## What & why
Adds a **read-only MCP server** so a paid ("Pro") user can connect
Whisper Money to their own AI assistant (Claude web/desktop, Claude
Code, ChatGPT) and analyse their own finances — spending, cashflow, net
worth, transactions.
This is **Phase 1 (PR1): read-only**. Write tools (create/edit/delete
transactions, categories, labels, rules, balances) are a deliberate
follow-up (PR2); the token plumbing already reserves an `mcp:write`
ability for them.
## How it works
- **Transport:** remote streamable HTTP server via `laravel/mcp`,
mounted at `/mcp` (`routes/ai.php`).
- **Auth:** Sanctum personal access tokens with **MCP-only abilities**
(`mcp:read`). The route is gated by `auth:sanctum` +
`abilities:mcp:read` + `throttle:60,1`, so a future public-API token
(different ability) can't reach it and vice versa.
- **Pro gating** is enforced **per request inside the tools**
(`User::canUseFeature(PlanFeature::McpAccess)`), so a lapsed
subscription stops working on its own without the user revoking the
token. Free users can still create tokens (marked **PRO** in the UI) but
every call returns a "paid plan required" error with an upgrade URL.
- **Consent:** connecting is the consent — a clearly-weighted
data-egress disclaimer + per-client connection instructions on the
settings page. No separate checkbox (by design).
## Tools (all read-only)
| Tool | Scope |
|------|-------|
| `search_transactions` | space-scoped (optional `space`, defaults to
personal) |
| `list_accounts`, `list_categories`, `list_spaces` | space-scoped |
| `spending_by_category`, `get_cashflow`, `get_net_worth` | user's whole
account (reuse existing analytics services/controllers) |
Recurring-charge detection is left to the agent over
`search_transactions` results (no dedicated tool).
## Settings → MCP access
New page to create / rotate / revoke tokens (name + one-time secret
reveal), with `last_used_at`, a PRO badge, the egress disclaimer, and
copy-paste connection instructions for Claude (web/desktop), Claude Code
and ChatGPT.
## Tests
- Tool behaviour + Pro gating + **cross-user / cross-space isolation**
(`tests/Feature/Mcp/McpToolsTest.php`).
- HTTP auth boundary: 401 without a token, 403 without `mcp:read`, 200
with it (`tests/Feature/Mcp/McpEndpointAuthTest.php`).
- Token CRUD + ownership + free-tier creation
(`tests/Feature/Settings/McpTokenTest.php`).
## Reviewed & adjusted
Ran technical + product reviews and applied the fixes: kept PR1 strictly
read-only (dropped a UI scope selector that promised non-existent
write), routed gating through the `PlanFeature` convention, put token
rotation behind a confirmation, removed a silent on-load clipboard copy,
weighted the egress disclaimer, and fixed a `list_spaces` N+1.
### Known, deliberate tradeoffs
- `get_cashflow` / `get_net_worth` / `spending_by_category` reuse the
existing **user-scoped** analytics controllers/services, so they cover
the whole account rather than a single space (documented in the server
instructions). Per-space analytics is a follow-up.
- Space tools scope by `space_id` gated by membership
(`accessibleSpaces`) — the intended shared-tenant model — rather than a
per-row `user_id` filter.
## Not runnable in this environment
Browser QA of the settings page wasn't run here (no local
`node_modules`); that surface relies on CI build/typecheck/lint and
follows existing settings-page conventions.
---
## Updates since opening
- **Behind a feature flag.** New `App\Features\Mcp` (default off) hides
the whole settings screen — the nav item and every `settings/mcp*` route
(404 when off). Pro-plan gating still happens per request. Enable it
with `php artisan feature:enable "App\Features\Mcp" <email|all|25%>`.
- **Renamed** the user-facing page from "MCP access" to **"AI
Connector"** (nav, title, breadcrumb) so non-technical users understand
it. Route names, files and the feature stay internal.
- **Shared `ProBadge`** component (amber), now used on both the AI
Connector and billing pages instead of an inline badge.
- **Softer data-egress notice** (amber shield icon instead of a red
alert) and plainer copy throughout.
- **Accurate connection instructions (important).** Verified against the
official docs: a personal access token works with **Claude Code** today.
**Claude Desktop** and **ChatGPT** custom connectors authenticate over
**OAuth** and do not accept a static token, so they're now marked
**"coming soon"**. OAuth is the real unlock for those clients and is the
recommended follow-up (it also maps to the deferred write-tools work).

