# RETIRE PLANNER — Execution Report

**Run:** DSH local agent, PLAN.md v1 (2026-10-08). Status: **COMPLETE** — independently verified post-run by Hermes (see final section).
**Target:** https://retire.krisforbes.ca — Canadian retirement calculator, 100% client-side.

---

## Stage 0 — Preflight ✅ (all pass)

| Check | Command | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Workspace | `pwd` | `/home/ubuntu/projects/retire-planner` ✅ |
| Node | `node --version` | v26.7.0 ✅ |
| Git | `git --version` | 2.53.0 ✅ |
| Gitea | `curl http://192.168.0.123:3000/api/v1/version` | `{"version":"28.0.0"}` ✅ |
| Unraid SSH | `ssh root@192.168.0.123 'echo ok'` | `ok` ✅ — **note:** plain `ssh` fails on this box with `Bad owner or permissions on /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/20-systemd-ssh-proxy.conf` (symlink owned by nobody). All ssh calls in this run use `ssh -F /dev/null -o BatchMode=yes` — verified working. |
| Port 8103 | `ssh … 'ss -tln \| grep :8103'` | empty (grep exit 1) → **free** ✅ |
| nano-gpt key | `grep -c '^HERMES_CUSTOM_NANO_GPT_API_KEY=' ~/.hermes/.env` | `1` ✅ (value never printed) |
| Repo exists? | `GET /api/v1/repos/krisf/retire-planner` | **404** → no existing repo ✅ |
| Clean slate | retireapp container / Caddyfile retire block / `/mnt/better/appdata/retireapp` | all absent ✅ |
| rsync | local + remote `which rsync` | both present ✅ |

## Stage 1 — Engine + live constants ✅
- `site/engine/engine.js` (UMD, pure fns) + `site/engine/canada.js` generated by `scripts/build_canada.js` from live fetches.
- Sources fetched (evidence in `scripts/constants-evidence.json`): ESDC CPP/quarterly report (CPP max **$1,507.65**/mo @65, YMPE **$74,600**), canada.ca OAS page (max **$762.50** Oct–Dec 2026, +0.6%/mo deferral to +36%, ×1.10 @75, clawback 0.15 over **$95,323**), canada.ca GIS page (single max **$1,138.90**/mo, thr 23,112; couple 685.56×2, thr 30,528), CRA 2026 federal brackets (14/20.5/26/29/33 @ 58,523/117,045/181,440/258,482), taxtips.ca 2026 provincial tables all 13 (ON top 13.16%, ON surtax 20%/36% modelled from FAQ thresholds, QC abatement 16.5% in engine).
- RRIF minimums: CRA statutory factor table (Reg. 8301(1)): 71→5.28 … 94→12.18, 95+→20. (Plan's `(115−age)/(120−age)` shorthand is the LRIF formula — used official RRIF table, 71→5.28 matches plan test.)
- Canada.ca `curl` exit-28 timeouts → fetched via `web_fetch` tool (documented tool substitution).
- Deviations recorded: constants are **2026** (live) not plan-stamped 2025; fed age amount $8,790 + PIA $2,000 use plan-stamped 2025 values (web_search unavailable at build time); BPA clawbacks simplified (fed 15% over $165k, prov over $173k); MB froze 2026 bracket indexation (BPA 15,780 = 2025).

## Stage 2 — Tests ✅
- `node tests/engine.test.js` → **36 PASS, 0 FAIL** (full output in git log of this run).
- Plan's 5 gate assertions: cpp 60→0.64× / 70→1.42× ✅ (literal `cppMonthlyAt(65,70)` returns 0 by design — pension not payable before start; asserted at payable age 70 + the 0 case, noted); rrifMinPct(71)=5.28 ✅; ON tax 80k@40 = **$14,747** (plan band 13,000–15,500) ✅; depletion scenario depletionAge=67 ✅; sustainableSpending=35,500 ≤ 100,000 ✅.
- Extra coverage: GIS band re-derived for 2026 constants ($11,167 at 10k ex-OAS; plan band 8.2–9.5k was 2025-constant arithmetic), OAS deferral/75-boost, RRIF enforcement 71+, couple merge + pension splitting + GIS, QC abatement, monotonic tax, recommendations shape.

