## Summary
- add creditor/debtor fields to transactions with raw_data backfill
- store counterparties on bank sync and CSV/XLS imports
- add creditor/debtor filters plus hidden table columns
## Tests
- php artisan test --compact tests/Feature/LocalizationTest.php
tests/Feature/OpenBanking/TransactionSyncServiceTest.php
tests/Feature/TransactionFilterTest.php
- npm test -- resources/js/lib/file-parser.test.ts --run
- vendor/bin/pint --dirty --format agent
Note: `npm run types` still has pre-existing unrelated errors; no
creditor/debtor/import-related errors remained in filtered output.

## Problem
Production user reported "inaccurate expenses, some appear multiple
times". DB inspection of their active BNP Paribas Fortis connection
confirmed duplicates growing every sync:
- `-3840` on `2026-05-11` x5
- `-2900` on `2026-05-08` x5
- `-2470` on `2026-05-12` x4
- 56 of 776 rows on the account had `external_transaction_id IS NULL`
- 16 (date, amount) duplicate groups, all with NULL upstream id
## Root cause
`TransactionSyncService::importTransaction()` short-circuited dedup when
both `transaction_id` and `entry_reference` were missing:
```php
$externalId = $data['transaction_id'] ?? $data['entry_reference'] ?? null;
if ($externalId) {
// dedup check
}
// else: fall through, always insert
```
BNP returns no stable id for certain card transactions (`status:
"OTHR"`, `bank_transaction_code.code: "CCRD"`, foreign currency). Every
cron tick (every 6h) re-inserts a fresh copy.
Confirmed with prod data: of 16 NULL-id duplicate groups on this user,
**zero** ever got upgraded to a real id later. BNP simply doesn't issue
one.
## Fix
Deterministic per-transaction fingerprint, persisted in a new column,
protected by a unique index.
- **Migration**: adds `transactions.dedup_fingerprint` (nullable string,
80) and unique index on `(account_id, dedup_fingerprint)`. The unique
index is the real source of truth — it also closes the race between
overlapping sync runs that the prior `exists()` + `create()` pattern
couldn't.
- **`TransactionFingerprint::for($data)`**: two-mode fingerprint. If
`transaction_id` or `entry_reference` exists, the fingerprint is based
only on that canonical upstream id. If no upstream id exists, the
fallback fingerprint uses the prod-verified stable fields:
`booking_date`, amount, currency, credit/debit indicator,
creditor/debtor names + accounts, bank tx codes, reference number, and
remittance info. It intentionally excludes volatile fields (`status`,
`value_date`, raw `transaction_date`). Prefix `fp_` avoids mixing with
bank-issued ids.
- **`TransactionSyncService`**:
- Always computes the fingerprint and writes it on every insert.
- Dedup lookup checks the fingerprint **and** (as a fallback) the legacy
`external_transaction_id` to gracefully handle rows imported before the
backfill runs.
- Wraps the insert in a `try/catch UniqueConstraintViolationException`
so concurrent syncs that pass `exists()` together don't crash.
## Rollout plan
Ship migration + service change → new duplicates stop. Existing
duplicate cleanup is intentionally out of scope for this PR.
## Tradeoff
Two genuinely distinct same-day, same-amount card transactions from the
same merchant on the same card collapse into one (no time-of-day in
raw_data for this BNP class). Today we over-count by 3–5x; after the fix
we may rarely under-count by 1. Acceptable net win, can monitor via logs
if needed.
## Tests
- `tests/Unit/Services/Banking/TransactionFingerprintTest.php` — 4 new
tests covering canonical id behavior and volatile-field exclusion.
- `tests/Feature/OpenBanking/TransactionSyncServiceTest.php` — 3 new
tests:
- Dedupes payloads without an upstream id across consecutive syncs.
- Doesn't crash when a payload arrives later with an upstream id
(bounded behavior).
- Dedupes against soft-deleted fingerprinted rows.
- Targeted suite green locally: **17 passed**.
## Files