[ChatGPT developer
mode](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/developer-mode).
- UI reviewed in a real browser; layout/alignment checked across states
(empty, new-token reveal, token list).
## What
Removes the `AiConsentSettings` Laravel Pennant feature flag. The AI
consent management UI — the toggle in **Billing settings** and the
banner in **Transactions** — is now available to all users
automatically, no longer gated behind the flag.
The underlying AI consent functionality (model, controller, routes,
`User` consent methods) is unchanged; only the gate that hid its UI was
removed.
## Changes
- Delete `app/Features/AiConsentSettings.php`.
- `HandleInertiaRequests`: drop the `aiConsentSettings` shared prop and
its resolution.
- Frontend: render `AiConsentSection` and the transactions consent
banner unconditionally; drop the now-unused `aiConsentSettings` type and
`features` destructuring.
- Tests: remove the two flag-specific assertions in
`AiConsentSettingsTest` (consent-state coverage kept), update
`InertiaSharedDataTest`, and switch `FeatureEnableCommandTest` to
`CalculateBalancesOnImport` as its example feature.
## Testing
- `php artisan test` on the affected suites — 13 passed.
- `vendor/bin/pint`, `bun run format`, `bun run lint` — clean.
## What
A 3-way experiment on how the paid plan is offered, plus per-variant
measurement. New signups (on/after `SUBSCRIPTION_EXPERIMENT_STARTED_AT`)
are split evenly into:
- **control** — current 15-day trial.
- **reduced_trial** — shorter trial: 3 days monthly, 7 days yearly.
- **pay_now** — charged immediately (no trial), with a self-service
money-back guarantee for the first 3 days.
Earlier users stay **legacy** and keep the 15-day trial. **While
`started_at` is null the experiment is off and everyone behaves like
control — inert until activated via env.**
## How it works
- **Assignment** — `App\Features\SubscriptionExperiment` (Pennant),
deterministic even split by a stable hash of the user id. QA can force a
variant with `feature:enable`.
- **Offer policy** — `ExperimentOffer` is the single source of truth for
trial days per plan, the pay-now flag, the refund window and refund
eligibility; shared by checkout, paywall and billing.
- **Checkout** — trial length comes from the variant (`trialDays(0)` for
pay_now → immediate charge).
- **Onboarding clarity** — the paywall states the exact terms above the
CTA: trial length for the selected plan, or "charged €X today + 3-day
money-back guarantee" for pay_now.
- **Self-service refund (pay_now)** — Settings → Billing, within the
window: refunds the upfront charge, `cancelNow`, revokes bank
connections keeping imported data. `refunded_at` records it and blocks a
second refund. Crash-safe ordering: the refund is stamped before
cancel/disconnect, which run best-effort in a try/catch.
## Measurement
`stats:experiment-funnel` (weekly → Discord): per-variant funnel
(assigned, subscribed, status breakdown, refunds) with a **net-active
rate** gated by each variant's decision window (control 15d / reduced 7d
/ pay_now 3d) so cohorts are read at equal age. Attribution reads the
variant Pennant actually served each user, so the report can't drift
from what users experienced. It also reports **MRR** (monthly run-rate
of mature net-active subs, yearly normalised ÷12) and **ARPU** (MRR ÷
assigned) per variant — ARPU is the revenue metric for the winner
decision. Plus a winner can be pinned org-wide with
`SUBSCRIPTION_EXPERIMENT_FORCE_VARIANT` (env, no deploy).
## Config (env)
- `SUBSCRIPTION_EXPERIMENT_STARTED_AT` — activates the experiment
(launch date). Null = off.
- `SUBSCRIPTION_EXPERIMENT_REDUCED_TRIAL_MONTHLY` (3), `..._YEARLY` (7),
`..._REFUND_WINDOW_DAYS` (3)
## Tests
- **Feature/unit:** assignment, offer policy, checkout wiring, refund
eligibility, the refund action incl. idempotency + crash-safe ordering
(Stripe mocked), and the funnel collector/command. ES + FR translations.
