v0.21.0: 3-Month Trend Indicator on Tracker

- Backend: 3-month payment aggregation with year-wrapping, trend object in API (direction, percent_change, 3_month_avg)
- Frontend: TrendIndicator component (arrow + percentage + label), TrendCard with purple gradient
- Bug fix: Bishop fixed 3-month query to JOIN through bills for user scoping (payments table has no user_id)
- Bug fix: Ripley removed duplicate TrendIndicator function definition
- Hudson security audit: 5/5 PASS (SQL injection, user scoping, date wrapping, division by zero, XSS)

-### 3-Month Trend Indicator with Up/Down Arrows
-**Priority:** MEDIUM  
-**Added:** 2026-05-08 by _null
-
-**Description:**
-Add trend indicators showing whether the last 3 months of payments went up or down compared to current month. Display as up/down arrow with percentage change.
-
-**Rationale:**
-Visual trend indicator helps users identify spending patterns without navigating to Analytics page.
-
-**Implementation Notes:**
-- Calculate 3-month rolling average
-- Compare current month vs. previous 3-month average
-- Show green up arrow if trending up (more paid), red down arrow if trending down
-- Display percentage change
-- Position in Tracker header or Summary card
-- Files likely to be modified: `routes/analytics.js` (new endpoint), `client/pages/TrackerPage.jsx` or `client/pages/SummaryPage.jsx`
-- Estimated effort: 4 hours
-
 ### Add loading skeletons and better async state management
