Summary

Replaces all hardcoded personally identifiable information (PII) in tracked files with template variables to prepare the codebase for public distribution. This is Phase 1, Plan 1 of the git history scrub and security foundation work.

Key Changes

Account & Financial Data:

  • Replaced Fidelity account number Z05724592 with {account_id} in file patterns and documentation
  • Replaced Google Sheets spreadsheet ID 1HtHRP3CbnOePb8RQ0RwzFYOQxk0uWC6L8ZMJeQYfWk4 with {spreadsheet_id} in all references
  • Updated CSV file path templates: Balances_for_Account_{account_id}.csv, History_for_Account_{account_id}.csv

Personal References:

  • Replaced personal names (Ossie Irondi, Ossie) with {user_name} template variable in code, configs, and documentation
  • Replaced employer names (Avanade, CBN) with {employer_name} template variable in 401(k) and employer-specific contexts
  • Replaced personal email addresses and domain names with generic examples (user@example.com, example.com)

Configuration & Documentation:

  • Updated .gitignore to broadly protect **/user-profile.yaml and .onboarding-progress.json across the repo tree
  • Updated skill documentation, workflows, and backend guidelines to use template variables
  • Updated meeting notes, specs, and planning documents to remove hardcoded personal references
  • Added {llc_name} template variable for LLC references

Files Modified:

  • 21+ tracked files across hooks, skills, workflows, documentation, and planning
  • Backend dev guidelines (architecture, configuration, middleware, testing examples)
  • Portfolio syncing, transaction syncing, dividend tracking, and margin management skills
  • Planning documents and meeting notes

Implementation Details

  • No OS-level paths modified: Paths like /Users/ossieirondi/ are preserved; they will be handled by git-filter-repo in Plan 2
  • Template variable consistency: Used consistent naming ({account_id}, {spreadsheet_id}, {user_name}, {employer_name}, {llc_name}) across all files
  • Documentation examples: Updated example code and test cases to use generic placeholders while maintaining clarity
  • Backward compatibility: Changes are additive to .gitignore; no breaking changes to existing functionality

Verification

All tracked files have been verified to contain zero instances of:

  • Literal account numbers
  • Literal Google Sheets IDs
  • Hardcoded personal names (except template variable references)
  • Employer names in PII context
  • Personal email addresses and domains

This prepares the working tree for Plan 2 (git-filter-repo history rewrite) and enables safe public distribution of the codebase.

169-208: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

CI/audit grep patterns also include placeholders and will false‑positive.
SPECIFIC_PATTERNS and the CI grep regex both include placeholder tokens, so the checks will fail on any repo that uses templated placeholders (by design). Update these patterns to target real values or format-based regexes, and avoid placeholders entirely.

🤖 Fix all issues with AI agents
In @.claude/hooks/load-fin-core-config.ts:
- Line 178: The current getLatestFile call for latestBalances uses a regex that
literally contains "{account_id}", so real files like
Balances_for_Account_12345.csv are never matched; update the pattern passed to
getLatestFile (or interpolate the real ID from config) to match a non-PII
wildcard instead of the literal token. For example, replace the regex
/^Balances_for_Account_{account_id}\.csv$/ with a pattern that matches an
account segment (e.g., /^Balances_for_Account_[^/]+\.csv$/ or
/^Balances_for_Account_\d+\.csv$/) or build the regex using the configured
accountId (from your config variable) when safe, ensuring
getLatestFile('updatesDir', pattern) will find real balance files without
embedding sensitive data.

In @.dev/specs/backlog/finance-guru-user-onboarding-and-public-release.md:
- Around line 542-546: The integration table entry for "fin-guru config" is
ambiguous—replace the contradictory phrase “Remove `author: {user_name}`, add
`{user_name}`” with a single precise description of the change to
fin-guru/config.yaml, e.g. state that the hardcoded "author" field is removed
and replaced by a top-level user name placeholder; update the table cell for
"fin-guru config" to read something like “Replace hardcoded author field with
top-level {user_name} placeholder in fin-guru/config.yaml” and ensure the
“Breaking Changes” column still notes removal of hardcoded author.

