✨ Enhancements
- The Cash on Hand chart shows a Reserve line when part of your buffer is held inside your retirement accounts.
- Red shading on the Cash on Hand chart now marks only the part of your buffer target your reserve does not cover.
- Ask AI explains each year's withdrawal as covering that year's shortfall or rebuilding cash, and never ties it to a single expense.

⚠️ Changes that can move numbers on existing plans
- Traditional IRA, Roth and HSA money is no longer withdrawn just to rebuild your cash buffer; those accounts now pay only for what each year actually needs.
- Plans no longer show a large one-year withdrawal, and the tax on it, in the year you reach 59½ or in your first year of retirement.
- Once your taxable savings are used, cash can stay near $0 while your retirement accounts pay each year's costs; this is intended.
- NestScore, the Min Reserve card and the low-reserve warning now count your reserve: cash plus retirement money you can reach without a penalty, up to your buffer target.

- The first year of a plan now runs from the current month to December 31; income, spending, payments and growth for the months already gone were being counted twice. (Ticket #14)
- The first year is labeled with its months, for example "2026 (Sep–Dec)", in every table, chart, CSV and PDF. (Ticket #14)
- A home you sell no longer counts twice in its sale year: its equity leaves net worth in the year the sale proceeds arrive. (Ticket #9)
- A home's mortgage is now charged even when no property tax, insurance or upkeep has been entered.
- Working years are charged your share of employer health cover, $1,500 a person by default and editable, instead of a full marketplace premium.

📊 Tables you control
- Build your own table from any of 81 fields the projection produces, then rename it and any column and write the help text behind each question mark.
- Pick "Income by source" or "Balance by account" and it expands into one column per source, named from the plan itself.
- Show, hide and reorder every table, the standard ones included. The panel opens on whichever you put first.
- Download any table as a spreadsheet, matching your column names and the dollar basis you were viewing.
- Ask AI knows your tables by the names you gave them.
- Your choices are saved to your account, so every plan opens the way you set it.

📄 Report and dashboard fixes
- Table headers in the PDF no longer run into one another.

- A scenario now says when it is measured against your plan as entered rather than the optimizer's recommendations.
September 8, 2026
🧾 Roth conversions say which account they come from
- The optimizer now searches whose traditional IRA to convert from, trying each alone and both together.
- The Roth table, the PDF and the CSV show a column per person, and the action list names whose IRA each conversion comes from.
- You can pin the conversion source in Optimizer targets, to keep one account out of the optimizer's hands.
- When the choice barely changes the outcome, the recommendation says so instead of announcing a winner.
September 6, 2026
