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”):

  • node tests/engine.test.js → 36 PASS / 0 FAIL (+ tests/ui.smoke.js 17/17, SMOKE-OK)
  • Repo pushed → https://gitea.krisforbes.ca/krisf/retire-planner (branch main)
  • retireapp container Up on Unraid :8103, serving marker <!-- retire-planner v1 -->
  • Caddyfile block added; caddy validate clean; CaddyV2 restarted Up
  • CF CNAME retire → dyn created, grey cloud (proxied:false)
  • Off-LAN curl https://retire.krisforbes.ca/ → 200 + marker
  • Vision gallery: 13 images generated via nano-gpt z-image-turbo (list price ≈ $0.155)
  • REPORT.md committed + pushed
  • “100% client-side — answers never leave your browser” on site (intro pill + results footer)

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)..
