Creating an issue so I don't forget about this.

d0caf9f521/packages/desktop-client/src/hooks/useLocalPref.ts (L30-L39)

The above code snippet migrates metadata.json prefs to local storage. This works fine (for now). But we will want to remove this logic for v24.11.0 release.

The problem is: metadata.json is never cleaned up. For example: if you had previously set-up a specific budget month - this starting budget month will always be used as the "default". No matter if you open the budget today, tomorrow or a year from now (assuming it's a fresh session with no local storage).

For version v24.11.0 the migration snippet should be removed. We can assume that most people would have auto-magically migrated by then.