- **Browser** (`tests/Browser/SubscriptionRefundTest.php`): the
self-service refund UX end to end — card visibility + deadline, two-step
confirm, back-out, the refund control disappearing after confirming, and
gating (window passed / non-pay_now hidden). The `RefundSelfServe`
action is doubled so it never hits Stripe but applies the same DB
effect. Screenshots: `refund-card-visible`, `refund-confirm-step`,
`refund-completed`.
- Full non-browser suite green (the one failing `DashboardTest` is
pre-existing on `main` — Inertia 409 from the unbuilt local manifest).
Pint + ESLint + tsc (changed files) clean.
## Two independent reviews — acted on
**Fixed:** refund atomicity/idempotency (major) · funnel attribution now
reads Pennant's served value instead of recomputing, killing
report-vs-runtime drift (major) · pay_now copy shows the exact amount
charged · throttle + block-demo on the refund route · `resolve(?User)`
nullable · French translations.
**Reviewer notes (deferred, low value):**
- `refunded_at` is not cast to Carbon on Cashier's `Subscription` (safe
today — only null-compared; would need a custom Cashier model).
- `ExperimentFunnelCollector` walks users in PHP via `chunkById`; fine
at current volume, can move to grouped SQL if it grows.
## Confidence: 85 / 100
The critical money path is now **verified live against the Stripe
sandbox** (see below), which removes the earlier cap. All gates are
green and the acceptance criteria are met. Held at 85 (not higher)
because the browser UI test runs in CI rather than locally, and the
pay_now *hosted-checkout + webhook* leg reuses the standard Cashier
checkout already proven by the control flow (only `trialDays(0)`
differs) but wasn't re-driven through the hosted page. Given it moves
money + disconnects accounts, a human glance is still warranted before
enabling.
## Sandbox verification (live Stripe test mode)
`php artisan stripe:verify-refund` creates a real immediately-charged
subscription with a test card, runs the actual `RefundSelfServe`, and
checks the Stripe API. Result:
```
PASS subscription active after immediate charge (pay_now, no trial)
PASS canSelfRefund is true before refund
PASS latestPayment() resolves a payment intent
PASS refunded_at is stamped
PASS subscription is canceled
PASS canSelfRefund is false after refund
PASS Stripe charge shows a full refund (refunded=true)
```
The command is committed and guarded to Stripe test keys /
non-production, so it can be re-run before each launch toggle.
## Launch checklist
1. Stripe-sandbox smoke: `php artisan stripe:verify-refund` (done —
passing). Optionally also drive the hosted pay_now checkout once for
monthly + yearly to confirm the webhook leg.
2. Set `SUBSCRIPTION_EXPERIMENT_STARTED_AT` to the launch date (set
once; don't backdate).
3. Watch `stats:experiment-funnel`; a clean cohort baseline lands once
each variant's window matures.
## What
Removes the `InteractiveBrokers` Pennant feature flag. The integration
is now always available to every user.
## Changes
- Delete the `App\Features\InteractiveBrokers` flag class.
- Drop the per-user `abort_unless(...->active(...))` gate from
`InteractiveBrokersController`.
- Stop sharing the `interactiveBrokers` flag in Inertia props
(`HandleInertiaRequests`) and remove it from the `Features` type.
- Remove the now-unused `feature` gating mechanism from the
connect-provider registry and `useConnectFlow` — Interactive Brokers was
its only consumer.
- Update tests: drop the "blocked when flag off" case and all flag
activations; the connect dialog now asserts IB is always offered.
The Interactive Brokers integration itself (provider enum, client,
syncer) is untouched.
## Testing
- `php artisan test InteractiveBrokersControllerTest
InertiaSharedDataTest` — 17 passed
- `vitest connect-account-dialog` — 7 passed
- `bun run lint` / `bun run format` — clean
## Summary
Lets existing (non-onboarding) users discover and manage AI
categorization, gated behind a new Pennant feature flag. When a flagged
paid user grants consent, every uncategorized transaction is categorized
in the background with live, on-screen feedback.
Enable per user: `php artisan feature:enable AiConsentSettings
user@example.com`
## What's included
**Feature flag**
- New `AiConsentSettings` Pennant flag (off by default), exposed to the
frontend via the shared `features` prop.
**Billing settings (`/settings/billing`)**
- When the flag is active, a section to grant or revoke AI consent
(checkbox → `POST`/`DELETE /ai/consent`).
**Transactions page**
- A consent prompt rendered as the first row of the transactions table
(new `DataTable` `topRow` slot), styled with the shared gradient
`AiSparkleIcon`. Only shown to paid users with the flag who haven't
consented yet.
