Improve Category Selection UX and Consistency

When changing a transaction's category directly (without going through the Edit option), a floating window opens showing the full category list to choose from. If the list is long and the desired category sits near the bottom, finding it requires scrolling through the entire list manually. Adding a search box to this floating picker would let users type a few letters and jump straight to the category they want, rather than visually scanning the whole list.
There are currently two different interaction patterns for selecting a category on the same transaction:
1)Changing the category directly opens a floating/overlay window with the category list.
2)Clicking the Edit icon instead shows the category list inline within the transaction window itself.
Unify these into a single consistent pattern, ideally, present the category list inline in both cases rather than switching between an inline list and a floating overlay depending on entry point, or as a collapsible list. Combined with a search box, this would make category selection faster and more predictable regardless of which path the user takes to get there.
