+# CLAUDE.md
+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Common Development Commands
+
+### Development Server
+- `bin/dev` - Start development server (Rails, Sidekiq, Tailwind CSS watcher)
+- `bin/rails server` - Start Rails server only
+- `bin/rails console` - Open Rails console
+
+### Testing
+- `bin/rails test` - Run all tests
+- `bin/rails test:db` - Run tests with database reset
+- `bin/rails test:system` - Run system tests only
+- `bin/rails test test/models/account_test.rb` - Run specific test file
+- `bin/rails test test/models/account_test.rb:42` - Run specific test at line
+
+### Linting & Formatting
+- `bin/rubocop` - Run Ruby linter
+- `npm run lint` - Check JavaScript/TypeScript code
+- `npm run lint:fix` - Fix JavaScript/TypeScript issues
+- `npm run format` - Format JavaScript/TypeScript code
+- `bin/brakeman` - Run security analysis
+
+### Database
+- `bin/rails db:prepare` - Create and migrate database
+- `bin/rails db:migrate` - Run pending migrations
+- `bin/rails db:rollback` - Rollback last migration
+- `bin/rails db:seed` - Load seed data
+
+### Setup
+- `bin/setup` - Initial project setup (installs dependencies, prepares database)
+
+## General Development Rules
+
+### Authentication Context
+- Use `Current.user` for the current user. Do NOT use `current_user`.
+- Use `Current.family` for the current family. Do NOT use `current_family`.
+
+### Development Guidelines
+- Prior to generating any code, carefully read the project conventions and guidelines
+- Ignore i18n methods and files. Hardcode strings in English for now to optimize speed of development
+- Do not run `rails server` in your responses
+- Do not run `touch tmp/restart.txt`
+- Do not run `rails credentials`
+- Do not automatically run migrations
+
+## High-Level Architecture
+
+### Application Modes
+The Maybe app runs in two distinct modes:
+- **Managed**: The Maybe team operates and manages servers for users (Rails.application.config.app_mode = "managed")
+- **Self Hosted**: Users host the Maybe app on their own infrastructure, typically through Docker Compose (Rails.application.config.app_mode = "self_hosted")
+
+### Core Domain Model
+The application is built around financial data management with these key relationships:
+- **User** → has many **Accounts** → has many **Transactions**
+- **Account** types: checking, savings, credit cards, investments, crypto, loans, properties
+- **Transaction** → belongs to **Category**, can have **Tags** and **Rules**
+- **Investment accounts** → have **Holdings** → track **Securities** via **Trades**
+
+### API Architecture
+The application provides both internal and external APIs:
+- Internal API: Controllers serve JSON via Turbo for SPA-like interactions
+- External API: `/api/v1/` namespace with Doorkeeper OAuth and API key authentication
+- API responses use Jbuilder templates for JSON rendering
+- Rate limiting via Rack Attack with configurable limits per API key
+
+### Sync & Import System
+Two primary data ingestion methods:
+1. **Plaid Integration**: Real-time bank account syncing
+   - `PlaidItem` manages connections
+   - `Sync` tracks sync operations
+   - Background jobs handle data updates
+2. **CSV Import**: Manual data import with mapping
+   - `Import` manages import sessions
+   - Supports transaction and balance imports
+   - Custom field mapping with transformation rules
+
+### Background Processing
+Sidekiq handles asynchronous tasks:
+- Account syncing (`SyncAccountsJob`)
+- Import processing (`ImportDataJob`)
+- AI chat responses (`CreateChatResponseJob`)
+- Scheduled maintenance via sidekiq-cron
+
+### Frontend Architecture
+- **Hotwire Stack**: Turbo + Stimulus for reactive UI without heavy JavaScript
+- **ViewComponents**: Reusable UI components in `app/components/`
+- **Stimulus Controllers**: Handle interactivity, organized alongside components
+- **Charts**: D3.js for financial visualizations (time series, donut, sankey)
+- **Styling**: Tailwind CSS v4.x with custom design system
+  - Design system defined in `app/assets/tailwind/maybe-design-system.css`
+  - Always use functional tokens (e.g., `text-primary` not `text-white`)
+  - Prefer semantic HTML elements over JS components
+  - Use `icon` helper for icons, never `lucide_icon` directly
+
+### Multi-Currency Support
+- All monetary values stored in base currency (user's primary currency)
+- Exchange rates fetched from Synth API
+- `Money` objects handle currency conversion and formatting
+- Historical exchange rates for accurate reporting
+
+### Security & Authentication
+- Session-based auth for web users
+- API authentication via:
