What

A month with no budget of its own now inherits the previous one through its recurring defaults, and a one-off migration repairs the users whose allocations predate recurring budgets.

  • Migration 20261001185217_BackfillBudgetDefaults (SQL in BudgetDefaultsBackfill) turns the latest allocation of each category into a budget_defaults row effective from that month, so the following month inherits it. Idempotent (ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING) and it never invents a budget for an earlier month.
  • IBudgetService.PromoteMonthToDefaultsAsync and the budget screen's "🔁 Aplicar todos los meses" button turn the current month's overrides into the recurring default, keeping an existing default's effective_from and leaving an override whose default starts later.
  • The "a later month does not inherit" test becomes the per-month snapshot guarantee; BudgetInheritanceTests proves the inheritance end to end against PostgreSQL.
  • Docs: TECHNICAL-DESIGN.md §5, items 7/14 and the phase table, gotchas.md, HANDOFF.md.

Why

Reported after the October rollover: the summary showed no budget and "Todavía no hay asignaciones para este mes", while September was fine. The recurring budget only carries if the assignment was stored as a budget_defaults row; the migration that added it never backfilled existing months, and the "copy previous month" button had been retired, so nothing transferred.

How to test

  • dotnet build MyBudget.sln — 0 warnings
  • dotnet test MyBudget.sln — 848 tests
  • dotnet format MyBudget.sln --verify-no-changes

On a real database: back up, then --migrate (the migrator container applies the backfill). Open the next month's summary and budget screen — they should be funded; the backfill is idempotent and only inserts.

Checklist

  • CI is green (build, tests, formatting, security scans).
  • New/changed behavior is covered by tests.
  • Money stays exact (long) and dates are calendar dates where relevant.
  • No secrets, credentials or .env values are committed.
  • Docs (AGENTS.md, docs/) updated if behavior or conventions changed.
  • Changes are focused and reasonably small.

…legacy allocations

A budget set before recurring budgets existed stayed as a single month's
snapshot, so the next month opened with nothing: a full September left October
with zero allocations.

- Migration 20261001185217_BackfillBudgetDefaults (SQL in
  BudgetDefaultsBackfill) turns the latest allocation of each category into a
  budget_defaults row effective from that month, so the following month
  inherits it. It is idempotent and never invents a budget for an earlier
  month.
- IBudgetService.PromoteMonthToDefaultsAsync and the budget screen's
  "Aplicar todos los meses" button turn the current month's overrides into the
  recurring default, keeping an existing default's effective_from and leaving
  an override whose default starts later.
- Replace the "a later month does not inherit" test with the inheritance
  contract (BudgetInheritanceTests); the per-month snapshot guarantee stays.
- Correct TECHNICAL-DESIGN.md, gotchas.md and HANDOFF.md, which still
  described the retired "copy last month" button.
public async Task Promoting_a_month_without_overrides_promotes_nothing()
{
_budgets.FindByPeriodAsync(UserId, September, Arg.Any<CancellationToken>())
.Returns((MonthlyBudget?)null);

// October has no row of its own: the budget set in September is what has to reach it.
_budgets.FindByPeriodAsync(UserId, october, Arg.Any<CancellationToken>())
.Returns((MonthlyBudget?)null);
A new migration's Up line is applied by the DatabaseFixture before coverage is
attributed to it, so it is always reported at 0 %: the new-code coverage gate
failed at 75 % on a single migration line. Migrations are scaffolding whose
effect the integration tests prove, so exclude them (and the generated
Designer files) from coverage. This keeps every future migration PR from
hitting the same gate.
