Local rides are paid with credits (only overseas ones go on a card), so trips
belong to this slice and were simply never fetched — the Graph query searched
"order with Uber", the Eats subject. Captured 15 real messages from the mailbox
via a dry-run before touching anything, which found two defects that no amount
of reasoning about the template would have:
**Uber sends two mails per trip.** A "charge summary" when the ride ends, then
the real receipt when payment settles — same subject, same total. The summary
carries no tripReference, so order_reference fell back to `msg:<message-id>`
and I7 could not dedupe it against the receipt that follows. Every trip would
have been recorded twice. It says so itself ("This is not a payment receipt ...
You will receive a trip receipt when the payment is processed"), so it is now a
NotAReceiptError — 200 and silent, like every other expected non-receipt.
**Trip receipts label neither end of the journey.** Delivery receipts write
"1:20 pm - Pick-up"; trips print the time alone. The split regex put the time
into `label` and left `time` null. Time is now read properly, and a two-stop
trip is labelled Pick-up/Drop-off positionally — only where the receipt was
silent, so a template that does label its stops keeps its own wording.
Verified against all 15 captured messages: 7 trips recorded, 5 charge summaries
and 3 promotions skipped, 0 failures, no duplicate references. Two of the seven
are AUD credits-funded ($84.78 + $47.97) and would become transactions; the
five NZD ones are card-settled and correctly create provenance only (I5).
Fixtures ut-00 (local credits trip), ut-01 (overseas card trip) and ut-summary
(the charge summary) are captured mail, not written by hand.
These tests insert a Westpac statement and a `DD *DOORDASH ...` charge, and
only removed them at the end of the test — so they survived into the next run,
where `reconcileCardLeg` could match one at ingest time and resolve an order
that was meant to park `awaiting_card_statement`.
That is a real ordering bug in the fixtures regardless. It is my best
explanation for the intermittent failure in "parks an unresolvable split",
but I could not reproduce it: seeding the exact leftover row and running the
old code passed anyway. So this is hygiene with a plausible mechanism, not a
confirmed fix — if that test fails again, this was not the cause.
`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.
Four things the view could not tell you, all from reading the rows (user,
2026-07-27).
**Which platform.** The parser has always known — it has to, to read the
template — and then discarded it. "Order - Burger Corner" gives no way to know
whether to open DoorDash or Uber Eats for the detail, and restaurants exist on
both. Now stored on expense_metadata and named in the description:
"Order - Burger Corner (Uber Eats)". Migration 0021 recovers it for the 101
backfilled rows from the order_reference shape — DoorDash receipts carry no id
of their own so ingestion synthesises `msg:<message-id>`, Uber carries a real
trip UUID, which makes the discriminator exact.
**Bank said "Manual".** That label is derived, not stored, and "Manual" reads
as "hand-entered, still awaiting a card line to match". A gift-card order has
no card line coming, ever. It now reads "Gift Card", and — the part that
actually mattered — credits joins cash in needsCardMatch(), so these stop
sitting in the pending-reconciliation queue. All 81 were queued against a match
that could not exist.
**Uber line items were never parsed.** 67 of 101 orders had none. Uber itemises
groceries but not restaurant orders, so some of that is genuine; the rest was
simply unread. Its markup is better than DoorDash's — every cell carries a
data-testid with the item's uuid, so qty/title/amount bind by id rather than by
column position. Sold-out items (0.00) are kept: they are why a total is lower
than what was ordered.
**Uber prints pick-up and delivery addresses on every receipt** and they were
thrown away. Captured as `route` [{label, time, address}], de-duplicated
because the template renders the whole block twice for narrow screens. Wording
is kept as printed ("Pick-up" on some receipts, "Pickup" on others) rather than
normalised, so a template change stays visible. This is the same block a *trip*
receipt uses for start and destination — rides are not ingested today, but the
reader will not need changing when they are.
Also stores source_email_subject/from, which order ingestion had left null on
columns that already existed.
Verified against the captured corpus: route on all 6 Uber fixtures, 5/5 items
on the GLOMARK grocery receipt including the sold-out one. Production data
updated by smarthome:docker/scripts/order-presentation-2026-07-27.sql
(81 descriptions, `backfill` tag, re-run clean). `route` and Uber line items
are parsed from here on only — recovering them for already-ingested orders
means re-reading the mail, which I7 idempotency refuses by design.
Both were found by looking at the data after the live backfill, not by the
suite — 105 tests were green while 85 rows were invisible and 4 were double
counted.
owner_id was NULL on every ingested order. Analytics scope on
COALESCE(t.owner_id, s.owner_id), and an ingested order carries no statement,
so the coalesce resolved to NULL and matched no owner. The rows existed in
`transactions` and appeared in no view in the app. Ingestion now sets
DEFAULT_OWNER_ID, and a regression test asserts the row survives the same
COALESCE scoping the UI uses.
[Family] orders are card-settled, not credits-funded. Their receipts name the
payer ("Payments Siddharth LKR 3,783.20") and no instrument, which an earlier
version read as credits. The card statement carries all four of them (CBA
...3893, exact foreign_currency_amount matches), so creating a transaction
duplicated spend already recorded — the double-count I5 exists to prevent.