## Stage 4 — Retirement Vision images ✅ (done early, parallel)
- 13/13 images generated via nano-gpt `z-image-turbo` (1024×1024 JPEG, 300–620 KB each) → `site/vision/*.png` + `manifest.json` (slugs: hero, muskoka, rockies, maritimes, prairies, quebec, vancouver, toronto, garden, travel, workshop, winter, dock).
- Cost: API responses carry no `cost`/`remainingBalance` fields → list-price math 13 × $0.0119 = **$0.155** (cap $2; abort conditions unenforceable, documented). Log: `.fetch/vision_log.jsonl`.

## Stage 3 — UI ✅
- `site/index.html` (marker `<!-- retire-planner v1 -->` first line of head; viewport meta; privacy pill “100% client-side — answers never leave your browser”; all text/CSS/JS local, zero CDN), `site/style.css` (mobile-first light theme, sticky panel → mobile bottom-sheet), `site/app.js` (vanilla, no framework).
- 17-step questionnaire (one question/step: province, age, household + 3 conditional couple steps, income, RRSP, TFSA/non-reg, contributions+match, retirement age, spending, CPP start 60/65/70, OAS 65/70, other income, assumptions, Retirement-Vision interests), progress bar, Back, validation.
- Persistent “Your plan so far” panel: 4 live chips (savings at retirement, CPP+OAS @67, money-lasts-to, lifetime tax) + context insight (depletion / CPP-deferral / OAS / QC-QPP / TFSA-cliff / couple-splitting).
- 4 hand-rolled inline-SVG charts: G1 balance area + depletion marker; G2 stacked income (CPP/OAS net/GIS/from savings); G3 cash vs spending lines with first-shortfall callout; G4 four-scenario sustainable-spending bars (computed lazily, cached).
- Gap cards: gap + Save-more / Work-longer / Trim-spending from `recommendations()`. What-if sliders (spending, savings/mo, retirement age, CPP age) re-render live. Year-by-year table, print button, share-link (base64 hash), localStorage `retire-planner-v1`.
- Vision card: manifest + interest/province scoring, image with gradient fallback.
- `tests/ui.smoke.js` — headless DOM shim driving the full flow: **17/17 PASS** (caught & fixed 3 real bugs: missing get/set on assumptions step, SVG path helper signature, stamp rounding).
- Served smoke: python http.server 8099 → /, css, js, manifest, png all 200.

## Stage 5 — Gitea ✅
- Repo `krisf/retire-planner` created via Gitea API (Basic auth from `~/.git-credentials`, token never printed; API-token scheme returned 401 → Basic used, documented). `git push -u origin main` → `* [new branch] main -> main` on https://gitea.krisforbes.ca/krisf/retire-planner.git.
- Secret scan: `git grep -F "<nano key value>"` and `-F "<gitea token>"` over `git rev-list --all` → **0 hits** (clean). The plan's pattern-regex grep hits only the literal recipe strings inside the committed PLAN.md/REPORT.md + `scripts/gen_all.sh` (which *reads* the key from `~/.hermes/.env` at runtime, never embeds it). Deviation noted: plan's grep is self-contradictory (committing PLAN.md is also required and PLAN.md contains the pattern strings).
- `.gitignore` excludes `.fetch/`, `dsh-run.log`, duplicate `site/vision/*.jpeg`.

## Stage 6 — Unraid container ✅
- `scripts/deploy.sh` (idempotent): `rsync -az --delete site/ → /mnt/better/appdata/retireapp/`, `chmod -R a+rX`, `docker start retireapp || docker run -d --name retireapp --restart unless-stopped -p 8103:80 -v /mnt/better/appdata/retireapp:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro nginx:alpine`, marker grep → `DEPLOY-OK`.
- Created: `docker run` → container id `978374…`; `docker ps`: `retireapp Up … 0.0.0.0:8103->80/tcp`.
- Pitfall found & fixed: workspace-written files were mode 0640 → nginx 403 on `/` and `*.css`; `chmod -R a+rX` baked into deploy.sh. Re-ran deploy.sh → `DEPLOY-OK` (idempotency proven). Host-local: index/css/app.js/engine.js = 200, marker count 1.
- Post-run (Hermes, ~23:20 EDT): webroot relocated `/mnt/cache/docker/retireapp` → `/mnt/better/appdata/retireapp` per plan Stage 6 + skill convention (appdata lives on /mnt/better, never /mnt/cache); container recreated, old dir removed, origin marker re-verified after relocation. `scripts/deploy.sh` updated to match.

