feat: Implement recurring expenses feature with scheduling and management

- Added support for recurring expenses, allowing users to define recurrence patterns (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly) for expenses.
- Introduced `RecurrencePattern` model to manage recurrence details and linked it to the `Expense` model.
- Implemented background job scheduling using APScheduler to automatically generate new expenses based on defined patterns.
- Updated expense creation logic to handle recurring expenses, including validation and database interactions.
- Enhanced frontend components to allow users to create and manage recurring expenses through forms and lists.
- Updated documentation to reflect new features and usage guidelines for recurring expenses.

+    #        SettlementActivity means user *paid* their share. So it should reduce their effective debt.
+    #        The cost.py logic adds SettlementActivity.amount_paid to UserBalanceDetail.total_settlements_paid.
+    #        So for User2: total_paid_for_expenses=0, total_share_of_expenses=33.33, total_settlements_paid=33.33, total_settlements_received=0
+    #        User2 Net = (0 + 0) - (33.33 + 33.33) = -66.66. This logic is flawed in the interpretation.
+    #
+    # Let's re-evaluate `total_settlements_paid` for UserBalanceDetail.
+    # A settlement_activity where user_id is paid_by_user_id means they *paid* that amount.
+    # This amount reduces what they owe OR counts towards what they are owed if they overpaid or paid for others.
+    # The current calculation: Net = (Money_User_Put_In) - (Money_User_Should_Have_Put_In_Or_Took_Out)
+    # Money_User_Put_In = total_paid_for_expenses + total_settlements_received (generic settlements)
+    # Money_User_Should_Have_Put_In_Or_Took_Out = total_share_of_expenses + total_settlements_paid (generic settlements + settlement_activities)
+    #
+    # If User2 pays 33.33 (activity):
+    #   total_paid_for_expenses (User2) = 0
+    #   total_share_of_expenses (User2) = 33.33
+    #   total_settlements_paid (User2) = 33.33 (from activity)
+    #   total_settlements_received (User2) = 0
+    #   User2 Net Balance = (0 + 0) - (33.33 + 33.33) = -66.66. This is still incorrect.
+    #
+    # The `SettlementActivity` means User2 *cleared* a part of their `total_share_of_expenses`.
+    # It should not be added to `total_settlements_paid` in the same way a generic `Settlement` is,
+    # because a generic settlement might be User2 paying User1 *outside* of an expense context,
+    # whereas SettlementActivity is directly paying off an expense share.
+    #
+    # The `costs.py` logic was:
+    # user_balances_data[activity.paid_by_user_id].total_settlements_paid += activity.amount_paid
+    # This means if User2 pays an activity, their `total_settlements_paid` increases.
+    #
+    # If total_share_of_expenses = 33.33 (what User2 is responsible for)
+    # And User2 pays a SettlementActivity of 33.33.
+    # User2's net should be 0.
+    # (0_paid_exp + 0_recv_settle) - (33.33_share + 33.33_paid_activity_as_settlement) = -66.66.
+    #
+    # The issue might be semantic: `total_settlements_paid` perhaps should only be for generic settlements.
+    # Or, the `SettlementActivity` should directly reduce `total_share_of_expenses` effectively,
+    # or be accounted for on the "money user put in" side.
+    #
+    # If a `SettlementActivity` by User2 means User1 (payer of expense) effectively got that money back,
+    # then User1's "received" should increase. But `SettlementActivity` doesn't have a `paid_to_user_id`.
+    # It just marks a split as paid.
+    #
+    # Let's assume the current `costs.py` logic is what we test.
+    # User1: paid_exp=100, share=33.33, paid_settle=0, recv_settle=0. Net = 100 - 33.33 = 66.67
+    # User2: paid_exp=0, share=33.33, paid_settle=33.33 (from activity), recv_settle=0. Net = 0 - (33.33 + 33.33) = -66.66
+    # User3: paid_exp=0, share=33.34, paid_settle=0, recv_settle=0. Net = 0 - 33.34 = -33.34
+    # Sum of net balances: 66.67 - 66.66 - 33.34 = -33.33. This is not zero. Balances must sum to zero.
