get_budget_status() summed only transactions whose category_id matched the
budgeted category exactly, while the Dashboard breakdown and the category
report both roll a subcategory's spending up into its parent
(coalesce(parent_id, id) in dashboard_service.py and reports_service.py).
With one level of subcategories — the app supports exactly one — a budget on
"Housing & Utilities" ignored everything filed under "Rent": the Dashboard
showed 900 spent for the month and the Budget page showed 0 of 1000 for the
same category, same month. Since insights_service's over-budget alert reads
this same status, the alert stayed silent too.
Budgets now count the budgeted category plus its children, matching the
rollup the other two screens already use. A subcategory that has a budget of
its own keeps tracking its own spending, so both bars move against their own
limits — that case is pinned by a test as well.
Aurum — a self-hosted personal finance operating system: cash flow,
net worth tracking, budgets, goals, recurring payments, reports,
proactive alerts, and a compound-interest returns calculator, all
bilingual (RU/EN) and mobile-first. Ships as a three-container Docker
Compose stack (Postgres + FastAPI + nginx-served React frontend).
See README.md for setup and CONTRIBUTING.md for development.
