Important

Stacked on #3160, #3165 and #3167 — do not merge before them. The commit list carries all three. One commit belongs to this PR, feat(budgets): show what is actually free, beside the plan, and it rebases down to that single commit once they land. The dependency is on the goal side, not the budget one: the earmark figure is only correct once completed goals release their claim (#3165) and two goals can no longer both claim an account in full (#3160).

It will conflict with #3143 and #3164 in app/models/budget.rb when they land — additive, in a different part of the file. Happy to rebase whenever the order is decided.

A design decision worth disagreeing with before reviewing the code

The budget has never consulted an account balance. budgeted_spending and expected_income are numbers the user typed, and every figure on the page derives from them. It is a forecast, checked against reality after the fact, and it cannot answer "what do I actually have right now".

There are two ways to close that gap:

  1. Fold cash into the allocation arithmetic. The budget becomes YNAB's: you distribute money you hold, not money you expect. available_to_allocate stops meaning "what is left of my plan" and starts meaning "what is left of my balance".
  2. Show the cash beside the plan. The forecast stays a forecast, and the answer to the second question sits next to it.

This PR does (2), deliberately. Folding the two together is a different product, and a page showing "expected income 3,000" beside "really free 1,600" leaves the reader unsure which number drives the split. A test asserts allocated_spending, available_to_allocate and budgeted_spending are all untouched.

If the project wants (1), this is the wrong shape and I would rather rework it than bolt the other behaviour on. Say so and I will.

What changed

Budget#available_cash, #earmarked_for_goals, #free_cash, and a panel below the plan showing the three.

What reviewers should look at

The subtraction must be over the same accounts as the sum. Goal::FUNDABLE_ACCOUNT_TYPES includes Investment, so a goal can be backed by a brokerage account that available_cash never counted. Subtracting that earmark would show a "really free" figure too low — or negative — with nothing on the page to explain why. earmarked_for_goals is restricted to cash_accounts, and Goal#backing_within exists to ask exactly that.

It reads through the shared pool, not allocated_amount. A whole-account link reserves no fixed slice, so summing the column naively counts it as zero while it actually claims the remainder. Going through backing_share_for is what makes a 6,000 account fully claimed by one whole-account goal come out as 6,000 earmarked and 0 free.

Scoping. Like #transactions: a personal budget sees its owner's accounts, the household one what the viewer can see. A figure labelled "available" has to mean available to the person reading it.

The preview flag. Goals are behind it, so a panel that subtracts what they claim and links to them must be too — otherwise it points at a page the reader cannot open and explains a subtraction they have no way to inspect.

Testing

bin/rails test — 7083 runs, 28500 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors. RuboCop, erb_lint and Brakeman clean.

Eight model tests: liquidity only, excluded accounts left out, a fixed earmark subtracted, a whole-account link counted for what it really claims, an investment-backed earmark ignored, a released goal handing its money back, free cash never negative, and the allocation arithmetic untouched. Two controller tests cover the flag in both positions.

Move the legend swatches and arbitrary sizes onto design-system primitives.

Extract the swatch into a small DS primitive or component slot, and use scale tokens where one fits. The coding guidelines state: "use the icon helper instead of lucide_icon directly; no raw SVG outside DS primitives; ... avoid arbitrary *-[Npx] values when a scale token fits."

Review on we-promise#3179 and we-promise#3180.

`Goal#needs_attention?` names the pair of statuses that mean "this one wants
looking at" — a goal off its pace and a reserve below its floor. Three
places were spelling that out and the Plan hub's progress bar had fallen
behind, so a depleted reserve got a neutral bar an inch from its own amber
status pill: the same goal reported as needing attention and not.

`projection_summary` told a funded reserve it had "hit the target, no
projection needed". A reserve holds a level; there is no finish line to
project toward and no target to have hit. It does not reach that panel
today — the shortfall and celebration panels catch it first — but the
method reads as the single source of truth for that subtitle and should not
hand a caller a one-off's wording.

The legend swatches are bordered spans now rather than inline SVG, and the
label takes `text-xs` instead of an arbitrary 11px. The projection swatch
keeps the chart's own colour variables in an inline style rather than
`border-success` / `border-warning`: the chart hard-codes green-600 and
yellow-600, and a legend whose colour does not match the line it describes
is worse than the markup it would save.

