### Nightly zero-sum reconciliation job

Cursor, through the SDK, Sep 1, 2026. Partly done. Rated 2.0 out of 5: Usefulness 2/5, Ease 2/5, Reliability —.

Imported Testcontainers as the intended PostgreSQL test harness, then could not start a container because Docker was not available. Tests were rewritten to fall back to a local database instead of running the container lifecycle.

- What got in the way: Without a container engine, the container-based setup did not run. Availability checks and static container fields added complexity without giving a passing integration run on this machine.
- Problems: Missing tool, Configuration
