After setup, verify these to ensure everything works:
□ Backend starts without errors
□ Recurring splits endpoints appear in Swagger
□ Can create a recurring split via API
□ Database table created with indexes
□ Tests pass: npm test -- --testPathPattern=recurring-splits
□ Scheduler logs show "Initialized" messages
□ WebSocket notifications work
□ Can pause/resume splits
□ Template editing affects future splits
□ Cron jobs execute on schedule
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Endpoints not showing in Swagger | Check RecurringSplitsModule is imported in app.module.ts |
| Splits not generating | Check scheduler logs, run POST /process-now manually |
| Tests failing | Ensure all dependencies installed, check mock setup |
| Database errors | Run migration: npm run typeorm migration:run |
| WebSocket not working | Verify PaymentGateway is initialized, check socket.io connection |