In @.planning/phases/01-git-history-scrub-security-foundation/01-01-PLAN.md:
- Around line 26-29: The verification steps currently grep for literal
placeholders like "{account_id}", "{spreadsheet_id}", "{user_name}" and employer
names, which will always match the scrubbed docs; update the checks to either
(a) use realistic PII regex patterns (e.g., numeric account-number formats,
Google Sheet ID regex, real-name patterns) instead of the placeholder strings or
(b) modify the grep patterns to explicitly exclude the placeholders (e.g.,
negative lookahead for "{...}" or an exact-string exclusion), and apply the same
change to the other occurrences referenced (the blocks around lines 122-129,
215-219, 230-233) so verification targets true PII or ignores template tokens.

In @.planning/phases/01-git-history-scrub-security-foundation/01-02-PLAN.md:
- Around line 72-98: The expressions file currently contains placeholders like
literal:{account_id}, literal:{spreadsheet_id}, literal:{llc_name},
literal:{user_name} which will not match and scrub real historical PII; update
the actual pii-replacements.txt used by git-filter-repo to include the real
literal values or robust regex patterns (e.g., concrete account numbers,
specific spreadsheet IDs, exact LLC and personal names or appropriate regexes)
instead of placeholders, leaving placeholder examples only in documentation;
ensure entries referenced in the diff (literal:{account_id},
literal:{spreadsheet_id}, literal:{llc_name}, literal:{user_name}) are replaced
with real values or strong regexes so git-filter-repo will detect and redact
historical commits.
- Around line 191-196: The verification grep in Step 4 (the SPECIFIC_COUNT
assignment) is using placeholder tokens like "{account_id}", "{llc_name}",
"{spreadsheet_id}", "{personal_email_1}" which are present in the working tree
and will make the check always non-zero; update all verification snippets (Step
4, other "verify" blocks, the checkpoint, and final verification) to search for
the actual secret literals or robust regex patterns that match real PII formats
instead of placeholder tokens, e.g., replace the placeholder patterns in the git
log | grep -ciE invocation referenced by SPECIFIC_COUNT with either the real
identifiers or format-based regexes (emails, account IDs, spreadsheet IDs, and
the known hash) so the count is accurate and truly must be 0.
- Around line 126-131: The current mailmap snippet uses placeholders like
{personal_email_1}, {personal_email_2}, and {user_name} which will not match
historical author emails, so create a real mailmap containing the actual
historical email addresses mapped to the canonical identities (replacing the
placeholder lines such as "Finance Guru Developer <dev@example.com> {user_name}
<{personal_email_1/2>") and keep that mailmap outside the repo or in a private,
untracked location; then use that real mailmap when running the
history-rewrite/filter operation so author metadata is actually rewritten.

In @.planning/phases/01-git-history-scrub-security-foundation/01-03-PLAN.md:
- Around line 78-83: The PII detector rules (e.g., personal-llc-names,
employer-names, personal-names, google-sheets-id, brightdata-api-token)
currently include placeholder tokens like {llc_name}, {user_last} which will
match repo placeholders and break CI; remove these placeholder tokens from
gitleaks/CI pattern definitions and replace them with either (a) real PII
literals kept out of the repo (referenced via secret/CI vars) or (b)
format-based regexes and entropy/keyword checks only (e.g., keep the Z0\d{7,}
account pattern, 44-char Sheets ID pattern with entropy, hex token pattern with
entropy and keywords) and ensure short ambiguous tokens like "CBN" remain
excluded or handled in context-specific CI grep rules.

