The ledger already knew we had ordered from a place; it did not know the
food was bad. Orders got repeated from places we disliked because nobody
remembered by the time the next one went in. That is what the receipt
ingestion was for (ING-9) and the last piece was missing: order_reviews
existed as a table with no API, no UI and no writes.
Four levels, not three. "Loved" and "liked" are both "would order again"
but only one is worth a detour, and "ok" is not a recommendation.
A verdict belongs to a person, not to an order. A shared meal produces
two opinions and they routinely disagree — that disagreement is the
useful part, and the old UNIQUE on transaction_id alone could not hold
it. Now UNIQUE (transaction_id, participant_id), and the default is the
signed-in user rather than the owner: Sonu authenticates through the same
Traefik OAuth as participant 4, so an owner default would have filed her
verdict under his name.
Per-item opinions key on the item DESCRIPTION, not its index. An index is
meaningless across orders; "the Pad Thai here is good" is the signal that
has to survive into the next order from the same merchant. Only the two
poles are offered — a per-item "ok" answers neither of the questions you
ask at order time.
Sharing is recorded as a real 50/50 split, not a decorative flag. The
split already IS the record that an order was shared, and two records of
one fact drift apart.
An ABSENT item_verdicts means "leave them alone"; an empty array clears
them. Without that distinction a note-only save silently wipes every
per-item opinion — the same shape as the bug that reset `settled` on
split rewrites, and just as invisible on screen. Mutation-tested: making
keepItems a no-op fails exactly one test.
mockDbWithPool gained queryRow. Omitting an export from the mock makes it
undefined at the call site, which fails as "not a function" and reads
like a code bug rather than a test-harness gap.
Enrichment is the point of the ingestion pipeline (DECISIONS ING-8) — a bank
statement gives a date, an amount and a mangled descriptor, and everything that
makes a transaction understandable arrives by email. It was all reachable only
by opening the edit modal, which is a strange place to look for "what was in
this order".
Rows with a receipt behind them get a disclosure arrow in the description cell;
clicking expands an inline panel with the line items, the pick-up and drop-off
stops, the card tail and the provider's reference. Several rows can be open at
once — the point is comparing orders without losing your place.
The arrow appears only where `order_platform` is set. Putting one on every
transaction would promise detail that mostly does not exist.
OrderDetails moves out of edit-transaction-modal.tsx into its own component so
both surfaces render the same thing; `bare` drops the modal's top border when
it sits in a table row.
`expense_metadata` has held the itemised receipt since ingestion started and
nothing in the UI ever read it. A transaction that came from a DoorDash or Uber
Eats receipt showed a merchant and an amount, with the item list and the
delivery addresses sitting unread in the row behind it (user, 2026-07-27).
Adds GET /api/transactions/[id]/order and an "Order details" section in the
edit modal: line items with their options, pick-up/delivery stops with times
and addresses, the card tail when one was involved, and the provider's own
order reference.
Two details that matter:
- The lookup resolves from **both** sides — `transaction_id` OR
`matched_transaction_id`. A card-settled order creates no transaction of its
own (I5); the receipt points at the statement line instead. Matching only on
transaction_id would have left the panel blank on exactly the card-paid
orders, which are the ones whose detail is hardest to find elsewhere.
- An empty item list says so in words rather than rendering nothing. Uber
itemises groceries but not restaurant orders, and orders ingested before the
Uber item parser existed have none either — a blank section reads as a bug
when it is usually the receipt.
Read-only. This is what a provider sent; editing it would make provenance mean
nothing.
Apply History listed only counts - '13 matches · 13 transactions' - which reads
identically whether the run renamed a merchant or split every transaction with
another participant. Revert is destructive, so that is not enough to decide on.
Two additions. Migration 0017 records rule_id, rule_name and source on each run:
rule_name is denormalised so history stays readable after a rule is edited or
deleted, and there is no FK so deleting a rule cannot cascade away the audit
trail. Both write paths now populate it - the condition-matched run and the
selection-based quick action.
