+Detects missing or inconsistent financial records and produces a structured

+Checks performed:
+  1. Balance mismatch       — income − expenses vs expected running balance
+  2. Orphaned expenses      — expense.category_id references a missing category
+  3. Orphaned recurring     — recurring_expense.category_id references a missing category
+  4. Future-dated expenses  — spent_at is in the future (likely data entry error)
+  5. Duplicate expenses     — same (user_id, amount, spent_at, expense_type) on the same day
+  6. Negative amounts       — expense.amount <= 0
+  7. Stale recurring        — active recurring expense whose end_date has passed
+  8. Missing bill reminders — active bills with next_due_date within 7 days but no pending reminder
