Description
Set monthly budgets per category and see actual vs target. Predict month-end spending based on current pace.
Why later: v0.1 just tracks history. Budgeting on top of that is a separate UX problem.
Rough scope:
- Budget target per line item per period
- 'You've spent 60% of your dining budget with 12 days left' alerts
- Pace-based forecasting

Research direction
Start by reviewing how the current v0.1 history tracking represents spending by category and period. Define the budget-target, alert, and pace-based forecasting behavior before locating the affected entry points. Done should cover monthly targets, actual-versus-target views, remaining-time alerts, and month-end predictions.
