Allowance automation

Status: 🧩 Needs SDK

Scope​

An admin can configure a recurring allowance for any member: amount, frequency (weekly/monthly), and destination envelope (defaults to Unallocated). Allowance is a ledger credit triggered by a scheduled job, not tied to chore completion. Distinct from earning. Pairs with the envelope model.

Open questions​

  • Is allowance configured per-member or as a household-wide template?
  • Does allowance land in Unallocated (consistent with earn path) or can admin route it directly?
  • What triggers the allowance payout server-side — Supabase scheduled Edge Function or cron?
  • Can allowance be paused per-member (e.g. temporarily withheld as a consequence)?

Relationship​

Money & Envelopes — allowance is a ledger credit into the member's envelope stack.