- `app/Services/Banking/TransactionFingerprint.php` *(new)*
- `app/Services/Banking/TransactionSyncService.php`
- `app/Models/Transaction.php` (fillable)
- Tests above
## Out of scope
A smaller secondary pattern exists where BNP emitted distinct
`transaction_id`s for the same booking (Feb–Apr only, ~10 groups on the
reporter). Not addressed here because: (a) fingerprint includes
`transaction_id` so different ids = different fingerprints, (b) no
recent occurrences, (c) needs API-level analysis to determine when this
is genuine vs noise.
## Summary
- Adds loan detail tracking (interest rate, term, start date, original
amount) to loan-type accounts, following the existing
`real_estate_details` pattern
- Implements `LoanAmortizationService` with standard amortization math
to automatically project month-to-month balance evolution
- Shows projected future balances as a dashed line on the account
balance chart, visually distinct from historical data
- Adds a scheduled command (`loans:generate-balances`) to auto-generate
monthly balance entries for loan accounts
- Includes 36 tests (10 unit for pure math, 26 feature for CRUD, API
projections, command, and authorization)
## Changes
### Backend
- **Migration**: `loan_details` table (UUID PK, unique `account_id` FK,
interest rate, term, start date, original amount)
- **LoanDetail model** + factory with `Account::loanDetail()` HasOne
relationship
- **LoanAmortizationService**: `calculateMonthlyPayment`,
`calculateRemainingBalance`, `generateProjection`, `projectFromBalance`,
`calculateRemainingMonths`, `getBalanceAtDate`
- **GenerateMonthlyLoanBalances** command: runs monthly on 1st, skips
existing entries
- **LoanDetailController**: PATCH endpoint for editing loan details from
show page
- **Settings\AccountController**: creates/updates `LoanDetail` on
store/update
- **DashboardAnalyticsController**: appends projected data points with
`projected: true` flag
- **Validation**: loan-specific rules in StoreAccountRequest and
UpdateAccountRequest
### Frontend
- **AccountForm**: loan fields (rate, term, start date, original amount)
shown when `type === 'loan'`
- **Create/Edit dialogs**: pass loan data fields in POST/PATCH payloads
- **Show page**: `LoanDetailsCard` component with edit/read modes,
computed monthly payment and remaining months
- **Balance chart**: new `ComposedChart` branch with dashed `Line`
overlay for projected data points
- **Types**: `LoanDetail` interface in `account.ts`
## 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 `Savings` to the list of account types that support invested
amount tracking, alongside `Investment` and `Retirement`
- Decouples `supportsInvestedAmount()` from
`NON_TRANSACTIONAL_ACCOUNT_TYPES` in TypeScript, since savings accounts
are transactional but now also support invested amount tracking
- Updates unit tests to reflect savings accounts supporting invested
amounts
This enables remunerated savings accounts to track invested money vs.
current balance to visualize gains/losses — the same way investment and
pension accounts already do.
## Why
Investment and retirement accounts show balance over time, but there's
no way to see how much money was actually put in versus how much is
current value. Users can't tell at a glance whether their investments
are up or down.
## What
Adds an "invested amount" tracking system across the full stack:
**Backend**
- New `invested_amount` column on `account_balances` (nullable
bigInteger, cents, per-date)
- Auto-sync from providers: Indexa Capital (instruments_cost +
cash_amount), Bitpanda (fiat deposit/withdrawal history), Binance
(90-day windowed deposit/withdrawal with crypto→fiat conversion)
- Manual input support via Update Balance dialog
- Historical invested amount data in all balance evolution APIs (net
worth, account detail)
**Frontend**
- Dashed line on sparkline charts (dashboard + accounts page) showing
per-point historical invested amount alongside balance
- Dashed line on account detail charts (daily AreaChart + monthly
ComposedChart)
- Tooltips with labeled rows: Balance, Invested, Gain/loss (color-coded)
- Invested amount column in balances history modal
- Invested amount field in balance import wizard (CSV mapping)
- Demo account seeder updated with invested amount data

## 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
- Adds a `BankFormatter` interface with a `BbvaFormatter` implementation
that transforms ALL CAPS `//`-separated BBVA descriptions into readable
Title Case (preserving acronyms like SEPA, S.A., BIZUM and Spanish
stopwords)
- Stores the raw description in a new `original_description` column when
formatting changes it, keeping sync matching intact
- Existing non-BBVA banks and null-bank transactions pass through
unchanged
## Test plan
- [x] Unit tests for `BbvaFormatter` (11 tests: title case, acronyms,
stopwords, reference numbers, mixed-case passthrough, whitespace)
- [x] Unit tests for `TransactionDescriptionFormatter` dispatcher (4
tests: BBVA match, no-match, null bank)
- [x] Feature tests for BBVA sync integration (formatted description +
original stored)
- [x] Feature tests for non-BBVA sync (description unchanged, original
null)
- [x] All 25 existing + new tests pass
- [x] Pint formatting clean
