## 🚪 Why?
### Problem
PHPStan was running with a baseline of 56 suppressed errors, meaning
static analysis was not enforcing type safety across a significant
portion of the codebase. These errors were real type mismatches,
redundant null-safety operators, and incorrect PHPDoc annotations that
could mask bugs and make the code harder to reason about.
## 🔑 What?
### Changes
- Add `@property` PHPDoc annotations to `Account`, `BankingConnection`,
`ExchangeRate`, and `Transaction` models so Enum casts and typed columns
are visible to PHPStan
- Add `instanceof User` guards in `ScheduleDripEmailsListener`,
`SyncUserToResendListener`, and `FortifyServiceProvider` to properly
narrow `Authenticatable` to `App\Models\User`
- Remove redundant `?? false` and unnecessary nullsafe `?->value` in
`HandleInertiaRequests`
- Fix `SyncBankingConnectionJob`: use `->name` instead of `?->name` on
an always-loaded `bank` relation
- Remove `is_countable()` guard in `BalanceLookup` (parameter is always
`Collection|array`, both countable)
- Remove `?? []` / `?? default` fallbacks on fully-typed array keys
across `BalanceSyncService`, `BinanceBalanceSyncService`,
`BinanceClient`, `BitpandaBalanceSyncService`, `BitpandaClient`,
`IndexaCapitalClient`, `IndexaCapitalBalanceSyncService`, and
`AuthorizationController`
- Fix `BinanceClient::publicClient()` `retry()` call: use `when:` named
argument and `\Throwable` type hint to match `PendingRequest::retry()`
signature
- Update `IndexaCapitalClient::getPerformance()` `@return` to include
`portfolios` and `net_amounts` keys; simplify sync service to remove
dead null checks
- Replace nullsafe chain with ternary in `BudgetPeriodService`
- Replace `match` statement in `SetupMainUser` with `if/else` to
eliminate always-true comparison
- Clear `phpstan-baseline.neon` entirely (was 56 suppressed errors, now
0)
## ✅ Verification
### Tests
- Existing tests pass: PHPStan level 5 reports 0 errors with empty
baseline
## Summary
- Budget periods use `date` columns (`start_date`, `end_date`) but
queries compared them against `now()` which includes a time component
(e.g. `2026-01-31 15:30:00`). MySQL converts the date to midnight for
comparison, so `end_date >= now()` evaluates to `'2026-01-31 00:00:00'
>= '2026-01-31 15:30:00'` → **false** — causing "No active period" on
the last day of every period.
- Replaced `now()` with `today()` (date-only) in all budget period date
comparisons across `Budget::getCurrentPeriod()`,
`BudgetController::index()`, and `GenerateBudgetPeriods` command.
## Test plan
- [x] Added 4 Pest tests covering the edge case (last day at various
times, first day at end of day, index/show endpoints)
- [x] All existing budget tests pass
## Overview
