## 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
## Overview
We're excited to introduce budgeting capabilities to Whisper Money! This
feature helps you take control of your finances by setting spending
limits and tracking your progress over time.

## What's New
### Create Flexible Budgets
- Set budgets for specific categories or labels
- Choose from monthly, weekly, bi-weekly, or custom periods
- Set your own budget start date for better alignment with your pay
schedule
### Track Your Spending
- Visual spending charts show how much you've spent vs. your budget
- See at a glance which budgets are on track and which need attention
- View all transactions that count toward each budget
### Smart Budget Management
- **Carry Over**: Unused budget amounts automatically roll into the next
period
- **Reset**: Unused amounts return to your available money pool
- Edit or delete budgets anytime as your needs change
### Easy Access
- New Budgets section in the main navigation
- Quick overview cards showing budget status
- Detailed budget pages with spending history and transaction lists
## How It Works
1. Create a budget by selecting a category or label and setting your
spending limit
2. Your transactions are automatically matched to relevant budgets
3. Track your progress with visual charts and spending summaries
4. Adjust your budgets as needed to stay on track with your financial
goals
This feature is now available behind a feature flag and can be enabled
for users who want to start budgeting their expenses.
This PR simplifies the IndexedDB synchronization mechanism by removing
individual sync controllers and services, and instead using Inertia.js
shared props to provide data globally across the application.
## Benefits
1. **Simplified Architecture**: Removed complex sync logic for
static/semi-static data (accounts, categories, banks, labels, automation
rules)
2. **Better Performance**: Data is now shared via Inertia props,
eliminating unnecessary API calls and IndexedDB operations
3. **Reduced Complexity**: Significantly reduced codebase size (~2000
lines removed)
4. **Better UX**: Data is immediately available on page load without
waiting for sync operations
5. **Maintainability**: Fewer moving parts means easier to maintain and
debug
## Migration Notes
- Transaction syncing still uses IndexedDB for offline support
- All other data (accounts, categories, banks, labels, automation rules)
is now fetched via Inertia shared props
- Components automatically receive updated data on navigation without
manual sync operations
## Summary
Add a labeling system for transactions that differs from categories in
that labels are ephemeral and created on-the-fly when assigned (no
pre-creation required). A transaction can have multiple labels
(many-to-many relationship), and labels can be used for filtering in the
transaction table and as actions in automation rules.