- An inline "Enable AI" button records consent without leaving the page.
**Backfill on consent**
- Granting consent dispatches a queued
`CategorizeUncategorizedTransactionsJob` that categorizes all of the
user's uncategorized transactions, **most recent first**, recording
progress in the cache.
- The transactions page polls a new status endpoint (`GET
/ai/categorization/{jobId}/status`): visible uncategorized rows show a
spinner + pulse while the backfill runs, categories stream in via
partial reloads, and a toast tracks `processed / total` until
completion.
## Notes / decisions
- **Polling, not websockets** — the project has no broadcasting
configured; this mirrors the existing `ReEvaluateTransactionRules` job +
status-endpoint pattern.
- The backfill job is kept separate from
`CategorizeOnboardingTransactionsJob` so the onboarding pass stays
progress-free (small, commented duplication).
- Reuses the existing `AiCategorizationGate` (config kill-switch + pro
plan + active consent) — free users and disabled-AI never dispatch the
job.
- Not included (YAGNI): cancelling an in-flight backfill on revoke;
persisting the spinner across full page reloads.
## Testing
- New Pest coverage: feature-flag exposure, billing/transactions consent
props, consent-triggered dispatch + gating, the status endpoint
(200/404), job progress recording, and recent-first ordering.
- `php artisan test --exclude-testsuite=Browser` passes (one unrelated,
pre-existing `DashboardTest` failure on `main`).
- Pint, Prettier and ESLint clean.
## What
Adds **Interactive Brokers** as a banking sync provider (investment
account, balances only), mirroring the Indexa Capital integration.
It uses the **Flex Web Service** rather than IBKR's Web API: the Web API
requires registering as an IBKR third party (business entity, Compliance
approval, RSA-signed OAuth, ~3-5 weeks), which is overkill for read-only
balance sync. Flex is a read-only token + Query ID model that fits our
existing API-key provider shape.
### How the sync works
- The user creates an Activity Flex Query (NAV + Open Positions) and a
Flex Web Service token in their IBKR Client Portal, then pastes both.
- Client flow: `SendRequest` → reference code → poll `GetStatement` →
parse the XML statement.
- Mapping: `EquitySummaryByReportDateInBase@total` → `balance` (daily
rows give historical backfill on first sync); `Σ(OpenPosition
costBasisMoney × fxRateToBase) + cash` → `invested_amount`, so **profit
derives as `balance − invested_amount`** (unrealized P&L), like Indexa
Capital. Everything is already in base currency, so no FX conversion is
needed.
- One statement covers every account, so the syncer fetches once per
connection to respect IB's per-query rate limit.
- IB returns HTTP 200 with an error XML, so the client translates Flex
error codes into the exceptions the sync job already understands:
`RequestException(401)` for token problems, `RequestException(429)` for
throttling, `TransientBankingProviderException` otherwise.
### Connect flow
- New connect/update-credentials endpoints validate the credentials by
pulling a statement, then build pending accounts from it.
- Credentials reuse the encrypted `api_token` (Flex token) and
`api_secret` (Flex Query ID) columns — **no migration**.
- The IB option (two fields) is added to the connect dialog, inline
connect flow, and update-credentials dialog, with Spanish translations.
## Feature flag (why this is a draft)
Gated behind a Pennant feature `App\Features\InteractiveBrokers` (off by
default). It was built against documented/open-source Flex XML fixtures,
**not a live IBKR account** (we don't have one). Before enabling,
validate against a real account (beta tester or a free IBKR account):
```
php artisan feature:enable InteractiveBrokers user@example.com
```
If the parser needs tweaks against real XML, they should be minor
(field-name level).
## Tests
- Client + balance sync: NAV → balance, invested/profit, daily backfill,
since-date incremental, multi-account, GetStatement polling, token-401 /
rate-limit-429 mapping.
- Controller: feature-flag gate (403), valid/invalid credentials,
subscription gate, onboarding auto-create, validation.
- Factory wiring, enum cases, job-level sync, feature-flag visibility
(vitest).
- Spanish translations added (enforced by `LocalizationTest`).
All green: `pint --test`, `phpstan`, OpenBanking + localization suite,
vitest.
