Programming update

Readable, recoverable household-ledger backups

Au Jour Le Jour Verified change a162e7c

Programming note by .

Au Jour Le Jour added a portable HTML backup that can be read without the application while retaining the original importable data.

What changed

The export includes recurring bills, monthly items, reserved buckets, payment-derived totals, status counts, and the covered period in a self-contained document.

The raw JSON remains embedded and downloadable, so the readable copy is also a recovery path rather than a dead-end report.

Backup state is updated consistently for JSON and readable exports, and Janitor checks verify that the feature is wired in both builds.

Engineering note

A backup should serve both recovery and inspection. Combining a readable ledger with embedded importable data avoids the usual choice between a report people can understand and a file the software can restore.
