Add merchant field to transactions
Transactions now have a merchant. It shows up below the description in the list, or nothing if the transaction doesn't have one.
What changed, in plain terms
Before, each transaction had a description like "Uber ride home" but nothing telling us structurally which merchant it was. Now there's a dedicated merchant field on every transaction — sometimes filled in, sometimes not.
In the transaction list, you'll see the merchant name in a muted line under the description. If a transaction doesn't have a merchant, that line just isn't there.
Explicitly NOT in this change:
- Filtering the list by merchant
- Per-merchant spending reports
- A structured merchants table — it's free text for now
The rendering is the easy part. What's actually being stored on each transaction is where it's worth starting.
