description	Rebuild a month's canonical budget JSON from raw transactions, auto-classifying from memory and preserving prior work. Use when /compile, /heartbeat, or /settle need to (re)generate budget_*.json.

Recompile

Run the bundled script (no per-month code):

node plugins/open-personal-finance/scripts/recompile.mjs --household {household} --month {YYYY-MM}

It reads transactions_raw.json and the existing budget_*.json, then writes the budget as a flat canonical array (SCHEMA.md):

• Preserves prior classifications by id — manual /classify edits and confirmations win.
• Auto-classifies NEW rows by matching descriptions against the household's expenses_memory.md / income_memory.md tables (the single source of truth — no hardcoded per-month maps). Unmatched rows are left type: "unclassified".
• Parses installment fields (installmentNumber/totalInstallments), enriches opaque transfer descriptions with the counterparty.
• Carries prior provisional rows forward, dropping each once its real counterpart posts (salary by holder; recurring expense by category+subcategory).

After recompile

1. The script prints any rows still unclassified. Run /classify on them so it consults memory, classifies, and persists new merchant patterns back to memory.
2. Run /audit, then /advise.

Keep expenses_memory.md / income_memory.md current — they are what makes the auto-classification work without touching code.
