Predict the expense category for a single ad-hoc expense input (description + optional vendor + optional amount). Returns category, subcategory, confidence (0–1), and the source of the prediction (per-user vendor map, platform-wide vendor map, keyword rules, or none). NOT a write — does not record the expense.
