nikolaandClaude Opus 5 7d4c3eba17 Open the report on last month
The report answered for the whole index, which is the one window a spending
report is least often asked for: last January's groceries sat in the same total
as last week's, and nothing on screen said which was which. It now opens on the
month that has just ended -- the last one a statement can be complete for --
and left/right step along an axis beside the totals, from all time down through
the named windows to the oldest month the index holds.

The period narrows the report and nothing else. reloadReport runs its own query
rather than reusing the rows the transaction list is showing: the two share the
account, the search and the untagged toggle, and differ only in the date
bounds, so opening on last month must not hide the rest of the index from the
list beside it. Nothing may put the period into m.filter, which is exactly what
would make it leak.

The windows are relative to today, never to the newest statement. "Last month"
with nothing in it reports nothing and says so, because silently answering for
a month nobody asked for is worse than an empty screen; an empty period and an
empty index therefore give different messages, one asking for another period
and the other for an import. The rolling windows run to the end of this month
rather than to the last complete one -- "last 3 months" is asked in order to
see what is happening now, and leaving out the days since the 1st answers a
question nobody put. The axis is built over the whole index rather than the
rows in view, or it would grow and shrink as the account or search filter
changed and move under the cursor; a reload rebuilds it, since an import can
reach further back, but keeps the window the user was on.

s cycles how those rows are arranged: largest out first as before, then in, net
lowest first so the biggest losses lead, count, and the tag A to Z. A letter
rather than a chord because the report is not a form. The marked heading says
which column the rows are read from and the help names what the key does next,
as the rule builder's preview already does. The sort rearranges rows and never
changes which rows there are, so the order stays out of the filter for the same
reason the period does. Currency remains the outer key under every order --
there are no rates here, so two currencies interleaved by amount would invite a
comparison that cannot be made -- and every order falls back to the tag, so
ties keep a fixed position instead of reshuffling between reloads.

money report takes the same choice as --sort out|in|net|count|tag, and a
misspelt one is refused rather than silently reporting in the default order. It
keeps --month and has no equivalent of the wider windows.

store.Filter gains From and To, compared as strings because dates are stored
ISO-8601 and a string comparison is therefore a date comparison. store.Months
replaces report.Months, which nothing had ever called: the axis needs the
months of the whole index, not of a slice already in hand.

nikolaandClaude Opus 5 ebf7770569 Pair transfers from rules.toml
The boolean transfer flag went two commits ago because a one-sided verdict let
half a movement vanish and left the report unbalanced. This is what replaces
it: a [[transfer]] block names both legs, and only a matched pair is dropped
from the report -- both legs together, never one.

Legs pair within five days, nearest date first, and a transaction belongs to at
most one transfer, so the first definition to claim a leg keeps it, exactly as
the first matching rule keeps a tag. The pairing is derived state like the tags:
Engine.Link rewrites the whole transfers table from rules.toml, which is why
retag re-derives both halves of what that file decides, and why it runs over
the whole index rather than a filtered view -- pairing inside one would let a
movement count as a transfer in one report and not in another. An unmatched leg
is not a transfer and keeps counting, surfaced as a warning instead.

Within one currency the amount is the evidence and must be the exact opposite.
Across currencies it is not checked at all: there are no rates here, so the two
numbers are unrelated and the dates carry the pairing alone.

tolerance_pct is the one exception, per definition, for a route where the bank
takes a fee and the two statements genuinely disagree. It defaults to zero and
belongs on the one definition that charges; a global or default tolerance would
loosen every route that does not. The difference it admits is not forgiven --
the pair leaves the report entirely, so a fee hidden inside one would be
spending that appears nowhere. Pair.Fee is what left less what arrived, and
report.Excluded carries it out per currency alongside the legs. It counts only
pairs whose legs are both in view, for the same reason it counts legs and not
transfers: half a pair cannot say what the other half received.

The screens:

- 6 builds a definition against the index as you type, showing the pairs it
  would form and the legs it would catch but leave unpaired. Six fields need
  more room than the rule builder's four, so the form sheds its spacing, then
  its hints, then the borders on unfocused fields.
- 7 lists every definition with what it pairs. Two counts, because they mean
  different things: an unpaired leg is a definition doing something and not
  finishing it, no pairs at all is dead weight. Tol names the tolerance, blank
  where amounts must agree.
- 3 grows a (transfers) row under TOTAL, and a fees row beneath it, or the
  report silently disagrees with the account balances.

Two things that are not part of transfers but are the same day's work:

- ls --uniq lists each account and description once, normalised the way a glob
  sees them, which is the shape of "what still needs a rule?" -- fifty visits
  to one shop are one pattern to write, not fifty rows to read.
- The rule builder's preview now filters to what the glob matches instead of
  marking matches in a full list. The count carries the context the rows no
  longer can: 2 of 7, measured against everything still in view.
