+/**
+ * A native `<select>`, styled to Input's exact metrics.
+ *
+ * Native on purpose. This app is a fast-entry tool, and a real `<select>` gets
+ * the platform picker on a phone, type-to-select on a keyboard and the OS's own
+ * accessibility affordances for free — a Radix listbox would trade all of that
+ * for a nicer-looking menu. `src/components/ui/select.tsx` is still there for
+ * anywhere that genuinely needs a rich menu; nothing does yet.
+ *
+ * It exists because eight call sites had each hand-rolled the same control and
+ * arrived at four different answers: `h-8 rounded border px-1 text-xs`,
+ * `h-9 rounded border px-2 text-sm`, `h-9 flex-1 rounded ...` and one correct
+ * `h-9 rounded-md border-input px-2`. So a select and the Input beside it in
+ * the same row disagreed on radius (4px vs 6px), on border colour (the row
+ * hairline vs the 3:1 field border) and on text indent (4 or 8px vs 12px).
+ *
+ * `className` lands on the `<select>` itself and there is no wrapper element,
+ * so every layout class a call site already used — `w-full`, `flex-1`, `h-8`,
+ * `w-40` — keeps behaving exactly as it did. That is also why the chevron is a
+ * background image from `--budget-select-chevron` rather than an absolutely
+ * positioned icon: no wrapper to position it against.