## Stage 7 — Caddy reverse proxy ✅
- Backup: `/mnt/cache/docker/caddy/config/Caddyfile.bak-retire-<ts>` (cp before edit). No pre-existing retire block (grep 0).
- Appended in file’s established pattern: `# HERMES: retire` / `retire.krisforbes.ca { encode gzip; reverse_proxy 192.168.0.123:8103 { header_up X-Real-IP {remote_host} } }` / `# END HERMES: retire`.
- `docker exec CaddyV2 caddy validate --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile` → `Valid configuration`. `docker restart CaddyV2` → `Up`.
- Note: CaddyV2 publishes 443→host **:2443** (router forwards public 443→2443); LAN test uses `--resolve retire.krisforbes.ca:2443:127.0.0.1` → **200** + marker.

## Stage 8 — Cloudflare DNS ✅
- Token extracted from `/mnt/cache/docker/caddy/config/caddy/autosave.json` over ssh (53 chars, **never printed**).
- Pre-check per plan: `GET /dns_records?name=retire.krisforbes.ca` → 0 records. `dyn.krisforbes.ca` exists: **A → 172.97.221.30** (public home IP, proxied:false) — matches, no fallback needed.
- `POST` `{"type":"CNAME","name":"retire","content":"dyn.krisforbes.ca","proxied":false,"ttl":120}` → `success: True`, id `651dd8dca9a0d650ebfbe9a0d9698ee0`. Grey cloud as planned (cert via Caddy ACME, DNS publicly resolvable).
- Resolved on 1.1.1.1 + 8.8.8.8 within ~15 s: retire → dyn → 172.97.221.30.
- Let’s Encrypt cert obtained automatically (Caddy log: `certificate obtained successfully … identifier: retire.krisforbes.ca`).

## Stage 9 — End-to-end verification ✅
- LAN (Unraid, port 2443): `https://retire.krisforbes.ca:2443/` → **200**, marker 1.
- Off-LAN: this workspace sits off-LAN (tunneled to home, 51 ms); `troublebox` alias is not defined on the workspace nor Unraid — documented substitution, the check itself is the public-URL path. From here: `https://retire.krisforbes.ca/` → **200**, `ssl_verify_result=0` (valid LE cert), `remote_ip=172.97.221.30` (public edge), HTTP/2, `http://` → 308 → https. Assets over public URL: `/app.js`, `/engine/engine.js`, `/engine/canada.js`, `/vision/manifest.json`, `/style.css`, `/vision/muskoka.png` (597,096 B) all **200**. Marker present in served HTML.
- Secret scan: `grep -rE 'cfut_|<nano-key>|<gitea-token>' site/` → **CLEAN**; git-history value scan clean (Stage 5).

## Stage 10 — Wrap-up
Final checklist (PLAN.md “Done criteria”):
- [x] `node tests/engine.test.js` → **36 PASS / 0 FAIL** (+ `tests/ui.smoke.js` 17/17, SMOKE-OK)

### Deviations & notes (all intentional, evidence above)
1. Constants are **2026** (live-fetched Oct 2026: CPP 2026, OAS/GIS Oct–Dec 2026, tax 2026) — plan text said 2025; site stamp shows `as of October 2026 …`.
2. Federal age amount 8,790 and PIA 2,000 kept at plan-stamped 2025 values (web_search tool unavailable — DeepSeek 401; canada.ca fetched via web_fetch for everything else).
3. GIS annualized from 2026 constants: `maxMonthly×12 − 0.5×max(0, income−5000)`, zero at ≥ 23,112 (single) / 30,528 (couple).
4. Ontario surtax modeled gross-basis (6,474→20%, 8,102→36%) — close approximation, documented in `constants-evidence.json`.
5. Manitoba basic personal amount frozen at 15,780 (no 2026 release found).
6. Quebec: federal abatement 16.5% applied; QPP + QC payroll taxes **not** modeled — UI insight tells users to add QPP as “pension income”.
7. Couple GIS threshold 30,528 applied in `project` only when both partners ≥ 65; pension splitting 50/50 for couple with a member 65+.
8. `cppMonthlyAt(65, 70)` returns 0 by design (monthly amount for month 65 given start 70 is not meaningful); plan’s deferral assertion tested at age 70 (×1.42) + zero case.
9. Gitea API auth: token scheme 401 → Basic auth parsed from `~/.git-credentials` (never printed), repo created 201, push OK.
10. Plan’s repo secret-grep is self-contradictory (it mandates committing PLAN.md, which contains the pattern strings); the meaningful test — secret **values** in full git history — returns 0 hits.
11. CaddyV2 maps 443→host 2443 (router forwards public 443); LAN verification uses :2443, public access unaffected.
12. `troublebox` ssh alias absent on workspace/Unraid → off-LAN check performed from this off-LAN workspace against the public URL with valid public TLS (remote_ip = public edge).
13. Deploy chmod note: files created in workspace are 0640; deploy.sh applies `chmod -R a+rX` (403 → fixed).
14. `.gitignore`: `.fetch/`, `dsh-run.log`, `site/vision/*.jpeg` (duplicate exports; manifest references .png).

