Okay, I've implemented the ability to set up installments and recurring credit card transactions.

This means you can now schedule transactions for your credit cards, choosing between installment-based payments or recurring ones.

Here's what I changed:

- I added a new `ScheduledTransaction` model. This will keep track of all the details for these scheduled payments, like how often they occur, the number of installments, the date of the next payment, and so on.
- I set up connections between `ScheduledTransaction` and `Account`, `Category`, and `Merchant`.
- I created a background process, `CreateTransactionsFromScheduledJob`. This process will run regularly to:
    - Find any scheduled transactions that are due.
    - Create the necessary `Transaction` and `Entry` records for them.
    - Update the `next_occurrence_date` for the scheduled transaction.
    - Manage the lifecycle of these transactions. For installments, this means increasing the count and removing the schedule when it's complete. For recurring transactions, it means removing the schedule if it's past its end date.
- I updated the user interface for Credit Cards:
    - I added a new section under each credit card where you can see and manage its scheduled transactions.
    - I implemented a new nested controller, `CreditCards::ScheduledTransactionsController`, to handle creating, viewing, editing, and deleting these scheduled transactions.
    - I created new views and partials to display the list of scheduled transactions and a form for creating or editing them, using Turbo Streams for a smoother experience.
- I made sure that your existing transaction views will correctly show transactions generated by this new process.
- I added model tests for `ScheduledTransaction`, job tests for `CreateTransactionsFromScheduledJob`, and controller/integration tests for the new UI.

**Important Notes:**
- I generated the database migration for `ScheduledTransaction` (`db/migrate/20250524135137_create_scheduled_transactions.rb`), but I couldn't run it because of an ongoing PostgreSQL issue in my automated environment. You'll need to run this migration manually.
- Similarly, I've written the new tests, but I couldn't execute them to confirm they pass due to the same database connectivity problem. You'll need to run and verify these tests in an environment where PostgreSQL is working correctly.
