Windfall

## What this models A one-time or recurring cash windfall — inheritance, bonus, lottery, legal settlement — added to the scenario's income in the year(s) it is received. ## Maps to module(s) - `windfall_v1` — set `amount`, `calendar_year`, `category` (one of "lottery", "gambling", "inheritance", "legal_settlement", "bonus", "other"), and `schedule` ("once" or "recurring"). For a recurring windfall set `duration_years`. Optionally tie it to a member with `member_id`. ## Information needed - The amount and the year it is first received. - Whether it is one-time or recurring (and for how many years if recurring). - The kind of windfall (maps to `category`). ## Defaults & assumptions - Default `schedule` to "once" unless the user describes it as recurring. - Map plain language to a category (e.g. "inheritance" → inheritance, "work bonus" → bonus). ## Prerequisites - A completed baseline plan. ## How to summarize to the user "A {ONCE/RECURRING} {CATEGORY} of {AMOUNT} starting in {YEAR}."
