Delete transaction DELETE

Delete a manual transaction. Idempotent — returns success even if the transaction is already gone or is provider-managed (Plaid/SnapTrade).

List transactions GET

Returns transactions across all of the user's accounts, newest first. Use `nextCursor` to page. **Note:** `amount` is signed — positive = money in (credit/refund/income), negative = money out (debit/spending).