## Summary
Removes the `TransactionAnalysis` Pennant feature flag and all its
gating. After this PR the transaction analysis feature (analysis drawer
+ saved filters) is available to every user.
## Changes
- Delete `app/Features/TransactionAnalysis.php`.
- `TransactionAnalysisController` — drop the `abort_unless(...403)` flag
gate and Pennant imports.
- `HandleInertiaRequests` — stop sharing the `transactionAnalysis` flag
in Inertia props.
- `Features` TS type — remove the `transactionAnalysis` field.
- `transaction-actions-menu.tsx` / `transaction-filters.tsx` — remove
the `features.transactionAnalysis &&` gates so the Analysis button, the
analysis drawer, and saved filters always render.
- Tests updated: dropped the endpoint-gating test and the "hidden when
flag off" UI test; adjusted shared-flag expectations.
## Verification
- `./vendor/bin/pest` — 23 passed (affected suites)
- Vitest — affected component/page tests pass
- Pint, Prettier, ESLint clean
## Notes
- The orphaned value left in Pennant's `features` DB table is harmless
and not addressed here.
## Summary
Removes the `ManageBankAccounts` Pennant feature flag that gated the
per-connection "Manage Accounts" surface to the admin user, making the
flow available to all users.
## Changes
- Delete the `App\Features\ManageBankAccounts` feature class.
- `ConnectionAccountController`: drop the `ensureFeatureEnabled()` gate
(3 call sites + method) and the `Feature`/`ManageBankAccounts` imports.
Access stays guarded by `authorizeConnection()` (connection ownership).
- `HandleInertiaRequests`: stop sharing the `manageBankAccounts` Inertia
flag.
- Frontend: remove the flag from the `Features` type, the
`features.manageBankAccounts` conditional in `connections.tsx` (now
gated solely by `canManageAccounts`), and the now-unused `features`
destructure.
- Tests: update `InertiaSharedDataTest` and the `connections.test.tsx`
mock; simplify the `adminUser()` helper to `onboardedUser()` in
`ConnectionAccountTest` and remove the "forbidden when feature disabled"
test.
## Testing
- `vendor/bin/pint --dirty` — pass
- `php artisan test tests/Feature/OpenBanking/ConnectionAccountTest.php
tests/Feature/InertiaSharedDataTest.php` — 17 passed
- `bunx vitest run resources/js/pages/settings/connections.test.tsx` —
pass
- `bun run lint` / `bun run format` — clean
## What
Two related changes to the AI auto-categorization feature.
### 1. Open the gate to pro + consent (drop the new-signups-only cohort)
Eligibility for AI auto-categorization was: kill switch **+ pro plan +
active AI consent + a Pennant rollout flag** that only resolved for
users created after `ai_categorization.rollout_after`. That last cohort
gate limited the feature to a handful of recent signups (6 eligible
users in prod).
The gate is now just **kill switch + pro plan + active AI consent**, so
every consented pro user is eligible regardless of signup date.
- `allows()` and `allowsBackfill()` became identical and collapse into a
single `allows()`; `CategorizeBackfillCommand` calls it.
- The `AiCategorization` Pennant feature and the
`ai_categorization.rollout_after` config are now dead and removed. The
weekly cohort report already derives its release marker from the first
`ai_consents.accepted_at`, so nothing depends on the config.
> Note: the `AI_CATEGORIZATION_ROLLOUT_AFTER` env var must be removed
from the production environment — it is no longer read.
### 2. Nudge free users that AI could categorize their transactions
Free-plan users now see a subtle AI sparkle on uncategorized rows,
reusing the trailing icon slot already in `CategoryCell` (no layout
change). It only shows when subscriptions are enforced and the user is
not pro; clicking it routes to `/settings/billing`.
To keep it subtle, the sparkle is sampled to a share of rows via a
deterministic function of the transaction id (its last byte mapped onto
a 0-100 threshold), so the same rows decide the same way across reloads
instead of flickering or marking every row.
The share is **configurable** via `ai_categorization.upsell_sample_rate`
(env `AI_CATEGORIZATION_UPSELL_SAMPLE_RATE`, default 40), exposed to the
frontend as the `aiCategorizationUpsellRate` Inertia prop — no rebuild
needed to retune it.
## Tests
- PHP: `AiCategorizationGateTest` updated (rollout case dropped);
job/listener tests no longer activate the removed feature.
