## Summary
- Removes the `plaintext-transactions` Pennant feature flag — plaintext
is now the default for all users
- Removes encryption guards and `isPlaintext` conditionals from
transaction create/edit/import flows, keeping only the plaintext code
paths
- Makes `EncryptionKeyButton` conditional — only shown when user has
legacy encrypted accounts or transactions
- Removes encryption onboarding steps (`step-encryption-explained`,
`step-encryption-setup`) and related state/props
- Updates landing page to replace E2E encryption marketing with
privacy-first messaging ("Your Data, Your Rules" section)
- Updates privacy policy to replace E2E encryption claims with accurate
security language (encryption at rest, TLS in transit, no third-party
sharing)
- Cleans up tests to remove feature flag assertions and
`Feature::activate()` calls

## Test plan
- [x] Create a transaction without encryption key unlocked — should
succeed
- [x] EncryptionKeyButton should not appear in header for users with no
encrypted data
- [x] EncryptionKeyButton should appear for users with legacy encrypted
transactions/accounts
- [x] Landing page has no E2E encryption references, shows new privacy
section
- [x] Onboarding flow has no encryption setup steps
- [x] Privacy policy reflects accurate security language
- [x] Frontend builds successfully (`bun run build`)
- [x] All linting passes (`bun run lint`, `vendor/bin/pint --dirty`)
## Summary
- Adds `plaintext-transactions` Pennant feature flag (defaults to
`false` / encryption ON)
- When active, new transactions are stored as plaintext (no client-side
encryption)
- Existing encrypted transactions continue to work — detection is based
on `description_iv` being NULL (plaintext) vs present (encrypted)
- Migration makes `description_iv` nullable on the transactions table
## Changes
**Backend:**
- Feature flag definition in `AppServiceProvider`, shared via
`HandleInertiaRequests`
- `StoreTransactionRequest` / `UpdateTransactionRequest` conditionally
require `description_iv`
- `TransactionFactory` gains a `plaintext()` state
**Frontend:**
- Edit dialog and import drawer skip encryption when flag is active
- `EncryptedTransactionDescription` renders plaintext directly when IV
is null
- All decryption loops handle both encrypted and plaintext transactions
- Rule re-evaluation stores notes as plaintext when flag is active
## Test plan
- [x] Run `php artisan migrate` to apply the migration
- [x] Activate flag: `php artisan feature:enable plaintext-transactions
all`
- [ ] Create a transaction — verify description is stored as plaintext
in DB (`description_iv` is NULL)
- [ ] Deactivate flag: `php artisan feature:disable
plaintext-transactions all`
- [ ] Create a transaction — verify encryption is still required (422
without IV)
- [x] Verify old encrypted transactions still display correctly
- [ ] Run `php artisan test --compact
tests/Feature/PlaintextTransactionsTest.php`