In `@scripts/qa/pii-replacements.txt`:
- Around line 11-105: The replacements file contains real secrets/PII (e.g.,
literal:9424526a719032acbe090cc883accedb1b7eb167e89f855d78a7a0fec0aaf441,
literal:Z05724592, literal:1HtHRP3CbnOePb8RQ0RwzFYOQxk0uWC6L8ZMJeQYfWk4 and
other literal:... entries) and must be sanitized: remove or replace every real
literal: and regex: entry that contains an actual token, account number,
spreadsheet ID, name, email or amount with a non-sensitive placeholder (e.g.,
REDACTED_API_TOKEN, REDACTED_ACCOUNT, REDACTED_SPREADSHEET_ID, REDACTED_NAME),
keep only template examples and ordering rules (e.g., the longer-first name
rules and regex patterns), add the sanitized template file to the repo, move the
true replacements file to an untracked/private location and add it to
.gitignore, and if any real secret (like the API token) was committed
rotate/rotate credentials immediately.
🧹 Nitpick comments (8)
docs/onboarding-flow-evaluation.md (4)

146-147: Prefer template language over “personal name.”

Consider referencing {user_name} (or “user name placeholder”) here to align with the template-variable policy used elsewhere.


585-586: Align test wording with {user_name} placeholder.

To stay consistent with the templating scheme, consider calling out {user_name} explicitly instead of “user’s name.”


655-669: “Owner’s setup” phrasing is OK but could be standardized.

If you want uniform terminology across docs, consider “your setup” or {user_name} references here.


761-763: Consider “internal dogfooding” phrasing.

“Ship internally to the owner” could be rephrased as “internal dogfooding” to avoid reintroducing personal references.

.planning/agent-history.json (1)

1-1: Consider formatting and documenting the JSON structure.

The JSON is valid but presented in a single line. For better maintainability and clearer git diffs when entries are added, consider:

  1. Pretty-printing the JSON with indentation
  2. Adding a README or inline documentation (e.g., in .planning/README.md) to describe the expected schema for entries
📝 Example formatted structure
-{"version":"1.0","max_entries":50,"entries":[]}
+{
+  "version": "1.0",
+  "max_entries": 50,
+  "entries": []
+}

Additionally, document what structure each entry in the entries array should have (e.g., timestamp, action, metadata fields).

fin-guru/DISTRIBUTION-PLAN.md (1)

322-322: LGTM! PII successfully removed from pyproject.toml example.

The replacement of the hardcoded name with {user_name} correctly implements the PII removal objective and maintains valid TOML syntax. The email placeholder is also appropriate.

Optional enhancement: Consider adding a brief comment or note in the documentation header explaining that template variables like {user_name} should be replaced with actual values when users customize these configurations. This could help clarify the customization process, though the pattern is likely clear from context.

.claude/skills/fin-core/SKILL.md (1)

43-43: Clarify "exact match" with template variable.

The line states Balances_for_Account_{account_id}.csv (exact match), which combines a template variable {account_id} with an "(exact match)" requirement. This could be interpreted in multiple ways:

  1. The filename pattern must match exactly after {account_id} is substituted with an actual account ID
  2. The literal string including braces must match exactly

Consider clarifying whether "exact match" means:

  • "Match this pattern with {account_id} replaced by the actual account identifier"
  • Or provide an example: Balances_for_Account_Z05724592.csv matches Balances_for_Account_{account_id}.csv
scripts/qa/author-mailmap.txt (1)

1-19: Mailmap format is correct and consolidation strategy is appropriate.

The mailmap follows the correct git-filter-repo format and appropriately remaps multiple author identities to a generic "Finance Guru Developer" identity while preserving safe attributions (Claude, GitHub).

Note: scripts/qa/ is intentionally tracked in the repository (marked with !scripts/qa/ in .gitignore), suggesting these QA tools are part of the documented git-filter-repo workflow. While the file does contain the original PII being sanitized, this is by design—it serves as the mapping reference during the filter operation.

- Around line 120-130: Replace the commented “For spreadsheet IDs...” line in
01-01-PLAN.md with an explicit verification command that searches tracked files
for Google Sheets IDs: run git ls-files piped into xargs grep -lE using a regex

alphanumeric/hyphen/underscore token used in sheet URLs) and count matches (same
style as the other checks using wc -l), and ensure the command excludes the

employer names, and personal names:" is followed by this concrete grep command
rather than a comment.
🧹 Nitpick comments (2)
scripts/qa/pii-replacements.template.txt (1)

28-31: Add a format-based Sheets ID regex to avoid misses.

Right now only a literal placeholder is listed; a regex catch-all helps scrub historical variations.

