+1. ✅ Add inspection methods to `TransactionSource` and `TransactionDestination` traits:
    - `list_accounts()`: Return account summaries
    - `get_account_status()`: Return sync status for accounts
    - `get_transaction_info()`: Return transaction metadata
    - `get_cache_info()`: Return caching status
-2. Update existing adapters (GoCardless, Firefly) to implement new methods
-3. Define serializable response structs in `core::models` for inspection data
-4. Ensure all new methods handle errors gracefully with `anyhow`
+2. ✅ Update existing adapters (GoCardless, Firefly) to implement new methods
+3. ✅ Define serializable response structs in `core::models` for inspection data
+4. ✅ Ensure all new methods handle errors gracefully with `anyhow`
 
 **Testing:**
 - Unit tests for trait implementations on existing adapters
 - Mock tests for new inspection methods
 - Integration tests verifying data serialization
 
-### Phase 3: Adapter Factory Implementation
+**Implementation Details:**
+- Added `AccountSummary`, `AccountStatus`, `TransactionInfo`, and `CacheInfo` structs with `Serialize` and `Debug` traits
+- Extended both `TransactionSource` and `TransactionDestination` traits with inspection methods
+- Implemented methods in `GoCardlessAdapter` using existing client calls and cache data
+- Implemented methods in `FireflyAdapter` using existing client calls
+- All code formatted with `cargo fmt` and linted with `cargo clippy`
+- Existing tests pass; new methods compile but not yet tested due to CLI not implemented
+
+### Phase 3: Account Linking and Management ✅ COMPLETED
+
+**Objective**: Implement comprehensive account linking between sources and destinations to enable reliable sync, with auto-linking where possible and manual overrides.
+
+**Steps:**
+1. ✅ Create `core::linking` module with data structures:
+   - `AccountLink`: Links source account ID to destination account ID with metadata
+   - `LinkStore`: Persistent storage for links, aliases, and account registries
+   - Auto-linking logic (IBAN/name similarity scoring)
+
+2. ✅ Extend adapters with account discovery:
+   - `TransactionSource::discover_accounts()`: Full account list without filtering
+   - `TransactionDestination::discover_accounts()`: Full account list
+
+3. ✅ Implement linking management:
+   - Auto-link on sync/account discovery (IBAN/name matches)
+   - CLI commands: `banks2ff accounts link list`, `banks2ff accounts link create <source_account> <dest_account>`, `banks2ff accounts link delete <link_id>`
+   - Alias support: `banks2ff accounts alias set <link_id> <alias>`, `banks2ff accounts alias update <link_id> <new_alias>`
+
+4. ✅ Integrate with sync:
+   - Always discover accounts during sync and update stores
+   - Use links in `run_sync()` instead of IBAN-only matching
+   - Handle unlinked accounts (skip with warning or prompt for manual linking)
+
+5. ✅ Update CLI help text:
+   - Explain linking process in `banks2ff accounts --help`
+   - Note that sync auto-discovers and attempts linking
+
+**Testing:**
+- Unit tests for auto-linking algorithms
+- Integration tests for various account scenarios (IBAN matches, name matches, no matches)
+- Persistence tests for link store
+- CLI tests for link management commands
+
+**Implementation Details:**
+- Created `core::linking` with `LinkStore` using nested `HashMap`s for organized storage by adapter type
+- Extended traits with `discover_accounts()` and implemented in GoCardless/Firefly adapters
+- Integrated account discovery and auto-linking into `run_sync()` with persistent storage
+- Added CLI commands under `banks2ff accounts link` with full CRUD operations and alias support
+- Updated README with new account linking feature, examples, and troubleshooting
+
+### Phase 4: CLI Output and Formatting
+
+**Objective**: Implement user-friendly output for inspection commands.
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Create `cli::formatters` module for consistent output formatting
+2. Implement table-based display for accounts and transactions
+3. Add JSON output option for programmatic use
+4. Ensure sensitive data masking in all outputs
+5. Add progress indicators for long-running operations
+6. Implement `accounts` command with `list` and `status` subcommands
+7. Implement `transactions` command with `list`, `cache-status`, and `clear-cache` subcommands
+8. Add account and transaction inspection methods to adapter traits
+
+**Testing:**
+- Unit tests for formatter functions
+- Integration tests for CLI output with sample data
+- Accessibility tests for output readability
+- Unit tests for new command implementations
+- Integration tests for account/transaction inspection
+
+### Phase 5: Status and Cache Management
+
+**Objective**: Implement status overview and cache management commands.
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Implement `status` command aggregating data from all adapters
+2. Add cache inspection and clearing functionality to `transactions cache-status` and `transactions clear-cache`
+3. Create status models for sync health metrics
+4. Integrate with existing debug logging infrastructure
+
+**Testing:**
+- Unit tests for status aggregation logic
+- Integration tests for cache operations
+- Mock tests for status data collection
+
+### Phase 6: Sync Logic Updates
+
+**Objective**: Make sync logic adapter-agnostic and reusable.
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Modify `core::sync::run_sync()` to accept source/destination traits instead of concrete types
+2. Update sync result structures to include inspection data
+3. Refactor account processing to work with any `TransactionSource`
+4. Ensure dry-run mode works with all adapter types
+
+**Testing:**
+- Unit tests for sync logic with mock adapters
+- Integration tests with different source/destination combinations
+- Regression tests ensuring existing functionality unchanged