The Plan-card test counts warning bars rather than matching one. A fixture
goal is already off its pace, so the markup is on the page either way and a
presence check passed without the fix.

* feat(goals): reserves you maintain, not goals you finish

An emergency fund is not a goal you reach and close — it is a level you
hold, and every withdrawal is a shortfall to make good. Sure treated it
like anything else: at 100% it offered to close it, which would release
the very money being set aside; a withdrawal dropped the bar with no
sign that anything was owed.

`kind` (added by the lifecycle lot without behavior) now means something.
A maintained goal is `funded` or `depleted`, never `reached` — sitting at
its floor is a steady state, not an achievement to file away. `complete`
is refused by an AASM guard rather than merely hidden, so no path can
release a reserve's earmark.

Two ordering traps, both of which would have made a drained reserve
invisible:

`ACTIVE_DISPLAY_STATUS_RANK` falls back to 4 for any status it does not
know, so an unranked `:depleted` would sort a drained emergency fund
below everything else — the exact opposite of what it means. It ranks
alongside `:behind` now, and `:funded` sorts near the end with the goals
that need nothing.

`behind_pace?` excludes reserves. `monthly_target_amount` and `pace` both
derive from `target_date`, which a reserve does not have, so "save X/month
to catch up" would be advice about a deadline that does not exist.

The form leads with the choice, since it changes what the rest of it
means, and hides the target date for a reserve rather than disabling it —
a hidden field cannot submit a stale value that would then drive a pace.
The card states the shortfall, which is exactly `remaining_amount`. The
panel that offers a one-off its closing action tells a reserve it is
intact and offers nothing, because there is nothing to do.

Scope: fixed targets only. Targets expressed in months of expenses, the
monthly refresh job, and the depletion insight are the next two PRs.

* fix(goals): let a reserve behave like one everywhere it is shown

Addresses review feedback on #3167.

The kind selector never hid the target date. `data-controller="goal-kind"`
sat on the selector div while its `dateField` target is a sibling, so
`dateFieldTargets` came back empty and picking "Reserve to maintain" left the
deadline on screen and submittable. The controller moves to the form wrapper,
which encloses both.

Hiding a field is not enforcement, so the model now clears `target_date` for a
maintained goal. Normalising rather than rejecting: the field is hidden, and an
error about something the user cannot see is not actionable. A date could only
arrive through a conversion or a crafted request, and either way a stored
deadline would drive a pace the reserve does not have.

A completed goal could be switched to `maintained` from the edit form. It then
sat in a released state — one that has handed its earmark back — while the show
page promised its money stays reserved, and `complete` for reserves is refused
precisely to prevent that state. `kind` is now locked while released: reopen
first.

Reserves counted against the "goals on track" tile. Their statuses are
`funded`/`depleted`, which match none of the exclusions in `tracked_total`, so
they could never reach the numerator and a family with one reserve read
"0 of 1 on track" for a goal working exactly as intended.

Two more places still spoke of pace to something that has none. `pace_line` is
suppressed for reserves on the card, and a depleted reserve gets its own panel
before the projection card — the projection's summary, catch-up line and colour
are all built from a deadline. What a drained reserve needs is the number the
projection cannot show: how much is missing from the floor.

The French celebration copy read "Votre réserve est à son niveau", which never
says which level.

Each guard was confirmed load-bearing by removing it and watching its test
fail. bin/rails test: 6962 runs, 28003 assertions, 0 failures. RuboCop,
erb_lint and Brakeman clean.

* fix(goals): finish teaching the status consumers about reserves

Second round of review feedback on #3167: two consumers still had no branch
for the reserve statuses.

`ProgressRingComponent#percent_text_class` styled only `:reached` as success,
so a funded reserve — a floor the user is holding exactly as intended — fell
back to the neutral colour and read as unfinished.

`status_callout_context` had no `:depleted` branch, so a drained reserve showed
no callout at all: the one status that most deserves a line of explanation was
the only one saying nothing. It now names the shortfall.