+  - OAuth2 (Doorkeeper) for third-party apps
+  - API keys with JWT tokens for direct API access
+- Scoped permissions system for API access
+- Strong parameters and CSRF protection throughout
+
+### Key Service Objects & Patterns
+- **Query Objects**: Complex database queries isolated in `app/queries/`
+- **Service Objects**: Business logic in `app/services/`
+- **Form Objects**: Complex forms with validation
+- **Concerns**: Shared functionality across models/controllers
+- **Jobs**: Background processing logic
+
+### Testing Philosophy
+- Comprehensive test coverage using Rails' built-in Minitest
+- Fixtures for test data (avoid FactoryBot)
+- Keep fixtures minimal (2-3 per model for base cases)
+- VCR for external API testing
+- System tests for critical user flows (use sparingly)
+- Test helpers in `test/support/` for common scenarios
+- Only test critical code paths that significantly increase confidence
+- Write tests as you go, when required
+
+### Performance Considerations
+- Database queries optimized with proper indexes
+- N+1 queries prevented via includes/joins
+- Background jobs for heavy operations
+- Caching strategies for expensive calculations
+- Turbo Frames for partial page updates
+
+### Development Workflow
+- Feature branches merged to `main`
+- Docker support for consistent environments
+- Environment variables via `.env` files
+- Lookbook for component development (`/lookbook`)
+- Letter Opener for email preview in development
+
+## Project Conventions
+
+### Convention 1: Minimize Dependencies
+- Push Rails to its limits before adding new dependencies
+- When adding dependencies, favor old and reliable over new and flashy
+- Strong technical or business reason required for new dependencies
+
+### Convention 2: POROs and Concerns over Service Objects
+- "Skinny controller, fat models" convention
+- Everything in `app/models/` folder, avoid separate folders like `app/services/`
+- Use Rails concerns for better organization (can be one-off concerns)
+- Models should answer questions about themselves (e.g., `account.balance_series`)
+
+### Convention 3: Leverage Hotwire and Server-Side Solutions
+- Native HTML preferred over JS components (e.g., `<dialog>`, `<details>`)
+- Use Turbo frames to break up pages
+- Leverage query params for state over local storage
+- Format values server-side, pass to Stimulus for display only
+- Client-side code only where it truly shines (e.g., bulk selections)
+
+### Convention 4: Optimize for Simplicity and Clarity
+- Prioritize good OOP domain design over performance
+- Only focus on performance in critical/global areas
+- Be mindful of N+1 queries and large data payloads
+
+### Convention 5: ActiveRecord for Complex Validations, DB for Simple Ones
+- Enforce null checks, unique indexes in the DB
+- ActiveRecord validations for convenience in forms
+- Complex validations and business logic in ActiveRecord

+  # You can configure a custom block (or use a class respond to `#call`) that must
+  # return `true` in case Application instance supports requested OAuth grant flow
+  # during the authorization request to the server. This configuration +doesn't+
+  # set flows per application, it only allows to check if application supports
+  # specific grant flow.
+  #
+  # For example you can add an additional database column to `oauth_applications` table,
+  # say `t.array :grant_flows, default: []`, and store allowed grant flows that can
+  # be used with this application there. Then when authorization requested Doorkeeper
+  # will call this block to check if specific Application (passed with client_id and/or
+  # client_secret) is allowed to perform the request for the specific grant type
+  # (authorization, password, client_credentials, etc).
+  #
+  # Example of the block:
+  #
+  #   ->(flow, client) { client.grant_flows.include?(flow) }
+  #
+  # In case this option invocation result is `false`, Doorkeeper server returns
+  # :unauthorized_client error and stops the request.
+  #
+  # @param allow_grant_flow_for_client [Proc] Block or any object respond to #call
+  # @return [Boolean] `true` if allow or `false` if forbid the request
+  #
+  # allow_grant_flow_for_client do |grant_flow, client|
+  #   # `grant_flows` is an Array column with grant
+  #   # flows that application supports
+  #
+  #   client.grant_flows.include?(grant_flow)
+  # end
+
+  # If you need arbitrary Resource Owner-Client authorization you can enable this option
+  # and implement the check your need. Config option must respond to #call and return
+  # true in case resource owner authorized for the specific application or false in other
+  # cases.