+    #
+    # The problem is that `SettlementActivity` by User2 for their share means User1 (who paid the expense)
+    # is effectively "reimbursed". The money User1 put out (100) is reduced by User2's payment (33.33).
+    #
+    # The `SettlementActivity` logic in `costs.py` seems to be misinterpreting the effect of a settlement activity.
+    # A `SettlementActivity` reduces the effective amount a user owes for their expense shares.
+    # It's not a "settlement paid" in the sense of a separate P2P settlement.
+    #
+    # Correct approach for `costs.py` would be:
+    # For each user, calculate `effective_share = total_share_of_expenses - sum_of_their_settlement_activities_paid`.
+    # Then, `net_balance = total_paid_for_expenses - effective_share`. (Ignoring generic settlements for a moment).
+    #
+    # User1: paid_exp=100, share=33.33, activities_paid_by_user1=0. Effective_share=33.33. Net = 100 - 33.33 = 66.67
+    # User2: paid_exp=0, share=33.33, activities_paid_by_user2=33.33. Effective_share=0. Net = 0 - 0 = 0
+    # User3: paid_exp=0, share=33.34, activities_paid_by_user3=0. Effective_share=33.34. Net = 0 - 33.34 = -33.34
+    # Sum of net balances: 66.67 + 0 - 33.34 = 33.33. Still not zero.
+    #
+    # This is because the expense total is 100. User1 paid it. So the system has +100 from User1.
+    # User1 is responsible for 33.33. User2 for 33.33. User3 for 33.34.
+    # User2 paid their 33.33 (via activity). So User2 is settled (0).
+    # User3 still owes 33.34.
+    # User1 is owed 33.34 by User3. User1 is also "owed" their own initial outlay less their share (100 - 33.33 = 66.67),
+    # but has been effectively reimbursed by User2. So User1 should be a creditor of 33.34.
+    #
+    # Net for User1 = (Amount they paid for others) - (Amount others paid for them)
+    # User1 paid 100. User1's share is 33.33. So User1 effectively lent out 100 - 33.33 = 66.67.
+    # User2 owed 33.33 and paid it (via activity). So User2's debt to User1 is cleared.

+# Expense System Documentation
+
+## Overview
+
+The expense system is a core feature that allows users to track shared expenses, split them among group members, and manage settlements. The system supports various split types and integrates with lists, groups, and items.
+
+## Core Components
+
+### 1. Expenses
+
+An expense represents a shared cost that needs to be split among multiple users.
+
+#### Key Properties
+
+- `id`: Unique identifier
+- `description`: Description of the expense
+- `total_amount`: Total cost of the expense (Decimal)
+- `currency`: Currency code (defaults to "USD")
+- `expense_date`: When the expense occurred
+- `split_type`: How the expense should be divided
+- `list_id`: Optional reference to a shopping list
+- `group_id`: Optional reference to a group
+- `item_id`: Optional reference to a specific item
+- `paid_by_user_id`: User who paid for the expense
+- `created_by_user_id`: User who created the expense record
+- `version`: For optimistic locking
+- `overall_settlement_status`: Overall payment status
+
+#### Status Types
+
+```typescript
+enum ExpenseOverallStatusEnum {
+	UNPAID = "unpaid",
+	PARTIALLY_PAID = "partially_paid",
+	PAID = "paid",
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Expense Splits
+
+Splits represent how an expense is divided among users.