They now record provenance only; the statement line is the transaction and is
what carries the `family` tag that keeps them out of budgets.
Production data corrected separately by
smarthome:docker/scripts/fix-order-backfill-2026-07-27.sql.
Also: reconciliation tests no longer assert global row counts.
reconcilePendingOrders() scans every pending row, so leftovers from other
files moved the totals — the source of an intermittent failure that only
appeared on the first run after a source edit.
None of these were caught by 105 green tests, because the code they live in was
barely tested and the HTTP path was not tested at all.
1. reconcilePendingOrders hardcoded category 'dining', so any order resolved
through the deferred path booked as dining regardless of merchant — a
Woolworths grocery order that parks and later reconciles was misfiled.
That reintroduced, through the back door, exactly the misfiling
resolveCategory() exists to prevent. Now calls it.
2. reconcileCardLeg never marked a statement line as consumed, so two orders on
the same card inside the +/-4 day window both bound to the same charge and
each booked its own credits remainder — double-counting spend. At 10-15
orders a month on one card that is not a corner case. Migration 0020 adds
matched_transaction_id with a unique index; the matcher now excludes lines
already claimed.
3. The ingest API returned HTTP 200 for every parse failure, and the Slack
alert fires only on non-200. So the single most likely production failure —
a provider template change breaking every order at once — was completely
silent. Split into NotAReceiptError (promotions, delivery updates, refund
and adjustment notices: 200, silent, expected traffic) and OrderParseError
(it IS a receipt and would not parse: 422, alerts).
Also: order_reference now anchors on Uber's own tripReference cell rather than
'first UUID in the document'. I had claimed to verify that the first UUID was
always the order UUID; that check compared against zero samples and was
vacuous. tripReference is present in all 29 captured receipts and, for ue-00,
equals the UUID the PDF redirect resolves to. The positional fallback remains
but only flags when there is genuine ambiguity.
Adds the API route's first tests — auth gate and error taxonomy — plus
anchoring regressions. 63 unit + 53 integration green on five consecutive runs;
corpus holds at 63/65.
Closes the three gaps left after the parser rebuild.
Refund amendments. ue-05 is a real refund: 'Previous total $49.94 / Refund
-$4.21 / New Total $45.73'. Uber reuses the order UUID across the receipt and
the amendment, so the two can be matched. The transaction is reduced in place
rather than offset with a second row — the order is one event whose cost
changed, and a compensating row would misreport both the meal count and the
merchant's spend. When the original was never ingested, nothing is invented.
[Family] orders now import instead of parking. Their payment line names the
payer, not an instrument ('Payments Siddharth LKR 3,783.20'), so no split is
recoverable and there is no card leg to reconcile against — they would have sat
pending forever, which fails the actual requirement to import and tag them.
Treated as credits, flagged as an assumption. Safe because the family tag
removes them from every budget regardless of instrument, and the LKR amount is
preserved with amount_aud left NULL rather than asserting an FX rate.
Ingest API. n8n now POSTs each message to /api/orders/ingest instead of parsing
in a Code node — the n8n sandbox has no require or fs, so a parser there cannot
be tested against the fixture corpus, which is the one thing that makes this
parser trustworthy. Auth is a shared secret, since machine callers have no
Traefik session header. Rejections return 422 and record nothing.
60 unit + 45 integration green on three consecutive runs; 63/65 corpus holds.
Ingestion now runs on the rebuilt parser. Three substantive changes.
Deferred card reconciliation. A 'MasterCard 8032 and/or credits' receipt never
states the split, but the card leg lands on the statement — Subway's $29.08
order shows $13.06 on 8032, so $16.02 was credits. For a live order that
statement is weeks away, so the split cannot be settled at ingest time. Such
orders are now parked with provenance and no transaction, and
reconcilePendingOrders() resolves them once the statement arrives. Backfill
takes the same path and resolves immediately. Migration 0019 adds the columns
that make an order resumable; applied to personal_test only, prod untouched.
Payment detection bug, found by the new tests: the old regex delimited the
'Paid with' line on a double space, which whitespace collapsing removes. Every
card and mixed receipt fell through to the credits branch — the Woolworths
receipt booked $60.93 of credits spend that never happened.
Category resolution reversed deliberately. Correction 1 said never default to
dining; the implementation of that sent everything unrecognised to 'other', and
knowing six merchants meant Carl's Jr, Taco Bell, Chilli India, Oporto, Schnitz
and Souvlaki GR all landed there. Grocers are an enumerable set and restaurants
are not, so match groceries explicitly and let the residual be dining.
Tests rebuilt on real captured receipts; the synthetic fixtures are deleted.
60 unit + 41 integration green on three consecutive runs.
Tests 12 & 13 asserted that every 'ShopBack Gift Cards' row becomes a transfer.
Resolved against the ShopBack purchase emails, 3 of the 14 matching rows are
Airbnb, 1 Shell, 1 Amazon — the bank descriptor's trailing token is a sequence
counter, not a brand code, so the description cannot identify what was bought.
Only $313.66 of $3,411.16 was ever reclassifiable.
Withdrawn rather than narrowed: making it safe needs ShopBack purchase-email
ingestion, brand resolution and an approval gate, to correctly handle 2
transactions in 20 months. Those two rows get handled by hand.
