feat: add comprehensive TUI documentation, tests, and improved help

- Add detailed --help text for TUI command with navigation instructions
- Create comprehensive TUI documentation in docs/TUI.md
- Add unit tests for UTF-8 string handling and float formatting
- Add tests for percentage and net worth calculations
- Document known limitation: cash balance is simplified estimate
- Fix test module structure and imports

The TUI now has proper documentation explaining all features,
keyboard shortcuts, and technical implementation details.

+# Spendr Terminal User Interface (TUI)
+
+The Spendr TUI provides a Mint.com-inspired terminal interface for viewing and managing your financial data.
+
+## Features
+
+### Dashboard View
+- **Net Worth Display**: Shows total net worth with cash and investment breakdowns
+- **Cash Flow Visualization**: Income vs expenses with visual progress bars
+- **Top Spending Categories**: Your highest spending categories with progress indicators
+- **Budget Status**: Real-time budget tracking with visual warnings
+- **Recent Transactions**: Quick view of your latest 20 transactions
+
+### Transactions View
+- **Complete History**: Browse ALL your transactions (up to 100,000)
+- **Search Functionality**: Filter transactions by description or category
+- **Smart Scrolling**: Viewport automatically follows your selection
+- **Transaction Details**: View full details of selected transaction
+- **UTF-8 Support**: Handles international characters properly
+
+### Budgets View
+- **Budget Overview**: See all your budget categories
+- **Visual Progress**: Progress bars show spending vs budget
+- **Status Indicators**: Color-coded warnings for overspending
+
+### Investments View
+- **Portfolio Summary**: Total market value and book value
+- **Unrealized Gains**: Track your investment performance
+- **Account Breakdown**: View each investment account
+
+## Navigation
+
+### Keyboard Shortcuts
+
+| Key | Action |
+|-----|--------|
+| `Tab` / `Shift+Tab` | Switch between views |
+| `j` / `↓` | Move down in lists |
+| `k` / `↑` | Move up in lists |
+| `/` | Search transactions |
+| `?` | Show/hide help |
+| `q` | Quit TUI |
+
+### View Shortcuts
+
+| Key | View |
+|-----|------|
+| `d` | Dashboard |
+| `t` | Transactions |
+| `b` | Budgets |
+| `i` | Investments |
+| `r` | Refresh data |
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### Architecture
+- Built with `ratatui` and `crossterm` for cross-platform terminal support
+- Event-driven architecture with 250ms tick rate
+- Stateful widgets for proper list scrolling
+- Robust error handling for edge cases
+
+### Data Handling
+- Loads all transactions for complete visibility
+- Handles NaN/infinity values gracefully
+- UTF-8 aware string truncation
+- Efficient memory usage with reference passing
+
+### Known Limitations
+- Transaction categorization not yet implemented in TUI
+- Budget editing must be done via CLI
+- Search is case-insensitive substring matching
+- Investment data requires prior import
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### TUI Crashes
+- If the TUI crashes with formatting errors, it's likely due to invalid float values
+- The latest version includes safeguards against NaN/infinity values
+- Report any crashes with the error message
+
+### Display Issues
+- Ensure your terminal supports UTF-8
+- Minimum terminal size: 80x24 characters
+- Use a monospace font for proper alignment
+
+### Performance
+- Large transaction databases (>50,000) may have slight lag
+- Initial load time depends on database size
+- Scrolling is optimized for smooth navigation
+
+## Future Enhancements
+- Transaction editing within TUI
+- Budget management interface
+- Category assignment shortcuts
+- Export functionality
+- Custom date range filters
+- Transaction charts and graphs
