Subject: [PATCH] Enhance cospend monthly expenses chart with improved UX
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add monthly total labels above each bar showing cumulative expense amounts
- Improve chart styling: white labels, larger fonts, clean flat tooltip design
- Hide Y-axis ticks and grid lines for cleaner appearance
- Capitalize category names in legend and tooltips
- Show only hovered category in tooltip instead of all categories
- Trim empty months from start of data for users with limited history
- Create responsive layout: balance and chart side-by-side on wide screens
- Increase max width to 1400px for dashboard while keeping recent activity at 800px
- Filter out settlements from monthly expenses view