+
+#### Key Properties
+
+- `id`: Unique identifier
+- `expense_id`: Reference to parent expense
+- `user_id`: User who owes this portion
+- `owed_amount`: Amount owed by the user
+- `share_percentage`: Percentage share (for percentage-based splits)
+- `share_units`: Number of shares (for share-based splits)
+- `status`: Current payment status
+- `paid_at`: When the split was paid
+- `settlement_activities`: List of payment activities
+
+#### Status Types
+
+```typescript
+enum ExpenseSplitStatusEnum {
+	UNPAID = "unpaid",
+	PARTIALLY_PAID = "partially_paid",
+	PAID = "paid",
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Settlement Activities
+
+Settlement activities track individual payments made towards expense splits.
+
+#### Key Properties
+
+- `id`: Unique identifier
+- `expense_split_id`: Reference to the split being paid
+- `paid_by_user_id`: User making the payment
+- `amount_paid`: Amount being paid
+- `paid_at`: When the payment was made
+- `created_by_user_id`: User who recorded the payment
+
+## Split Types
+
+The system supports multiple ways to split expenses:
+
+### 1. Equal Split
+
+- Divides the total amount equally among all participants
+- Handles rounding differences by adding remainder to first split
+- No additional data required
+
+### 2. Exact Amounts
+
+- Users specify exact amounts for each person
+- Sum of amounts must equal total expense
+- Requires `splits_in` data with exact amounts
+
+### 3. Percentage Based
+
+- Users specify percentage shares
+- Percentages must sum to 100%
+- Requires `splits_in` data with percentages
+
+### 4. Share Based
+
+- Users specify number of shares
+- Amount divided proportionally to shares
+- Requires `splits_in` data with share units
+
+### 5. Item Based
+
+- Splits based on items in a shopping list
+- Each item's cost is assigned to its adder
+- Requires `list_id` and optionally `item_id`
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### 1. Lists
+
+- Expenses can be associated with shopping lists
+- Item-based splits use list items to determine splits
+- List's group context can determine split participants
+
+### 2. Groups
+
+- Expenses can be directly associated with groups
+- Group membership determines who can be included in splits
+- Group context is required if no list is specified
+
+### 3. Items
+
+- Expenses can be linked to specific items
+- Item prices are used for item-based splits
+- Items must belong to a list
+
+### 4. Users
+
+- Users can be payers, debtors, or payment recorders
+- User relationships are tracked in splits and settlements
+- User context is required for all financial operations
+
+## Key Operations
+
+### 1. Creating Expenses
+
+1. Validate context (list/group)
+2. Create expense record
+3. Generate splits based on split type
+4. Validate total amounts match
+5. Save all records in transaction
+
+### 2. Updating Expenses
+
+- Limited to non-financial fields:
+  - Description
+  - Currency
+  - Expense date
+- Uses optimistic locking via version field
+- Cannot modify splits after creation
+
+### 3. Recording Payments
+
+1. Create settlement activity
+2. Update split status
+3. Recalculate expense overall status
+4. All operations in single transaction
+
+### 4. Deleting Expenses
+
+- Requires version matching
+- Cascades to splits and settlements
+- All operations in single transaction
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Data Integrity**
+
+   - Always use transactions for multi-step operations
+   - Validate totals match before saving
+   - Use optimistic locking for updates
+
+2. **Error Handling**
+
+   - Handle database errors appropriately
+   - Validate user permissions
+   - Check for concurrent modifications
+
+3. **Performance**
+
+   - Use appropriate indexes
+   - Load relationships efficiently
+   - Batch operations when possible
+
+4. **Security**
+   - Validate user permissions
+   - Sanitize input data
+   - Use proper access controls
+
+## Common Use Cases
+
+1. **Group Dinner**
+
+   - Create expense with total amount
+   - Use equal split or exact amounts
+   - Record payments as they occur
+
+2. **Shopping List**
+
+   - Create item-based expense
+   - System automatically splits based on items
+   - Track payments per person
+
+3. **Rent Sharing**
+
+   - Create expense with total rent
+   - Use percentage or share-based split
+   - Record monthly payments
+
+4. **Trip Expenses**
+   - Create multiple expenses
+   - Mix different split types
+   - Track overall balances
+
+## Recurring Expenses
+
+Recurring expenses are expenses that repeat at regular intervals. They are useful for regular payments like rent, utilities, or subscription services.