- JS: `ai-upsell-sample.test.ts` covers determinism, the 0/100 bounds,
the threshold boundary, and the per-rate split.
- Manually verified in-app (Playwright): nudge renders for a free,
consented, bankless user; rate matches config.
## Follow-ups (not in this PR)
- Remove the `AI_CATEGORIZATION_ROLLOUT_AFTER` prod env var.
- Backfilling existing pro+consent users' history still requires running
`ai:categorize-backfill {user}`.
- The nudge only reaches free users who pass the paywall (no bank
connection + paywall already seen); free users with a bank connection
never reach `/transactions`. Consider surfacing it on the paywall too.
## Why
During the bank connection flow (Enable Banking) a user picks which
accounts to sync and can skip the rest. Until now there was **no way
back**: a skipped account couldn't be enabled later, a synced account
couldn't be moved or turned off, and accounts the bank added afterwards
were invisible. Skipped accounts aren't persisted anywhere —
`pending_accounts_data` is cleared once mapping completes — so the app
simply forgets they exist.
This adds a per-connection **Manage Accounts** screen that closes that
gap.
## What
- **Known accounts render from the DB** (no provider call). For each
synced account the user can:
- **Stop syncing** → the account is unlinked and becomes a regular
manual account. Non-destructive: it keeps all its imported transactions.
- **Change destination** → move syncing to another compatible manual
account (unlinks the previous holder, links the new one with incremental
sync).
- **Load accounts** button re-fetches the consent's account list from
the provider *on demand* (`getSession` + `getAccount` only for uids we
don't already know) to surface newly available / previously skipped
accounts, which can then be created as new accounts or linked to
existing manual ones.
- The provider is **only ever hit on refresh**; every mutation is
DB-only, so the screen still works (read + rearrange) when the consent
has expired.
### Design notes
- No new column / cache: the default view derives entirely from the
`accounts` table, and refresh is on-demand and ephemeral. Re-fetching is
mandatory anyway (existing connections have no stored snapshot, and only
a live call can reveal accounts the bank added later).
- Scoped to **Enable Banking** for now; the approach is column-free so
extending to the crypto/API-key providers later is trivial.
## Endpoints
- `GET open-banking/connections/{connection}/accounts` — manage screen
(`discoveredAccounts` computed only when `?refresh=1`)
- `POST open-banking/connections/{connection}/accounts/map` — create /
link / change destination for one bank account
- `POST open-banking/connections/{connection}/accounts/{account}/unlink`
— stop syncing
## Testing
- New `ConnectionAccountTest` (7 tests): index props, refresh discovery
(excludes already-synced uids), create,
change-destination/unlink-previous, non-destructive unlink keeps
transactions, ownership 403, account-mismatch 404.
- Full `tests/Feature/OpenBanking` suite green (268), plus pint, eslint,
prettier and the enforced `es` localization test.
## Deliberately skipped
- **Subscription gating** on refresh/map — matches the currently ungated
`disconnect`. Easy follow-up if free users shouldn't trigger live
provider calls.
- Other providers (Enable Banking only, as agreed).
## What
Auto-categorizes transactions with AI (Gemini) for **pro +
AI-consented** users when no automation rule already matched. Ships the
full backend **behind a Pennant flag, off by default**, so it's
mergeable and testable in isolation; the UI is a deliberate follow-up.
## Why / cost
Prod check first: ~20k txns/month, **~52% of pro-user transactions are
uncategorized** after rules. At Gemini Flash-Lite rates the cost is a
**rounding error** — ~$0.13–$0.75/month for all pro users, single-digit
dollars even on full Flash. So the model is chosen for accuracy, not
price; the real constraints are trust, accuracy and privacy.
## How it works
**Two tiers** (every transaction is covered, rules are an optimization
on top):
- **Tier 1 – label** — a queued listener runs *after* the synchronous
rules; if still uncategorized and the user is eligible, the model picks
a **leaf** category (referenced by numeric index, never a UUID, so it
can't hallucinate one). Auto-applied only above the **label bar**
(`0.7`); below → left blank, no nag. Tagged `category_source = ai` +
`ai_confidence`, fully reversible.
