Budget Analytics & Liability Fixes

A major update introducing intelligent budget analytics with problem detection, progress tracking, and critical fixes for liability account balance handling.

Budget Health Summary
  • Quick Health Overview: New summary card at the top of the Budget page showing budget status at a glance.
  • Problem Detection: Automatically flags categories that are consistently over budget (3+ months).
  • Status Indicators: Color-coded badges showing on-track, warning, and over-budget counts.
Budget Analytics Tab
  • 6-Month Trend Chart: Visualizes budget adherence over time with monthly breakdown.
  • Category Performance Table: Shows average budget vs spent, variance percentage, and trend indicators.
  • Smart Recommendations: AI-driven suggestions to increase, decrease, or maintain budget amounts.
  • Budget Health Score: Weighted score combining categories on track, overall adherence, and improvement trend.
Liability Balance Fixes
  • Fixed Expense Calculation: Expenses on credit cards now correctly increase the balance (debt goes up).
  • Fixed Payment Calculation: Payments to credit cards now correctly decrease the balance (debt goes down).
  • Consistent Liability Handling: All CRUD operations for expenses and income now properly check the isLiability flag.
  • Tithe Logic Exclusion: Church tithe calculations are now correctly skipped for liability accounts.
UI Improvements
  • Dynamic Label: Liability accounts now display "Amount Owed" instead of "Current Balance" for clarity.
  • Icon Standardization: Replaced all hardcoded Unicode emojis with Lucide React icons for consistency and maintainability.
