## 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

## 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
- Adds **EnableBanking** as the first open banking provider, allowing
users to connect real bank accounts and automatically sync transactions
and balances
- Uses a **`BankingProviderInterface`** contract so future providers
(Plaid, GoCardless, etc.) can be added by implementing the same
interface
- Feature-flagged behind the **`open-banking`** Pennant flag (default:
off)
- Connected accounts are **unencrypted** and transactions have `source =
'enablebanking'`
### What's included
**Backend:**
- `BankingProviderInterface` contract + `EnableBankingProvider`
implementation (JWT RS256 auth)
- `BankingConnection` model with full lifecycle (pending →
awaiting_mapping → active → expired/revoked/error)
- `TransactionSyncService` — pagination, deduplication by
`external_transaction_id`, amount/date mapping
- `BalanceSyncService` — preferred balance type selection (CLBD → ITAV
fallback)
- Authorization flow: start auth → bank redirect → callback → session
creation → account mapping → sync
- `SyncBankingConnectionJob` (unique per connection, 3 retries) +
scheduled every 6 hours
- `banking:sync` artisan command
- 5 migrations: `banking_connections` table, account fields, transaction
`external_transaction_id`, `pending_accounts_data`, `linked_at`
**Frontend:**
- Manual vs Connected account choice in the create account dialog
- Multi-step bank connection dialog (country → bank selection →
confirmation → redirect)
- Account mapping page — map discovered bank accounts to existing
accounts, create new ones, or skip
- Settings/Connections page with status badges, sync/disconnect actions
- "Connected" badge on linked accounts in settings
**Tests:**
- 49 tests covering feature flags, controllers, account mapping,
transaction sync, balance sync, deduplication, and pagination
### Feature Flags
This PR introduces **two Pennant feature flags**:
1. **`open-banking`** — Gates the entire open banking feature
(institutions endpoint, authorization flow, connections page). When
disabled, all open banking routes return 404.
2. **`account-mapping`** — Controls whether users see an intermediate
account mapping step after connecting a bank. When **enabled**, users
are redirected to a mapping page where they can choose to create new
accounts, link to existing ones, or skip each discovered bank account.
When **disabled**, all discovered accounts are automatically created
(original behavior). Linked accounts only sync transactions from their
last transaction date and only update the current balance from the
provider (no historical balance calculation or daily balance tracking).
Enable per-user:
```bash
php artisan feature:enable open-banking user@example.com
php artisan feature:enable account-mapping user@example.com
```
Enable for all users:
```bash
php artisan feature:enable open-banking all
php artisan feature:enable account-mapping all
```
## Test plan
- [x] Enable feature flag: `php artisan feature:enable open-banking`
- [x] Verify "Connected" option appears in create account dialog
- [x] Start authorization flow and verify redirect to bank
- [x] With `account-mapping` **disabled**: verify callback creates
accounts directly and dispatches sync
- [x] With `account-mapping` **enabled**: verify callback redirects to
mapping page
- [x] Test mapping page: create new, link to existing, and skip actions
- [x] Verify linked accounts sync only from last transaction date and
only update current balance
- [x] Verify connections page shows "Setup Required" badge for
awaiting_mapping status
- [x] Run `php artisan banking:sync` and verify transactions sync
- [x] Verify connections page shows status, sync, and disconnect actions
- [x] Run full test suite: `php artisan test --compact`
