fix pass after the batch check — Apartment (1 bedroom), Airbnb (1 month), Coworking Space, Housing, Utilities, Groceries, Transportation, Dining Out, Leisure Activities, Health Insurance and Doctor Visit (GP) realigned so every converted price and monthly total equals its formula at the recorded exchange rate; Ride-hailing (5km) and Visa & Legal Fees notes now spell out the taxi base distance and the documents share of the amortised residence title (rates and sources unchanged)
