## Summary
- Adds **real estate** as a new account type (`real_estate`) for
tracking property assets within the existing Accounts page
- Properties store metadata (type, address, purchase price/date, area,
notes) in a dedicated `real_estate_details` table with a one-to-one
relationship to accounts
- Properties can be **linked to a loan account** (mortgage) to
implicitly calculate equity — property value counts as asset (+), linked
loan counts as liability (-)
- Market value is tracked as the account balance and uses "market value"
terminology throughout the UI
## What's included
### Backend
- `PropertyType` enum (Residential, Commercial, Land, Vacation, Other)
- `RealEstateDetail` model, factory, migration, policy
- `StoreRealEstateDetailRequest` and `UpdateRealEstateDetailRequest`
form requests
- `RealEstateDetailController` with `update()` for editing property
details
- Extended `Settings\AccountController@store` to create
`RealEstateDetail` when type is `real_estate`
- Extended `AccountController@show` to load real estate detail, linked
loan with bank info, and available loan accounts
- Extended `AccountController@index` SQL ordering to include
`real_estate`
- Conditional validation rules in `StoreAccountRequest` for real estate
fields
### Frontend
- New `real_estate` type in `account.ts` with `PropertyType`,
`AreaUnit`, `RealEstateDetail` interface, and helper functions
- Conditional real estate fields in `account-form.tsx` (property type,
address, purchase price, purchase date, area, linked loan, notes)
- `PropertyDetailsCard` component in `Accounts/Show.tsx` with view and
inline edit modes
- "Update market value" terminology in balance update buttons for real
estate accounts
- `real_estate` added to account type ordering and groups on the Index
page
- Wayfinder routes regenerated
### Tests
- 22 feature tests covering creation, validation, show page, index
ordering, updating details, IDOR protection, model relationships, and
soft delete behavior
- Unit test updates for `AccountType` enum (`reducesNetWorth`,
`isNonTransactional`)
### Translations
- 32 new Spanish translation strings for all real estate UI
## Design decisions
- Real estate accounts are **non-transactional** (like
investment/retirement) — balance-only tracking for now. Future iteration
will link transactions directly for rental income/expense tracking
- **Single loan per property** via direct FK from
`real_estate_details.linked_loan_account_id`
- No encryption on address/notes fields (opted out per discussion)
- No separate sidebar page — real estate is a grouped section within the
existing Accounts page
## Summary
- Adds an optional balance input field to the account creation modal for
**investment**, **loan**, **retirement**, and **savings** account types.
- When a balance is provided, an `AccountBalance` record is created for
today's date upon account creation.
- The balance label adapts to the account type (e.g., "Owed Amount" for
loans, "Balance" for others).
## Changes
- **`account-form.tsx`** — Shows `AmountInput` when a balance-tracking
type is selected and currency is set.
- **`create-account-dialog.tsx`** — Passes `balance` in the POST payload
when present.
- **`StoreAccountRequest.php`** — Adds optional `balance` (nullable
integer) validation.
- **`AccountController::store`** — Creates an `AccountBalance` record
when balance is provided.
- **`AccountTest.php`** — 3 new tests covering creation with balance,
without balance, and invalid balance validation.

## Summary
- Add `GET /api/transactions?encrypted=true` endpoint for paginated
listing of encrypted transactions
- Add `PATCH /api/transactions/bulk` endpoint for batch-updating
decrypted transaction data (max 50 per request, bypasses model events)
- Add `useDecryptTransactions` hook that mirrors the existing account
name decryption flow: fetches encrypted transactions page-by-page,
decrypts `description`/`notes` client-side via Web Crypto API, sends
plaintext back and clears IVs
- Wire the hook into `AppSidebarLayout` so decryption runs automatically
when the user unlocks their encryption key
- Once all transactions (and accounts) are decrypted, the encryption key
button in the header disappears automatically
## Test plan
- [x] 11 Pest tests covering encrypted/plaintext filtering, pagination,
user scoping, bulk update, authorization, validation, nullable notes,
guest access, and no-model-events behavior
- [x] Manual: create encrypted transactions, unlock encryption key,
verify transactions get decrypted and the key button disappears
## 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`
## Summary
- Store account names in plaintext instead of encrypting them
client-side. Encryption remains only for transaction descriptions and
notes.
- Existing encrypted account names are silently migrated when the user
unlocks their encryption key, via a new `useDecryptAccountNames` hook
that calls API endpoints to update each account.
- New `AccountName` component handles rendering both encrypted (legacy)
and plaintext accounts across the app.
## Test plan
- [x] Create a new account — name should be stored in plaintext
(`encrypted = false`, `name_iv = null`)
- [x] Unlock encryption key with existing encrypted accounts — they
should auto-migrate silently
- [x] After migration, verify accounts show `encrypted = false` in DB
and names are readable plaintext
- [x] Edit a migrated account — should work without encryption
- [x] Verify all account name displays work across dashboard, account
details, transactions, settings
