* [AI] cover existing template engine logic with regression tests
Adds tests for goal template behavior that predates this PR so the
suite can be cherry-picked onto master to confirm no regressions. No
production code changes.
Covers:
- init() validation: schedule names, by/schedule priority match, past
by-target with and without annual/repeat, percentage source not
found, special source aliases, duplicate limit/spend/goal
directives, weekly limit missing start date, invalid limit period,
unrecognized periodic period
- runRemainder cap clamping and hideDecimal fraction removal
- Income-category branch in runTemplatesForPriority
- getLimitExcess against an aggregate weekly cap
- Past by-target rolling forward via the annual period
- runSchedule full=true (no sinking accumulation), percent and fixed
adjustments, completed-schedule filtering, past-date error for
non-repeating schedules, monthly/weekly/daily sinking contribution
branches when interval exceeds the pay-month-of cap, surplus
absorption when last-month balance exceeds the target, and
tracking-budget mode forcing all schedules pay-month-of
- applyMultipleCategoryTemplates orchestration: per-category writes,
cross-category priority clamping when funds run out, error
notification path
- applyTemplate force=false skipping already-budgeted categories
