## What
`demo:reset` now bails out early with an info message when
`config('app.demo.enabled')` is falsy, instead of rebuilding the demo
account regardless of the `DEMO_ENABLED` flag.
## Why
The `DEMO_ENABLED` config existed but the command ignored it, so a
scheduled reset would recreate demo data on environments where the demo
account is turned off.
## Why
### Problem
The default income categories lacked coverage for self-employed
individuals (freelancers, contractors, sole traders). Users in this
segment had no accurate category to classify their primary income
source.
## What
### Changes
- Added `Self-Employment Income` income category (icon: `Briefcase`,
color: `green`) to `CreateDefaultCategories::getBaseCategories()`
- Added Spanish translation `Ingresos por trabajo autónomo` to
`getSpanishTranslations()`
- Updated category count assertions in `CategoryTest` from 63 → 64
## Verification
### Tests
- `php artisan test --compact --filter="default categories"` — 2 tests,
7 assertions, all passing
## Summary
- Removed all `setupEncryptionKey()` / `visitWithEncryptionKey()` calls
from browser tests — encryption key setup in localStorage is no longer
needed since new users don't have encryption
- Removed `encryption_salt` from `UserFactory::onboarded()` state and
`OnboardingFlowTest` user creation
- Removed `name_iv` from `Account::factory()` calls in
`BankAccountsTest`
- Deleted `DemoEncryptionService` and its unit test — demo command now
stores plaintext account names and transaction descriptions
- Removed `demoEncryptionKey` Inertia shared prop and `encryption_key`
from demo config
- Removed encryption helper methods from `TestCase.php` and global
`setupEncryptionKey()` from `Pest.php`
## Test plan
- [x] Run `php artisan test --exclude-testsuite=Browser` — all
non-browser tests pass
- [x] Run `php artisan test --testsuite=Browser` — browser tests pass
without encryption key setup
- [x] Run `php artisan demo:reset` — demo account created with plaintext
data
- [x] Verify existing encryption migration tests still pass
(`EncryptionTest`, `DecryptTransactionsTest`,
`PlaintextTransactionsTest`)
## Summary
- Ensure `email_verified_at` is set when the demo account is created or
already exists but is unverified
- `email_verified_at` is not in the User model's `$fillable` array, so
set it directly on the model instead of via `create()`/`update()`
## Test plan
- [x] Added test that an existing unverified demo user gets verified on
`demo:reset`
- [x] Added assertion that newly created demo user has
`email_verified_at` set
- [x] All 3 demo reset tests pass