- **Tier 2 – learn** — above the higher **rule bar** (`0.85`) *and* a
clean merchant key *and* the model flags the merchant unambiguous → the
merchant is appended to a single **ai-owned** automation rule for that
category (OR'd conditions, not rule-sprawl), so future transactions
match for free and consistently. AI rules sit at the lowest priority;
**user-owned rules are never touched**.
**Self-heal + signal** — when a user overrides an AI category, a
`category_correction` is logged (calibration signal, bucketable by
confidence) and the offending merchant condition is dropped from the ai
rule (deleted if empty). User rules and manual categories are untouched.
**Safety** — config kill switch + pro + active consent + gradual Pennant
rollout. Dedicated `ai` queue so Gemini never blocks bank syncs.
Encrypted (client-side) transactions are never sent.
**Backfill** — `ai:categorize-backfill {user}`, explicit opt-in,
batched, learns rules as it goes.
## Data model
- `transactions`: `category_source`, `ai_confidence`,
`categorized_by_rule_id`
- `automation_rules`: `origin` (`user`/`ai`)
- new `category_corrections` table

/>
## What
Adds **saved filters** on the transactions page so users can name a set
of filters and reuse them later. The whole feature is gated behind a new
\`transaction-analysis\` Pennant feature flag (off by default).
## Why
Reusing the same filter combinations (e.g. "Japan trip", "Utilities") is
currently manual every time. This ports the saved-filters work from the
\`analysis-page\` branch, scoped down to **only** the transactions page
— the analysis screen and unrelated query changes from that branch are
intentionally left out.
## Changes
**Feature flag**
- \`App\Features\TransactionAnalysis\` — class-based flag, resolves
\`false\` by default.
- Shared to the frontend as \`features.transactionAnalysis\` and added
to the \`Features\` type.
**Backend (saved filters)**
- \`SavedFilter\` model (UUID, \`filters\` json cast, user belongsTo) +
migration + factory.
- \`Api\SavedFilterController\` — user-scoped index/store/update/destroy
under \`/api/saved-filters\`, ownership enforced with \`abort_unless\`.
- \`StoreSavedFilterRequest\` / \`UpdateSavedFilterRequest\` — name
unique per user, snake_case filter rules.
**Frontend**
- \`transaction-filter-serialization.ts\` —
serialize/deserialize/fingerprint between UI filter state and the
persisted snake_case shape.
- \`SavedFilters\` dropdown — load/save/update/delete with active +
dirty indicators.
- Integrated into the filter bar via an opt-in \`enableSavedFilters\`
prop, so it renders **only** on the transactions page (budgets/accounts
reuse the same component and stay unchanged). Render is also gated by
the feature flag.
**Filter bar UX**
- Split search + filters + saved searches onto their own row, separate
from the actions row (Categorize / Add transactions / columns), which
were getting cramped.
- On mobile, the text search moves into the filters popover.
## Reviewer notes
- Backend endpoints are **not** flag-gated; only the UI is, per the
request.
- Two-layer scoping: page opt-in prop **and** feature flag — flag off
means no UI anywhere.
- Translation keys fall back to the key (English); \`es.json\` entries
not added, matching the source branch.
## Testing
- \`tests/Feature/SavedFilterTest.php\` — 9 passing (auth, per-user
listing/uniqueness, ownership on update/delete).
- Pint, Prettier, ESLint clean. No new TypeScript errors introduced.
## Summary
Removes the `CategoryTree` Pennant feature flag so the parent/child
category tree UI is active for all existing and new users.
## Changes
- Delete `app/Features/CategoryTree.php` (flag resolved `false`).
- `CategoryController` — drop `Feature`/`CategoryTreeFeature` imports
and the `categoryTreeEnabled` Inertia prop.
- `parent-category-field.tsx` — remove the `usePage` flag read and `if
(!enabled) return null` gate; the parent field now always renders.
## Testing
- `vendor/bin/pint --dirty` — pass
- `bun run lint` — clean (1 pre-existing unrelated warning in
`chart.tsx`)
- `php artisan test tests/Feature/Settings/CategoryTreeTest.php` — 11
passed
- `php artisan test tests/Feature/Settings/CategoryTest.php` — 32 passed
## Summary
Adds nested categories (parent → child, up to **3 levels**) across the
app. Children inherit their parent's type and cashflow direction, and
every category selector now renders the hierarchy as an indented tree.
Gated behind the `CategoryTree` Pennant flag (off by default).