And rows expand to show the run's snapshot set against current values: which
transactions were touched and what changed on each. Rows changed by something
else since the run are called out, because reverting restores the pre-run value
and would discard that later edit.
Runs recorded before this show 'Unknown rule' - the rule they came from is not
recoverable.
Selecting a rule now shows the transactions it would alter, so a subset can be
ticked and applied rather than trusting a bulk run. The apply step takes explicit
transaction ids (the existing bulk apply_rule path), so what you tick is exactly
what changes - a rule whose conditions are too broad cannot reach further than
the preview showed.
Matches are split into 'would change' and 'already correct'. A merchant
normalisation rule matching 400 rows where 380 already hold the right value is 20
changes and 380 rows of noise; only the 20 are listed.
Preview is offered for every rule including manual_only quick actions, which
previously had no way to see their reach at all. A rule with no conditions
matches every transaction - that is how apply already behaves, so the preview
reports it prominently rather than hiding it.
Applies still snapshot to rule_apply_runs, so they remain revertable.
getPendingReconciliations treated every unreconciled manual transaction as
awaiting a matching statement row. Cash never appears on a statement, so a cash
entry sat in the queue indefinitely being offered matches within 3 days and 1%
on amount - and accepting one is silently destructive: reconciled manual rows
are filtered out of every query, so the cash spend disappears while the card
transaction it matched claims to be that same spend.
Migration 0016 adds transactions.payment_method (card | cash | bank_transfer |
other, NULL = unknown) with a CHECK constraint and a partial index. The notCash()
fragment excludes cash from both halves of the reconciliation query - the pending
list and the candidate match subquery, which aliases the manual row as m.
Only cash is excluded. Bank transfers do appear on a statement now that
transaction accounts are imported, and NULL means unknown, so both stay
candidates and every pre-existing row behaves exactly as before.
ATM withdrawals deliberately stay categorised as spend rather than transfers.
Treating them as transfers is only correct if every cash purchase is logged;
with partial logging it silently deletes the unlogged remainder from spend.
App-wide retheme done at the token layer: Tailwind's zinc scale is remapped
to warm ink/paper neutrals and indigo to copper in globals.css, so every
page inherits the palette. Fraunces (serif display) added for page titles
and hero figures; all figures now render in mono with tabular numerals.
Analytics page redesigned around a month spine — twelve clickable columns
scaled to each month's spend that act as hero, context, and period
navigation. Adds a 'What changed' top-movers panel vs the previous month,
replaces the 8-line category trend chart with per-category sparkline small
multiples, heat-tints the six-month ledger table, and restyles the Pareto,
pace chart, and cashflow strip. Kept: Pareto, cumulative-vs-typical pace,
drill-downs, regular/occasional split.
Insights and Merchants restyled to the same kit; chart tokens centralised
in category-colors.ts (CHART). Cleared the pre-existing lint errors in
insights (typed tooltip, removed any-casts).
Adds trips table usage across API and UI: trip CRUD, per-trip analytics
(category/daily/merchant/tag/participant breakdowns), tag-to-trip
conversion, trip assignment via transaction overrides, and trip filter
in the transactions view. Recovered from working tree after local git
corruption; feature was already live via host-context Docker builds.

Participant id=1 was named "Me" in the DB, causing Sonu and other users
to see "Me" referring to Siddharth when viewing splits and shared expenses.
- Rename participant id=1 from "Me" to "Siddharth" in the DB
- /api/participants now substitutes "Me" for whichever participant matches
the current user, so the label is always relative to the viewer
- split-modal: default split uses currentUser.id instead of name === "Me"
- transactions/page: filter and display logic uses participant ID not name
- shared/page: split chips show "Me" when participant_id === current user
Also includes add-transaction-modal tags support (pre-existing staged change).
