## What
The transactions AI consent banner now lets users decline, tells them
the outcome, and stops appearing once they've decided.
- **Dismiss option**: an X button before "Enable AI" permanently hides
the banner without granting consent.
- **Show only until the first decision**: the choice is persisted on
`users.ai_consent_prompt_dismissed_at` (set on both accept and dismiss).
The banner shows only while the user hasn't responded and never
reappears afterwards — even if they later revoke consent from settings.
- **Clear feedback**: accepting or dismissing shows a toast stating
whether AI was enabled and that the choice can be changed anytime in
**Settings > Manage Plan**.
- **Full-width layout on desktop**: the banner content spans the full
available width (button pushed to the right, text on a single line). The
narrow stacked layout is kept for mobile only.
## How
- New `POST ai/consent/dismiss` endpoint
(`AiConsentController::dismiss`).
- `User::dismissAiConsentPrompt()` (idempotent) +
`hasDismissedAiConsentPrompt()`; `store` now also marks the prompt
dismissed on accept.
- Migration adds the nullable `ai_consent_prompt_dismissed_at`
timestamp.
- `TransactionController` passes `aiConsentPromptDismissed` to the page.
## Tests
- `AiConsentTest`: idempotent dismissal, dismissal without consent, and
accept marking the prompt dismissed.
- Full consent + backfill suite and the `create a transaction` browser
test pass; pint / lint / 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.
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.