`:funded` deliberately keeps no callout — a reserve at its level has nothing to
report, and the celebration panel already says so. A test pins that, so the
silence reads as a decision rather than another missing branch.

bin/rails test: 6964 runs, 28008 assertions, 0 failures. RuboCop and Brakeman
clean.

* fix(goals): lock the kind on the state the goal is actually in

Addresses review feedback on #3167, on the guard that landed in c1c7f4f7.

`kind_locked_while_released` read the in-memory `state`, so a single write
setting `state: "active"` alongside the new kind saw the goal as already
reopened and waved it through.

The end state looks legitimate — active and maintained — which is why the hole
is easy to miss. It is not: the direct write skipped the `reopen` transition,
and with it `thaw_completed_amount!`. `completed_amount` survived, so
`current_balance` returned that frozen snapshot forever on a live reserve.
Reopening has to be its own gesture, because it is the gesture that thaws.

Now reads `state_in_database`, with a regression test on the combined write
asserting both that it is refused and that the frozen amount is untouched.

Confirmed load-bearing by reading the attribute again and watching it fail.

* fix(goals): send an empty reserve to the shortfall panel, not the empty state

Addresses the last review thread on #3167.

The `maintained?` branch sat after the zero-balance/zero-pace one, so a
brand-new reserve matched the generic "make your first transfer" card. I had
put it there on purpose, thinking a reserve with nothing in it wanted the
first-transfer nudge. The review is right that it does not: it is still a
reserve short of its floor, and the shortfall panel says so with the saved,
target and missing amounts, where the generic card says none of them.

Ordering it after also meant evaluating `pace` on a goal that has no pace to
evaluate.

bin/rails test: 6965 runs, 0 failures. RuboCop and erb_lint clean.

* fix(goals): stop a paused goal outranking a reserve that is whole

Review on #3175.

`:funded` and paused both ranked 3 in `active_display_sort`, so the tie
broke on name and a paused goal called "Alpha" sat above a reserve called
"Zeta" that was fully funded — the list saying the paused one wanted
attention more. Paused now ranks behind every status, which is what the
comment above the table already claimed.

The seven panels on the goal page were hand-rolled repetitions of
`DS::Card`'s exact shell, two of them adjacent and identical. They render
through the primitive now, so their surface styling cannot drift apart.

* refactor(goals): move the lifecycle panel decision out of the template

Review on #3167 and #3180.

Which panel a goal gets is a lifecycle question with five answers, and the
template worked it out inline from `completed?`, `maintained?`, `one_off?`,
`status` and `may_complete?` — five predicates deep in ERB where the
ordering between them was load-bearing and nothing said so.

`Goals::LifecyclePanelComponent` answers it in Ruby and the template
renders the answer. The markup moves across unchanged, keys made absolute
because a relative `t(".x")` in a component resolves against the
component's own path rather than the page these strings belong to.

The order is now stated once, where it can be read and tested:
`:reserve_shortfall` before `:empty`, because a brand-new reserve sits at
zero balance and zero pace and the generic "make your first transfer" card
would otherwise swallow it.

Closing from the panel now confirms, as the header menu already did.
Completing releases the goal's earmarked money, and the panel offered that
in one click. Both go through `goal_complete_confirm` rather than building
the wording twice — two copies drifting apart is how one ends up
describing the wrong consequence.

* fix(goals): let a depleted reserve look as urgent as it is

Review on #3179 and #3180.

`Goal#needs_attention?` names the pair of statuses that mean "this one wants
looking at" — a goal off its pace and a reserve below its floor. Three
places were spelling that out and the Plan hub's progress bar had fallen
behind, so a depleted reserve got a neutral bar an inch from its own amber
status pill: the same goal reported as needing attention and not.

`projection_summary` told a funded reserve it had "hit the target, no
projection needed". A reserve holds a level; there is no finish line to
project toward and no target to have hit. It does not reach that panel
today — the shortfall and celebration panels catch it first — but the
method reads as the single source of truth for that subtitle and should not
hand a caller a one-off's wording.

The legend swatches are bordered spans now rather than inline SVG, and the
label takes `text-xs` instead of an arbitrary 11px. The projection swatch
keeps the chart's own colour variables in an inline style rather than
`border-success` / `border-warning`: the chart hard-codes green-600 and
yellow-600, and a legend whose colour does not match the line it describes
is worse than the markup it would save.