+  #
+  # By default all Resource Owners are authorized to any Client (application).
+  #
+  # authorize_resource_owner_for_client do |client, resource_owner|
+  #   resource_owner.admin? || client.owners_allowlist.include?(resource_owner)
+  # end
+
+  # Allows additional data fields to be sent while granting access to an application,
+  # and for this additional data to be included in subsequently generated access tokens.
+  # The 'authorizations/new' page will need to be overridden to include this additional data
+  # in the request params when granting access. The access grant and access token models
+  # will both need to respond to these additional data fields, and have a database column
+  # to store them in.
+  #
+  # Example:
+  # You have a multi-tenanted platform and want to be able to grant access to a specific
+  # tenant, rather than all the tenants a user has access to. You can use this config
+  # option to specify that a ':tenant_id' will be passed when authorizing. This tenant_id
+  # will be included in the access tokens. When a request is made with one of these access
+  # tokens, you can check that the requested data belongs to the specified tenant.
+  #
+  # Default value is an empty Array: []
+  # custom_access_token_attributes [:tenant_id]
+
+  # Hook into the strategies' request & response life-cycle in case your
+  # application needs advanced customization or logging:
+  #
+  # before_successful_strategy_response do |request|
+  #   puts "BEFORE HOOK FIRED! #{request}"
+  # end
+  #
+  # after_successful_strategy_response do |request, response|
+  #   puts "AFTER HOOK FIRED! #{request}, #{response}"
+  # end
+
+  # Hook into Authorization flow in order to implement Single Sign Out
+  # or add any other functionality. Inside the block you have an access
+  # to `controller` (authorizations controller instance) and `context`
+  # (Doorkeeper::OAuth::Hooks::Context instance) which provides pre auth
+  # or auth objects with issued token based on hook type (before or after).
+  #
+  # before_successful_authorization do |controller, context|
+  #   Rails.logger.info(controller.request.params.inspect)
+  #
+  #   Rails.logger.info(context.pre_auth.inspect)
+  # end

+  #       .logout_uri
+  #
+  #   Rails.logger.info(context.auth.inspect)
+  #   Rails.logger.info(context.issued_token)
+  # end
+
+  # Under some circumstances you might want to have applications auto-approved,
+  # so that the user skips the authorization step.
+  # For example if dealing with a trusted application.
+  #
+  # skip_authorization do |resource_owner, client|
+  #   client.superapp? or resource_owner.admin?
+  # end
+
+  # Configure custom constraints for the Token Introspection request.
+  # By default this configuration option allows to introspect a token by another
+  # token of the same application, OR to introspect the token that belongs to
+  # authorized client (from authenticated client) OR when token doesn't
+  # belong to any client (public token). Otherwise requester has no access to the
+  # introspection and it will return response as stated in the RFC.
+  #

+  #
+  # @param token [Doorkeeper::AccessToken]
+  #   token to be introspected
+  #
+  # @param authorized_client [Doorkeeper::Application]
+  #   authorized client (if request is authorized using Basic auth with
+  #   Client Credentials for example)
+  #
+  # @param authorized_token [Doorkeeper::AccessToken]
+  #   Bearer token used to authorize the request
+  #
+  # In case the block returns `nil` or `false` introspection responses with 401 status code
+  # when using authorized token to introspect, or you'll get 200 with { "active": false } body
+  # when using authorized client to introspect as stated in the
+  # RFC 7662 section 2.2. Introspection Response.
+  #
+  # Using with caution:
+  # Keep in mind that these three parameters pass to block can be nil as following case:
+  #  `authorized_client` is nil if and only if `authorized_token` is present, and vice versa.
+  #  `token` will be nil if and only if `authorized_token` is present.
+  # So remember to use `&` or check if it is present before calling method on
+  # them to make sure you doesn't get NoMethodError exception.
+  #
+  # You can define your custom check:
+  #
+  # allow_token_introspection do |token, authorized_client, authorized_token|
+  #   if authorized_token
+  #     # customize: require `introspection` scope
+  #     authorized_token.application == token&.application ||

+  #   else
+  #     # public token (when token.application is nil, token doesn't belong to any application)
+  #     true
+  #   end
+  # end
+  #
+  # Or you can completely disable any token introspection:
+  #
+  # allow_token_introspection false
