPending` trait** — shared auto-create logic
for onboarding path (to be consumed next)
### Frontend
- Removed `'account-mapping'` from the TypeScript `Features` interface
### Tests
- Merged flag-specific test variants into single always-on tests
- Removed redundant tests that tested the old disabled-flag code path
- Updated assertions to check `pending_accounts_data` instead of direct
account creation
## Summary
- **Fixes the broken retry mechanism** — after the first failed attempt
set status to `Error`, subsequent retry attempts bailed out because
`isActive()` returns `false` for `Error`. Now both `Active` and `Error`
statuses are syncable.
- **Adds auto-retry across scheduled runs** —
`SyncAllBankingConnectionsJob` and `banking:sync` command now include
`Error` connections where `consecutive_sync_failures < 3` (configurable
via `MAX_SCHEDULED_RETRIES`). After 3 full dispatch cycles, manual
intervention is required.
- **Logs every sync attempt to DB** — new `banking_sync_logs` table
records status (Success/Failed/Skipped), attempt number, error details,
duration, and metadata for each sync.
## Changes
### Core logic (`SyncBankingConnectionJob`)
- `isSyncableStatus()` allows both `Active` and `Error` through the gate
- Temporary errors: status only set to `Error` on the final attempt
(attempt 3); earlier attempts re-throw without changing status
- Permanent auth errors (401/403): `$this->fail()` called immediately,
`consecutive_sync_failures` set beyond the cap
- Rate limit (429): handled silently (existing behavior preserved)
- Every attempt is logged to `banking_sync_logs`
### Query updates
- `SyncAllBankingConnectionsJob`: includes `Error` connections under
retry cap
- `SyncBankingConnections` command: same query update for
`--user`/`--connection` filtered runs
### Controller updates
- `ConnectionController::sync()` and `updateCredentials()` reset
`consecutive_sync_failures` to 0
### New files
- `BankingSyncLogStatus` enum (Success, Failed, Skipped)
- `BankingSyncLog` model
- Two migrations: `add_consecutive_sync_failures` column,
`create_banking_sync_logs` table
### Tests
- Updated 3 existing auth error tests in `SyncBankingConnectionJobTest`
(24 pass)
- Added 17 new tests in `SyncRetryAndLoggingTest` covering retry
behavior, sync logging, scheduled retry inclusion/exclusion, and manual
retry reset
- All 10 `SyncBankingConnectionsCommandTest` tests still pass