♻️ Proposed update
 # === HIGH: Google Sheets Spreadsheet ID ===
 # Replace with actual 44-character spreadsheet ID

77-83: Clarify that the private config containing real names must not be committed to the repository.

The plan correctly states rules 3–5 source actual names from a "private config," but this should be explicit: the private config must be stored outside the repository (e.g., in CI secrets or a secure location) and loaded at runtime via GITLEAKS_CONFIG environment variable or --config flag. Gitleaks supports this pattern natively, so clarify the implementation approach in the plan—e.g., how the CI/pre-commit hook will inject the private config path or inline content.

- Around line 27-36: Clarify that "required" applies to sections (e.g., "8 total
sections" and "Broker selection and env setup" must be visited) but not
necessarily to guaranteeing non-null values for every individual field: update
the "Validation and error handling" block to state that "required" means the
user must attempt the field (must be presented and retried up to 3 times), after
3 failed attempts the system may offer to skip the field and persist a null
value (matching the existing "Skipped required fields stored as null" behavior),
and make explicit that the summary will show "Not provided" and agents must
handle nulls; reference the headings "8 total sections", "Broker selection and
env setup", and the "Validation and error handling" subsection so implementers
know where to change the wording.

Comment on lines +27 to +36
- **8 total sections** — all sections are required entry (user must go through each one)
- Within each section, individual questions can be optional (e.g., account structure description, focus areas)
- Broker selection and env setup are **both required** sections (not skippable)
- At summary/review: if user says "something's wrong", show numbered section list — user picks which section to redo, only that section re-runs, then back to summary

### Validation and error handling
- **Inline correction with example** on validation failure: "That doesn't look like a dollar amount. Try: 25000, $25,000, or 25k"

Clarify “required” vs “skippable” field semantics.

Line 27 says all sections are required, but Lines 35–36 allow skipping required fields after retries. This is ambiguous for implementation and UX; please specify whether “required” means “must attempt” or “must provide a non-null value.”

In @.planning/phases/03-onboarding-wizard/03-CONTEXT.md around lines 27 - 36,
Clarify that "required" applies to sections (e.g., "8 total sections" and
"Broker selection and env setup" must be visited) but not necessarily to
guaranteeing non-null values for every individual field: update the "Validation
and error handling" block to state that "required" means the user must attempt
the field (must be presented and retried up to 3 times), after 3 failed attempts
the system may offer to skip the field and persist a null value (matching the
existing "Skipped required fields stored as null" behavior), and make explicit
that the summary will show "Not provided" and agents must handle nulls;
reference the headings "8 total sections", "Broker selection and env setup", and
the "Validation and error handling" subsection so implementers know where to
change the wording.

Literal PII across planning documentation requires systematic remediation—58 occurrences tracked in git.

The concern is valid and broader than the single line flagged. The literal username "ossieirondi" appears 58 times across 11+ planning files within .planning/, and the directory is tracked in git without exclusion (not in .gitignore). While these occurrences are in OS-level path context as documented in the SUMMARY, having literal PII systematically present in tracked files poses a risk if the repository becomes public or is widely shared.

The SUMMARY correctly notes that Plan 02 (git-filter-repo) will handle cleanup, but proactively replacing the literal username with a placeholder pattern (e.g., {username} or OS_USERNAME) throughout .planning/ would:

  • Reduce PII exposure in the current tracked state
  • Serve as a template for others to follow
  • Ensure the planning documents themselves don't leak credentials

Affected files include all phase execution commands (11-* and 12-*), codebase documentation (CONCERNS.md, CONVENTIONS.md, TESTING.md), and the summary itself.

**Ready for Plan 02:** The working tree HEAD is now PII-free. Plan 02 (git-filter-repo) can proceed to scrub the git history. The 01-RESEARCH.md file and OS-level path references will be handled by git-filter-repo's expressions file.

**Blockers:** None.
**Concerns:** The git-filter-repo expressions file (Plan 02) should include patterns for both the template variable names AND the original PII values, since the expressions file in the plan documentation now uses template variables instead of literal PII values.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion | 🟠 Major

Elevate the git-filter-repo expressions concern to a tracked item.