## Backend
- **Migration**: nullable self-referencing `parent_id`; uniqueness
scoped per-parent via a `parent_unique_marker` virtual column (root
names stay unique). New composite unique created before dropping the old
one so the `user_id` FK keeps a supporting index.
- **`CategoryTree` service**: descendant/ancestor resolution, depth &
cycle checks, type cascade, subtree deletion.
- **Validation**: depth limit, cycle prevention, inherited + locked
child type.
- **Delete strategies**: reparent (default), promote to root, or cascade
(uncategorizes affected transactions).
- **Transaction filter** expands a selected parent to its descendants.
- **Cashflow Sankey & breakdown** roll up to top-level parents with
click-to-drill (children + a parent "direct" node).
- **Budgets** tracking a parent also count their children's
transactions.
- **Unified** the frontend category query behind
`Category::forDisplay()` / `FRONTEND_COLUMNS` (8 call sites) so every
selector receives the full Category shape, including `parent_id`.
## Frontend
- New `category-tree.ts` helpers (build/flatten/descendants/path,
tree-aware selection toggle + tri-state).
- **Settings page**: indented tree, sortable by name/color/type
(siblings sorted, hierarchy preserved), parent picker, delete-strategy
dialog.
- **Combobox** (transaction table cell + edit/create modal + parent
picker): indented tree, search keeps matches with their ancestors.
- **Transaction filter**: indented tree, tri-state cascading selection
(parent ↔ children), themed checkboxes, selected branches float to top
on open, ancestor-aware search.
- **Categorizer palette** and **budget multi-select**: same indented
tree + ancestor-aware search.
- **Sankey**: click a parent node to drill into its children, with
breadcrumb.
- Pennant `CategoryTree` flag gates the parent UI.
## Tests
- Pest: model/validation, delete strategies, filter expansion, cashflow
rollup/drill, budget child inclusion.
- Vitest: tree-aware selection logic.
- All green; Pint / ESLint / Prettier clean.
## Rollout
Flag is off by default — enable per user with:
\`\`\`
php artisan feature:enable "App\\Features\\CategoryTree" you@example.com
\`\`\`
## Why
Some banks return transactions without a balance column. The CSV/Excel
importer happily creates the transactions but leaves the account without
any balance history, making the account look incomplete.
## What
Opt-in flow that derives per-day balances from the transactions
themselves, using a single reference point (the balance on the date of
the latest transaction).
### Mapping step
- New checkbox **"Calculate balances from transactions"** next to the
Balance column select.
- Available only when no balance column is mapped (disabled + visually
faded otherwise).
- When checked, a balance input appears labeled with the latest
transaction date using a relative format:
- `Today`
- `Yesterday`
- `Monday, 3 of Jun`
- If an `AccountBalance` already exists for that date, it is pre-filled
automatically (no need to ask) with a small hint.
- The reference balance is **mandatory** when the checkbox is checked;
the Next button is disabled until it is provided.
### Preview step
- A new `Balance` column shows the balance about to be created for each
date, regardless of whether it came from the file or was calculated.
### Persistence
- Balances are computed by walking backwards across distinct transaction
dates and subtracting each day's net movement.
- They flow through the existing import path that POSTs to
`AccountBalanceController@store`, so no new endpoint was needed.
## Feature flag
Hidden behind a new Pennant feature, **off by default**:
```bash
php artisan feature:enable CalculateBalancesOnImport user@example.com
# or
php artisan feature:enable CalculateBalancesOnImport all
```
The flag is exposed to the frontend via Inertia shared props
(`features.calculateBalancesOnImport`).
## Tests
- New vitest cases for `getLatestTransactionDate` and
`calculateBalancesFromTransactions` (sparse dates, reference date
without txns, empty list).
- `LocalizationTest` passes (new ES strings added).
- Full vitest suite green (106 tests).
## Summary
- remove CoinbaseIntegration Pennant feature flag
- always show Coinbase in open banking institution picker
- drop shared Coinbase feature flag type
## Tests
- vendor/bin/pint --dirty --format agent
- php artisan test --compact tests/Feature/InertiaSharedDataTest.php
- php artisan test --compact
tests/Feature/OpenBanking/CoinbaseControllerTest.php
- npx eslint
resources/js/components/open-banking/connect-account-inline.tsx
resources/js/components/open-banking/connect-account-dialog.tsx
resources/js/types/index.d.ts
Note: npm run types still fails on existing project-wide Wayfinder/type
issues.
