🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A diagnostic tool within the app that flags specific transaction types or patterns causing common reconciliation drift.
  2. An interactive 'reconciliation audit' wizard that walks users through step-by-step verification of recent account balances.
  3. A simplified 'emergency reset' feature that allows users to reconcile large discrepancies with a clear audit trail of the adjustment.