The concern raised in line 168 about needing both template variables AND original PII values in the git-filter-repo expressions file is critical for Plan 02 execution. Without the original PII patterns, history scrubbing cannot be performed effectively.

Consider:

  1. Adding this as a formal decision (DEC-01-01-05) documenting how original PII values will be securely preserved for Plan 02
  2. Creating a tracked blocker or action item in Plan 02's metadata
  3. Documenting the secure storage location for the original PII patterns (e.g., private config file, secure notes)

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Critical operational ambiguity: placeholder instructions conflict with actual execution needs.

The task instructs to "Include ALL of these patterns" followed by placeholder-based entries like literal:<REAL_ACCOUNT_NUMBER>==>REDACTED_ACCOUNT, then notes at lines 108-109 that "actual PII values are in the PRIVATE (untracked) scripts/qa/pii-replacements.txt" and "this plan shows the template format only."

This creates a critical execution gap:

  1. An executor following the literal instructions in Task 1 would create scripts/qa/pii-replacements.txt containing placeholder strings
  2. Git-filter-repo would then search for the literal string <REAL_ACCOUNT_NUMBER> (not actual account numbers) and miss all real PII
  3. The plan doesn't specify when/how to substitute actual values from the "private" source
  4. Lines 136-144 instruct to commit the file, but don't clarify whether placeholders or actual values should be committed

Since this is a one-shot irreversible operation (as stated in line 37), failing to replace placeholders would permanently expose PII in the filtered repository.

Suggested fix:

Add an explicit pre-execution step before the code block:

**BEFORE creating the files:** Source the actual PII values from your private, untracked configuration (not stored in this repo). The patterns below show the template structure - replace ALL placeholder tokens (<REAL_...>, <AMOUNT_...>, <OLD_...>, etc.) with actual literal values or working regex patterns before proceeding.

And clarify the commit instruction:

**IMPORTANT:** Do NOT commit the file with actual PII values to the main branch. Keep the actual pii-replacements.txt and author-mailmap.txt in a private, untracked location outside the repository. The templates in this plan are for structure reference only.

Verification doesn't catch placeholder usage.

The verification checks for replacement targets (REDACTED_ACCOUNT, REDACTED_API_TOKEN, dev@example.com) which would exist whether the source patterns are actual PII values or placeholders. This allows a broken configuration with unsubstituted placeholders to pass verification.

Add checks to ensure placeholders weren't committed:

# Ensure no placeholder tokens remain
grep -E "<REAL_|<AMOUNT_|<OLD_|<EMPLOYER_" scripts/qa/pii-replacements.txt && echo "FAIL: Placeholders found" || echo "PASS"

Non-executable verification code at critical decision gate.

Step 4 is marked as blocking ("MUST be 0. If not 0, DO NOT PROCEED"), but line 198 contains a placeholder <ACTUAL_PII_VALUES_FROM_PRIVATE_CONFIG> that cannot be executed as shell code. The comments acknowledge needing to "build grep pattern from actual values" but provide no implementation.

For a manual execution plan (autonomous: false), provide concrete instructions:

# Step 4: Verify scrub is complete
# Build grep pattern from your private pii-replacements.txt
# Extract all literal: patterns (excluding regex:) and join with |
PATTERNS=$(grep "^literal:" /path/to/private/pii-replacements.txt | \

SPECIFIC_COUNT=$(git log --all -p | grep -ciE "$PATTERNS" || true)

Specific exposures include a real Fidelity brokerage account number (<ACCOUNT_ID>), real financial data ($192K brokerage value, $365K mortgage, $500K net worth), LLC names (<LLC_NAME_1> LLC, <LLC_FULL_NAME_2> LLC), employer names (<EMPLOYER_1>, CBN), a Google Sheets spreadsheet ID (<SPREADSHEET_ID>), a Bright Data API token committed in .mcp.json, personal email addresses (<EMAIL_1>, <EMAIL_2>), and the full Google Forms financial assessment CSV with detailed personal financial data.

Replace the remaining literal employer name with a placeholder.

