Upgrade to current Node LTS
Move the project to the current Node LTS across .nvmrc, CI config, Dockerfiles, and engines, fixing deprecations until everything is green on the new runtime.
/goal the project runs on the current Node LTS — update .nvmrc, the engines field, CI workflow files, and any Dockerfile base images to the LTS version, then run install, build, lint, and the full test suite on it, fixing deprecation warnings and breakages one at a time; stop when all are green or after 15 turns

Implementation note
The sneaky failures are usually native modules and CI images, which is why the goal names every file class explicitly. Do it on a branch and let CI confirm.
More maintenance loops
Define done before Codex starts
Set the completion contract up front, track proof for every requirement, and block partial work from being called done.
Run $goal-planner-codex [task] for long-running Codex work where partial work could be mistaken for done. Landing a PR and verifying production is one example. Before acting, define every required outcome and its evidence. After each bounded action, mark requirements proved, weak, missing, or contradicted. Complete the Goal only when all are proved; otherwise stop as blocked, stalled, or exhausted. Ask before creating Goal state. Finish with the requirement-to-evidence table, status, owner, and next action.
Prove your backups actually restore
Restore random real recovery points, verify integrity and RPO/RTO, and keep every failure as a regression drill.
For each required recovery scenario, randomly select an eligible real backup or recovery point and restore from zero in a disposable, isolated clean-room using only documented materials. Verify integrity, dependencies, representative reads and writes, and actual RPO and RTO. Repair one blocker, destroy the environment, and retry fresh. Stop when every scenario reaches its predefined consecutive-success streak or an exception is explicitly accepted. Never overwrite production, expose restored data, or initiate failover without approval.
Chase a refund until it lands
Open the claim, watch replies and deadlines, and keep the case moving until the money actually arrives.
Get my refund for [company and charge info]. Start the claim now through an approved support channel, then keep following up on replies, promises, and deadlines until the refund arrives. Keep a short case note so each follow-up has context. Stop only when the refund is received or you are genuinely blocked and need me.