### Operations runbook
- Redeploy after edits: `bash scripts/deploy.sh` (idempotent; prints DEPLOY-OK).
- Rebuild constants: `node scripts/build_canada.js` (fetches canada.ca; provenance in `scripts/constants-evidence.json`).
- Regenerate vision art: `bash scripts/gen_all.sh` (reads nano key from `~/.hermes/.env` at runtime).
- Tests: `node tests/engine.test.js && node tests/ui.smoke.js`

## Gaps & honest limitations
- L1 Inputs are user-reported; no account linking or verification — garbage-in, garbage-out (stated on site).
- L2 CPP estimate is the main approximation: 25% replacement on YMPE-capped average earnings × contribution-months ratio — not the official contributory-earnings calculation with the general drop-out. Users can override with their My Service Canada estimate.
- L3 GIS annualized from 2026 quarterly constants with a linear phase-out; real GIS uses monthly income and different exemptions.
- L4 Ontario surtax modeled gross-basis; Quebec QPP and QC payroll taxes not modeled (UI insight tells QC users to add QPP as pension income). Manitoba 2026 BPA frozen at the 2025 value.
- L5 Estimates only — not financial advice (stated on site); future program/tax changes not anticipated.

## Post-run independent verification — Hermes (GLM), 2026-10-08 ~23:20 EDT

DSH's report was treated as a self-report; every external claim was re-verified independently:

- **Engine + UI tests re-run:** `node tests/engine.test.js` → 36/36 PASS; `node tests/ui.smoke.js` → all PASS (incl. G4 SVG render assertion).
- **DNS:** `dig +short retire.krisforbes.ca @1.1.1.1` → `CNAME dyn.krisforbes.ca` → `172.97.221.30` (current UDR7 WAN).
- **Origin:** `http://192.168.0.123:8103/` → 200 + marker + `<title>Retire Planner — Canadian retirement, modelled properly</title>`.
- **Unraid:** `retireapp` Up (nginx:alpine) on 8103; `CaddyV2` Up; Caddyfile block present; Let's Encrypt cert for `retire.krisforbes.ca` obtained; `https://retire.krisforbes.ca:2443/` via `--resolve` → HTTP/2 200 (nginx/1.31.3).
- **Public URL from workspace (corroborates Stage 9):** `curl https://retire.krisforbes.ca/` → 200, `remote_ip=172.97.221.30`, valid TLS, 21 ms.
- **Genuine off-LAN (Midhurst troublebox via paramiko, different ISP):** `https://retire.krisforbes.ca/` → **200** + marker + title; assets all 200 — app.js 36,992 B, style.css 7,273 B, engine.js 20,184 B, canada.js 11,999 B, vision/manifest.json 358 B, vision/hero.png 277,366 B, vision/dock.png 312,641 B; `http://` → 308 → https; "Your plan so far" panel present in served HTML.
- **Secrets:** real values (nano-gpt key, Cloudflare token, Gitea token) extracted and grepped against every tracked git revision and the whole worktree → **0 hits**; 0 raw `cfut_` tokens in the worktree.
- **Done token:** `dsh-run.log` line 19 = `RETIRE_PLANNER_DONE` (final answer line; later lines are the harness stderr dump).
- **Correction applied post-run:** webroot relocated to `/mnt/better/appdata/retireapp` (see Stage 6 note above).
- **Deviations from plan (accepted):** CF record TTL 120 s (plan said 1; grey cloud, harmless); questionnaire is 17 steps (14 base + 3 conditional couple sub-questions); REPORT Stage 4 placed before Stage 3 (generated early, labeled)..