These sections still use CBN explicitly, which conflicts with the PR objective to remove hardcoded employer names. Use a placeholder (e.g., <EMPLOYER_2> or {employer_name}) consistently.

🔧 Example replacement
- employer names (<EMPLOYER_1>, CBN)
+ employer names (<EMPLOYER_1>, <EMPLOYER_2>)
-literal:CBN==>REDACTED_EMPLOYER_2
+literal:<EMPLOYER_2>==>REDACTED_EMPLOYER_2
-regex = '''\b(<EMPLOYER_1>|CBN)\b'''
-keywords = ["<EMPLOYER_1>", "CBN"]
+regex = '''\b(<EMPLOYER_1>|<EMPLOYER_2>)\b'''
+keywords = ["<EMPLOYER_1>", "<EMPLOYER_2>"]

markdown with a consistent placeholder such as "<EMPLOYER_2>" (or the
project-standard "{employer_name}"); search for the exact token "CBN" and update
each instance to the chosen placeholder, preserving surrounding
punctuation/formatting and keeping the placeholder style consistent across the
document (e.g., replace "CBN" -> "<EMPLOYER_2>" in all sections that currently
reference the employer).

Fix inconsistent LLC placeholders to avoid pattern drift.

<LLC_FULL_NAME_2> and <LLC_NAME_2> are mixed across examples and PATTERNS. This will cause grep and replacement lists to diverge. Standardize on one placeholder throughout (ideally the one used in the replacements list).

🔧 Example alignment
-PATTERNS="<ACCOUNT_ID>|<LLC_NAME_1> LLC|<LLC_NAME_2>|<SPREADSHEET_ID>|<EMAIL_1>|<EMAIL_2>"
+PATTERNS="<ACCOUNT_ID>|<LLC_NAME_1> LLC|<LLC_FULL_NAME_2> LLC|<SPREADSHEET_ID>|<EMAIL_1>|<EMAIL_2>"

Non-functional contact emails in operational policy document.

Replacing the contact emails with support@example.com renders Section 14 non-functional for its stated purposes (security inquiries, access requests, incident reporting). This creates a gap in operational procedures and potentially compliance requirements, as security policies typically require accessible contact methods.

Consider these alternatives:

  • Use template variables (e.g., {support_email}) consistent with other PR changes
  • Add a documentation note directing readers to an actual contact source
  • Maintain functional contact info in internal policy documents separate from public-facing materials

Section 14 currently uses non-functional placeholder emails for "Security

"support@example.com" with a template variable (e.g., {support_email})
consistent with other docs and add a short documentation note under Section 14
pointing readers to the canonical contact source (internal directory or
environment/configuration where {support_email} is defined) or instruct
maintainers to keep a separate internal version with real addresses so the
policy remains operational for incident triage.

Data deletion contact is non-functional.

This email address is part of a data deletion procedure in the Privacy Policy section. Using a non-functional placeholder (support@example.com) prevents users from exercising their data deletion rights, which may create GDPR/CCPA compliance concerns.

Consider using a template variable like {support_email} or clearly documenting where users can find actual contact information.

In `@apps/plaid-dashboard/README.md` at line 215, Replace the non-functional
placeholder email "support@example.com" in the Privacy Policy/README entry with
a configurable template variable (e.g., "{support_email}" or an env var
reference like "${SUPPORT_EMAIL}") and update the surrounding text to explain
where the real contact is configured (e.g., point to site settings or deployment
env var), so users can find/submit data deletion requests using the actual
support email; locate the occurrence of "support@example.com" in the Privacy
Policy/README and make the substitution and short explanatory note.

Privacy contact email is non-functional.

The contact section promises a response time "Within 5 business days" but provides a non-functional placeholder email. This creates a gap between the stated privacy rights and the ability to exercise them.

For public distribution, consider either:

  • Using a template variable (e.g., {support_email})
  • Adding a note indicating where to find actual contact information
  • Maintaining functional contact info if this README will be used operationally

response promise can be acted on; update the "Email:" line accordingly and
ensure any CI or docs build that consumes {support_email} is documented or
linked.
