Leak detection
Fidelity autoinvest transfer hit $600 for the second time in a row: $600 on 8/17 (pending), 16 days after the first $600 on 8/1. Full history — $300/wk on 6/24, 7/1, 7/8, then a gap, then $600 on 8/1 and 8/17. Two consecutive $600 transfers confirm this is a real pattern shift (not a one-off misfire), but the ~16-day cadence is still irregular, not clean monthly. No Monarch write applicable (outbound investment transfer). Still needs your confirmation this is the intentional new amount before it goes into known-recurring.json.
Alma update: the four $150 charges from 8/16 flagged yesterday have now settled (no longer just pending auth holds) — the full $600 has posted. Still worth confirming with Alma/insurance whether 4 sessions were actually rendered before treating it as normal.
Rest of the window (8/11–8/18) was routine: Anthropic $137.90 (8/11, within usual range), payroll $1,431.21 and Expensify reimbursement deposit $1,128.27 (both 8/14), Preply $105.45 (8/16, matches known recurring), YouTube/Google $8.99 (8/16, pending with a truncated "GOOGLE" descriptor — matches the known $8.99 monthly amount and 31-day gap from the 7/16 charge, should resolve to the normal YouTube merchant once it settles), one-off Amazon purchases ($26.11 8/11, $26.21 8/12), and small restaurant/coffee/grocery charges (Trader Joe's $34.54, Matchaful $16.33, Earthbar $14.95, Inday $4.36, Bareburger $4.36, Poke Bowl $2.67).
Dedupe — already alerted, no repeat notification: Fansly two $10.00 charges (8/13), Lululemon $146.00 wrong-card (8/12), Intelius $38.43 escalation (8/11, still no further follow-up charge since).
Still-open single-occurrence watches with no confirmed recurrence: Strava $43.54, Superset $20.00, JetBrains $11.87, Volo Sports $111.53, Chelsea Skin & Laser $202.20, Sugaring NYC $43.05, Amazon US Prime $8.15.

Reimbursables
No untagged reimbursable charges found this window — no new MealPal/OpenAI/Equinox charges posted 8/11–8/18.
Checked all 8 currently-tagged reimbursable charges against the 45-day rule: none crossed the threshold today. Everything ≤45 days old (MealPal $151.34 7/16, Equinox $360.53 7/23, MealPal $151.34 7/29) is already accounted for by prior deposits or still within window; everything older (OpenAI 6/24, Equinox 6/23 & 6/10, MealPal 6/16 & 6/10) was already matched/resolved in earlier runs. Next threshold: MealPal $151.34 (7/16) turns 45 on 8/30.
Idle cash (weekly)
Skipped — not Monday.
Next run: daily 8:30am ET.