The Plan-card test counts warning bars rather than matching one. A fixture
goal is already off its pace, so the markup is on the page either way and a
presence check passed without the fix.

* feat(goals): reserves you maintain, not goals you finish

An emergency fund is not a goal you reach and close — it is a level you
hold, and every withdrawal is a shortfall to make good. Sure treated it
like anything else: at 100% it offered to close it, which would release
the very money being set aside; a withdrawal dropped the bar with no
sign that anything was owed.

`kind` (added by the lifecycle lot without behavior) now means something.
A maintained goal is `funded` or `depleted`, never `reached` — sitting at
its floor is a steady state, not an achievement to file away. `complete`
is refused by an AASM guard rather than merely hidden, so no path can
release a reserve's earmark.

Two ordering traps, both of which would have made a drained reserve
invisible:

`ACTIVE_DISPLAY_STATUS_RANK` falls back to 4 for any status it does not
know, so an unranked `:depleted` would sort a drained emergency fund
below everything else — the exact opposite of what it means. It ranks
alongside `:behind` now, and `:funded` sorts near the end with the goals
that need nothing.

`behind_pace?` excludes reserves. `monthly_target_amount` and `pace` both
derive from `target_date`, which a reserve does not have, so "save X/month
to catch up" would be advice about a deadline that does not exist.

The form leads with the choice, since it changes what the rest of it
means, and hides the target date for a reserve rather than disabling it —
a hidden field cannot submit a stale value that would then drive a pace.
The card states the shortfall, which is exactly `remaining_amount`. The
panel that offers a one-off its closing action tells a reserve it is
intact and offers nothing, because there is nothing to do.

Scope: fixed targets only. Targets expressed in months of expenses, the
monthly refresh job, and the depletion insight are the next two PRs.

* fix(goals): let a reserve behave like one everywhere it is shown

Addresses review feedback on #3167.

The kind selector never hid the target date. `data-controller="goal-kind"`
sat on the selector div while its `dateField` target is a sibling, so
`dateFieldTargets` came back empty and picking "Reserve to maintain" left the
deadline on screen and submittable. The controller moves to the form wrapper,
which encloses both.

Hiding a field is not enforcement, so the model now clears `target_date` for a
maintained goal. Normalising rather than rejecting: the field is hidden, and an
error about something the user cannot see is not actionable. A date could only
arrive through a conversion or a crafted request, and either way a stored
deadline would drive a pace the reserve does not have.

A completed goal could be switched to `maintained` from the edit form. It then
sat in a released state — one that has handed its earmark back — while the show
page promised its money stays reserved, and `complete` for reserves is refused
precisely to prevent that state. `kind` is now locked while released: reopen
first.

Reserves counted against the "goals on track" tile. Their statuses are
`funded`/`depleted`, which match none of the exclusions in `tracked_total`, so
they could never reach the numerator and a family with one reserve read
"0 of 1 on track" for a goal working exactly as intended.

Two more places still spoke of pace to something that has none. `pace_line` is
suppressed for reserves on the card, and a depleted reserve gets its own panel
before the projection card — the projection's summary, catch-up line and colour
are all built from a deadline. What a drained reserve needs is the number the
projection cannot show: how much is missing from the floor.

The French celebration copy read "Votre réserve est à son niveau", which never
says which level.

Each guard was confirmed load-bearing by removing it and watching its test
fail. bin/rails test: 6962 runs, 28003 assertions, 0 failures. RuboCop,
erb_lint and Brakeman clean.

Left open deliberately: extracting the show page's lifecycle panel into a
ViewComponent. The guideline behind it is right, but the refactor is wider than
this round of fixes and belongs on its own.

* feat(goals): tell the user when a reserve has dropped below its level

A maintained reserve exists to hold a floor. Nothing said when it stopped
holding it: the goal page shows the shortfall, but only to someone who thought
to look, and a reserve is precisely the thing you stop looking at once it is
full. That silence is the gap this closes.

High priority, unlike most of this feed. `IdleCashGenerator` is a nudge about
money doing nothing; this is the opposite — a floor the user deliberately set
is no longer there. It is also the one signal a reserve can produce that a
one-off goal cannot, which is what makes it worth a generator of its own.

