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.
## Why
iOS PWAs hand the bank redirect back to the system browser (Safari),
where the app session does not exist. The old `/open-banking/callback`
sat behind `auth` + `verified` middleware, so Safari hit it with no
session → bounced to `/login`, the callback body never ran, and the
connection stayed `pending` forever (4 stale rows observed in prod).
## What
Make the bank connection flow session-independent end to end.
### 1. State-token callback (session-independent)
- `store()` generates `Str::random(40)`, persists it on the connection,
and passes it to `startAuthorization` as `state`.
- `/open-banking/callback` is now **public**. It resolves the connection
from `state_token` (`resolveConnectionFromState`) and derives the owner
from the connection, not the session.
- Connection is finalized server-side (`session_id`, status,
`state_token = NULL`) before any redirect.
- New migration adds the nullable, unique `state_token` column; the
column is hidden on the model.
### 2. Completion page instead of login bounce
When the callback runs without a session (the Safari case), the
connection is already finalized server-side. Instead of bouncing the
user to `/login`, render a standalone "go back to the app" page — their
session lives in the PWA, not here.
- New page `resources/js/pages/open-banking/connection-complete.tsx`
(success / error states, dark mode).
- `finishRedirect()` renders the page when `!Auth::check()`; logged-in
users still get the normal redirect.
### 3. Onboarding: land on the connections step + poll cross-browser
- A logged-in user finishing the flow lands straight on the onboarding
connections step (`?step=create-account`), now resolved server-side via
a validated `initialStep` prop so the step is deterministic.
- While on that step the page polls every 4s (`usePoll`, `only:
['accounts']`), so a connection finalized in another browser (PWA →
Safari) shows up without a manual refresh.
## Flow
```
POST /authorize → stateToken = Str::random(40)
→ startAuthorization(state = stateToken)
→ create BankingConnection(pending, state_token)
EnableBanking → callback?code&state=stateToken (PUBLIC, no session needed)
→ find connection WHERE state_token = state
→ createSession(code) → finalize (session_id, status, state_token = NULL)
→ session present? redirect to connections step / mapping
: render "go back to the app" completion page
PWA (logged in) → onboarding?step=create-account → polls accounts every 4s
```
## Tests
36 passing. Covers:
- state-token persistence and session-less finalization
- owner resolved from the connection regardless of who is authenticated
- completion page rendered (success + error) when no session; login
fallback when no connection resolves
- logged-in user redirected directly to the onboarding connections step
- `?step=create-account` lands on that step; unknown step falls back to
default
## Summary
- hide connected-account plan warning and price after the user chooses
connected setup once
- seed onboarding state from existing connected accounts
- add hook unit coverage and browser coverage for warning/price
visibility
## Tests
- bun run test -- resources/js/hooks/use-onboarding-state.test.tsx
- php artisan test --compact tests/Browser/OnboardingFlowTest.php
--filter="hides the connected plan warning"
- npm run types -- --pretty false 2>&1 | rg
"resources/js/(components/onboarding/step-create-account|hooks/use-onboarding-state|pages/onboarding/index)"
(no onboarding errors; repo has unrelated existing TS errors)
## Problem
Production SSR crashes repeatedly when rendering the Onboarding page:
```
ReferenceError: window is not defined
at Onboarding (/app/bootstrap/ssr/assets/index-BEtdcHXd.js:2295)
```
The `useMemo` reading `?step=` from the URL accessed
`window.location.search` directly, which fails during Inertia SSR.
Observed ~7+ times in production logs between 18:35–21:37 UTC.
## Fix
Add `typeof window === 'undefined'` guard before reading the URL.
Returns `undefined` on the server so the step initializer falls back to
default behavior; client hydration re-runs and reads the URL.
## Related logs
- `Inertia\Ssr\SsrException` — Onboarding page
- Other SSR-touching files (`welcome.tsx`, `auth/login.tsx`) verified
safe (window inside `useEffect` or already guarded).
## Summary
- Adds an intro screen to the categorize transactions onboarding step
that shows before the categorizer UI, explaining that at least 5
transactions must be categorized to continue
- Displays four benefit cards (see where you spend, build better
budgets, spot savings, automate over time) to motivate the user
- Adds missing Spanish translation for \"Back to accounts\" and all new
strings introduced by the intro screen
## 🚪 Why?
### Problem
The onboarding flow had no integration with connected (bank-linked)
accounts. Users who connected a bank via OAuth were redirected to a
separate account-mapping page, breaking the onboarding flow. After
returning, there was no way to resume at the correct step. Additionally,
connected accounts were incorrectly shown in the manual import steps
(import-transactions / import-balances), which don't apply to them.
## 🔑 What?
### Changes
- **Inline bank connect wizard**: Added `ConnectAccountInline` component
that embeds the full 3-step bank OAuth flow within the onboarding
`create-account` step, replacing the redirect to a separate page.
- **Manual / Connected selection UI**: `StepCreateAccount` now presents
a choice between manual and connected account setup before proceeding.
- **Auto-account creation on OAuth callback**:
`AccountMappingController` and `AuthorizationController` auto-create
accounts for non-onboarded users and redirect back to
`/onboarding?step=create-account` instead of showing the mapping UI.
- **`?step=` deep-linking**: The onboarding page reads a `?step=` query
param on mount and starts at that step, so returning from bank OAuth
lands at the right place.
- **Skip import steps for connected accounts**: `handleAccountCreated`
detects `connected: true` and skips `import-transactions` /
`import-balances`, going directly to `category-types` (first account) or
`more-accounts` (subsequent accounts).
- **Fix phantom account in more-accounts**: Connected accounts are no
longer added to `createdAccounts` state (they already appear via
`existingAccounts`), preventing a duplicate nameless entry in the final
account list.
- **Feature flags enabled in non-production**: `open-banking` and
`account-mapping` Pennant flags now resolve to `! app()->isProduction()`
instead of always `false`.
- **Open-banking routes accessible during onboarding**: Removed
`onboarded`/`subscribed` middleware from open-banking routes;
`EnsureOnboardingComplete` middleware explicitly allows `open-banking.*`
routes through.
## ✅ Verification
### Tests
- Updated `tests/Browser/OnboardingFlowTest.php` to reflect new UI
(manual/connected selection).
- Existing feature tests for open-banking controllers pass (pre-existing
failures in Binance/Bitpanda/IndexaCapital/AuthorizationController tests
are from a prior commit unrelated to this work).
### Manual Verification
- Connected account flow tested end-to-end: bank OAuth → auto-account
creation → redirect to `create-account` step → Continue → skip import
steps → `category-types`.
- 7-account BBVA user correctly shows all accounts in `more-accounts`
via `filteredExistingAccounts` with no phantom entry.
- Feature flags confirmed active in local environment via tinker.
## 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
- 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