+
+### Recurrence Types
+
+1. **Daily**
+
+   - Repeats every X days
+   - Example: Daily parking fee
+
+2. **Weekly**
+
+   - Repeats every X weeks on specific days
+   - Example: Weekly cleaning service
+
+3. **Monthly**
+
+   - Repeats every X months on the same date
+   - Example: Monthly rent payment
+
+4. **Yearly**
+   - Repeats every X years on the same date
+   - Example: Annual insurance premium
+
+### Implementation Details
+
+1. **Recurrence Pattern**
+
+   ```typescript
+   interface RecurrencePattern {
+   	type: "daily" | "weekly" | "monthly" | "yearly";
+   	interval: number; // Every X days/weeks/months/years
+   	daysOfWeek?: number[]; // For weekly recurrence (0-6, Sunday-Saturday)
+   	endDate?: string; // Optional end date for the recurrence
+   	maxOccurrences?: number; // Optional maximum number of occurrences
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Recurring Expense Properties**
+
+   - All standard expense properties
+   - `recurrence_pattern`: Defines how the expense repeats
+   - `next_occurrence`: When the next expense will be created
+   - `last_occurrence`: When the last expense was created
+   - `is_recurring`: Boolean flag to identify recurring expenses
+
+3. **Generation Process**
+
+   - System automatically creates new expenses based on the pattern
+   - Each generated expense is a regular expense with its own splits
+   - Original recurring expense serves as a template
+   - Generated expenses can be modified individually
+
+4. **Management Features**
+   - Pause/resume recurrence
+   - Modify future occurrences
+   - Skip specific occurrences
+   - End recurrence early
+   - View all generated expenses
+
+### Best Practices for Recurring Expenses
+
+1. **Data Management**
+
+   - Keep original recurring expense as template
+   - Generate new expenses in advance
+   - Clean up old generated expenses periodically
+
+2. **User Experience**
+
+   - Clear indication of recurring expenses
+   - Easy way to modify future occurrences
+   - Option to handle exceptions
+
+3. **Performance**
+   - Batch process expense generation
+   - Index recurring expense queries
+   - Cache frequently accessed patterns
+
+### Example Use Cases
+
+1. **Monthly Rent**
+
+   ```json
+   {
+   	"description": "Monthly Rent",
+   	"total_amount": "2000.00",
+   	"split_type": "PERCENTAGE",
+   	"recurrence_pattern": {
+   		"type": "monthly",
+   		"interval": 1,
+   		"endDate": "2024-12-31"
+   	}
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Weekly Cleaning Service**
+   ```json
+   {
+   	"description": "Weekly Cleaning",
+   	"total_amount": "150.00",
+   	"split_type": "EQUAL",
+   	"recurrence_pattern": {
+   		"type": "weekly",
+   		"interval": 1,
+   		"daysOfWeek": [1] // Every Monday
+   	}
+   }
+   ```
+
+## API Considerations
+
+1. **Decimal Handling**
+
+   - Use string representation for decimals in API
+   - Convert to Decimal for calculations
+   - Round to 2 decimal places for money
+
+2. **Date Handling**
+
+   - Use ISO format for dates
+   - Store in UTC
+   - Convert to local time for display
+
+3. **Status Updates**
+   - Update split status on payment
+   - Recalculate overall status
+   - Notify relevant users
+
+## Future Considerations
+
+1. **Potential Enhancements**
+
+   - Recurring expenses
+   - Bulk operations
+   - Advanced reporting
+   - Currency conversion
+
+2. **Scalability**
+
+   - Handle large groups
+   - Optimize for frequent updates
+   - Consider caching strategies
+
+3. **Integration**
+   - Payment providers
+   - Accounting systems
+   - Export capabilities
