Net the trip debt to one figure, and show payer, category and search on Shared
Shared view: the query already returned owner_name and effective_category, the
table just never rendered them. Paid by sits next to Splits because together
they are whose money went out and whose share it was. Search is client-side —
this endpoint returns all 1,267 split rows in one request with no pagination, so
there is nothing for a round-trip to narrow, and the sort was already
client-side. It matches description, merchant, notes, category and payer, but not
participant names: the dropdown does that, and "sonu" matching every row she is
split on would read as broken.

Trip owed collapses to one settle-up figure per person, with the breakdown
beside it so the net is auditable rather than asserted.

I argued against netting a few hours ago and was wrong. The claim was that the
grouped-payment allocation cleared each trip against the one-directional gross,
so netting would redefine that debt after the fact. The rows say otherwise:
Europe's $802.75 is 56 transactions Sonu actually paid across Rome, Venice, the
Dolomites, Bellagio, Lucerne and Paris on which I hold 25%, and paid_by_me is
$0.00 on every row of every trip because nothing has ever been recorded going
from me to her. Her side looked settled only because the allocation derived her
payment split from her gross, so it lands on zero by construction. The
one-directional view was hiding a live obligation, not protecting an allocation.

Nets now: Auckland Sonu +$1,077.25, Europe Sonu -$802.75, Sonu + Sunny -$936.34,
Europe Molina -$816.16.

Also correcting an error in my own reporting: I said Auckland's mirror was
$0.00. It is $428.39 — 17 Auckland rows Sonu paid that I hold a split on. Two
ad-hoc verification queries mis-joined on a nullable scope column and
under-reported the mirror side. The app code was never affected and the owed
column is still byte-identical.

The footnote now states the trap the netting exposes: a debt settled by a payment
left on the household tab still reads as outstanding on the trip. Payment 5
(Molina to Sonu, $1,605.49) is exactly that case and is left alone as a data
decision.

277 passing, build clean.