Three deliberate limits:

- **Active reserves only.** A paused one is shelved on purpose, and
  `behind_pace?` already excludes paused goals for the same reason. Nagging
  about a goal someone put down is noise.
- **The dedup key rotates monthly.** A reserve can sit short for weeks while it
  is rebuilt, and re-raising the same shortfall every night trains people to
  dismiss the feed.
- **Two at a time, worst shortfall first.** A family running four drained
  reserves has one problem, not four.

Loaded through `Goal.prepared_for` so the family-wide pooled allocations are
read once: asking each reserve for its status reaches `current_balance`, and
without that injection every one of them would re-read the whole pool.

* fix(insights): stop an insight naming something that has been renamed

Review on #3175: renaming a depleted reserve leaves the stored title
naming the old one for the rest of the month, because the name is not part
of the metadata that drives a refresh.

Rather than making the name material, the same-signal branch now refreshes
the title alongside the facts. The title is built from I18n and the
generator's own data — the model writes the body, not this — so keeping it
current costs nothing, and a rename is not a reason to resurface an
insight the user has already read.

The body still says the old name until the numbers move. Forcing an LLM
rewrite on every rename is the wrong trade, and making the name material
would do that *and* re-nag the user.

This is generic to every generator whose title embeds a name, not only the
reserve one.

* fix(insights): refresh the title on reactivation too

A gap in the previous commit: the expired-and-returned branch resurfaces an
insight without touching its title, so a subject renamed while the insight
was expired came back naming the old one.

Same reasoning as the same-signal branch — the title is I18n plus the
generator's own data, not the model's prose, so keeping it current costs
nothing.

The budget has never consulted an account balance. `budgeted_spending` and
`expected_income` are numbers the user typed, and every figure on the page
derives from them — a forecast, checked against reality after the fact. It
answers "what did I plan to spend" and cannot answer "what do I actually have".

Three methods answer the second question: `available_cash`,
`earmarked_for_goals`, and `free_cash`. They appear in their own panel, below
the plan and outside it.

That separation is the whole design, not a layout choice. Folding cash into the
allocation arithmetic turns the budget into a different product — YNAB's, where
you distribute money you hold rather than money you expect — and a page showing
"expected income 3,000" beside "really free 1,600" leaves the reader unsure
which number drives the split. `allocated_spending` and `available_to_allocate`
keep their exact meaning; a test asserts none of them moves.

**The subtraction has to be over the same accounts as the sum.**
`Goal::FUNDABLE_ACCOUNT_TYPES` includes Investment, so a goal can be backed by
a brokerage account that `available_cash` never counted. Subtracting that
earmark would show a "really free" figure too low, or negative, with nothing on
the page to explain it. `earmarked_for_goals` is therefore restricted to
`cash_accounts`, and `Goal#backing_within` exists to ask that question.

It reads through the shared pool rather than summing `allocated_amount`,
because a whole-account link reserves no fixed slice: summed naively it counts
as zero while actually claiming the remainder.

Scoped like `#transactions` — a personal budget sees its owner's accounts, the
household one what the viewer can see. A figure labelled "available" has to
mean available to the person reading it.

Behind the preview flag, because goals are: a panel that subtracts what they
claim, and links to them, would otherwise point at a page the reader cannot
open and explain a subtraction they cannot inspect.

Review on we-promise#3179. Three defects, all of them mine, all in the same seam.

`ExchangeRate.find_rate` does not exist. Every multi-currency family
opening the budget page hit a NoMethodError before the panel rendered.
`find_or_fetch_rate` is the lookup the rest of the app uses.

`earmarked_for_goals` summed each goal's backing in the goal's own
currency and subtracted it from an `available_cash` that had been
converted. A fully earmarked EUR 1,000 account in a USD budget read as
1,200 available, 1,000 earmarked and 200 free — when none of it is free.

The French keys landed under `budget_categories` instead of `budgets`, so
the partial's `t(".heading")` found nothing and French readers got the
English fallback.

A missing rate leaves the amount as it stands rather than raising: a panel
wrong by the spread beats the whole budget page failing to render.
