refresh on scenario edits Two fixes for the user's report that adding a £100k life-event spend didn't change the chart: Engine (simulator.py) - New `extra_outflows` param. cashflow_adjustments still drains the portfolio at start-of-year as before, but the simulator now ALSO records the spending in `withdrawal_hist[p, y]` so the chart's red median-withdrawal trace shows the bump. Without this, the £100k silently came out of the portfolio but the user-facing withdrawal trace stayed at the strategy's flat 4% draw. - simulate.py wires extra_outflows = essential + discretionary category outflows from life events. UX (ScenarioDetail.tsx) - New auto-refresh: when life events / income streams / flex rules change for a scenario, the page fires `/simulate` automatically with 2,000 paths and uses the result as the primary fan/year-stats source. The persisted MC run is only consulted as a fallback for scenarios with no overrides. - Fan chart title gains a "live preview · Xs · Ny" pill while a sim is current, and "re-running…" while a fresh one is in flight. - Removed the now-redundant "Live preview run" duplicate card lower down — the main chart IS the live preview. - Year-stats badge row reads from sim.data when available so changes propagate immediately to NW / Δ NW / Spending / Taxes. 247 pytest pass (+1 new); mypy + ruff clean; frontend typecheck/test/ build green.

"""Monte Carlo simulator — the core of fire-planner.
|
||
|
||
Inputs:
|
||
- a `(n_paths, n_years, 3)` bootstrap of returns + CPI (`returns/`)
|
||
- a withdrawal strategy (`strategies/`)
|
||
- a glide-path function (`glide_path`)
|
||
- a tax regime (`tax/`)
|
||
- starting portfolio + spending target
|
||
|
||
Per path the simulator runs a 60-year (or whatever horizon) lifecycle:
|
||
|
||
for each year y in 0..H:
|
||
asset_alloc = glide(y)
|
||
portfolio = portfolio * (1 + alloc·stock + (1-alloc)·bond)
|
||
withdrawal = strategy.propose(state)
|
||
tax = regime.compute_tax(...)
|
||
portfolio -= (withdrawal + tax_in_addition)
|
||
if portfolio < 0: failed_path
|
||
|
||
We work entirely in REAL GBP — convert returns to real (return/inflation
|
||
factor each year). Tax brackets are assumed to inflate with CPI (a v2
|
||
follow-up on fiscal drag).
|
||
|
||
Annual savings (during the accumulation phase) get added at year start
|
||
and earn the year's return.
