        "reasoning_content": "Okay, I need to implement the Monte Carlo simulation as described.\n\nHere's the plan:\n1.  Read `input.json`.\n2.  Implement the simulation logic in `solve.py`.\n3.  Calculate the required statistics.\n4.  Generate the `answer.json` file.\n5.  Generate the `chart.svg` file.\n\nLet's refine the simulation logic:\n-   `rng = random.Random(seed)`\n-   For each simulation `s` from 0 to `sims-1`:\n    -   `balance = start_balance`\n    -   `spend = annual_spend`\n    -   `failed_year = None`\n    -   For each year `y` from 0 to `years-1`:\n        -   `r = rng.gauss(mean_return, sd_return)`\n        -   `i = rng.gauss(mean_inflation, sd_inflation)`\n        -   `balance -= spend`\n        -   If `balance < 0`:\n            -   `failed_year = y + 1`\n            -   `balance = 0`\n            -   Break simulation\n        -   `balance *= (1 + r)`\n        -   `spend *= (1 + i)`\n    -   Store the ending balance and the failure year.\n\nStatistics:\n-   `success_rate`: `successes / sims` (round to 6 decimals)\n-   `meets_threshold`: `unrounded_success_rate >= success_threshold`\n-   `sims_failed`: number of failures\n-   `p10`, `p50`, `p90`: Sort ending balances `E`, `pX = E[int(X/100 * (sims - 1))]` (round to 2 decimals)\n-   `median_failure_year`: Sort failure years `F`, `F[int(0.5 * (len(F) - 1))]` (or `null` if none)\n-   `best_sim`: index of highest ending balance (lowest index on ties)\n-   `earliest_failure_sim`: index of simulation that failed in the earliest year (lowest index on ties) (or `null` if none)\n\nSVG Chart:\n-   Percentile fan: `p10`, `p50`, `p90` polylines.\n-   For each year `y` from 0 to `years-1`, calculate the 10th, 50th, and 90th percentile of the balances at the end of that year.\n-   A failed simulation counts as 0 from its failure year.\n-   Wait, the rules say \"each the 10th/50th/90th percentile end-of-year balance across simulations for each year\".\n-   Let's track the balance of each simulation at the end of each year.\n-   If a simulation fails in year `y+1`, its balance at the end of year `y` is 0, and for all subsequent years it's also 0.\n-   Wait, \"If the balance is now below 0, the simulation fails in year y+1: its ending balance is 0 and it stops immediately\".\n-   Let's re-read: \"For each year y = 0 .. years-1: draw r, then i, then balance -= spend. If the balance is now below 0, the simulation fails in year y+1: its ending balance is 0 and it stops immediately... Otherwise balance *= (1 + r) and spend *= (1 + i).\"\n-   So if it fails in year `y+1`, the balance at the end of year `y` (which is the end of the loop iteration for `y`) is 0.\n-   Wait, the \"end-of-year balance\" would be the balance after `balance *= (1 + r)` if it didn't fail. If it failed, it's 0.\n-   Let's trace:\n    -   Year 0:\n        -   Draw r, i.\n        -   `balance = balance - spend`\n        -   If `balance < 0`: fail in year 1, balance = 0, stop.\n        -   Else: `balance = balance * (1 + r)`, `spend = spend * (1 + i)`.\n        -   End-of-year 0 balance is this `balance`.\n    -   Year 1:\n        -   Draw r, i.\n        -   `balance = balance - spend`\n        -   If `balance < 0`: fail in year 2, balance = 0, stop.\n        -   Else: `balance = balance * (1 + r)`, `spend = spend * (1 + i)`.\n        -   End-of-year 1 balance is this `balance`.\n    -   And so on.\n\nWait, if it fails in year `y+1`, its balance at the end of year `y` is 0.\nExample: `years = 2`.\nYear 0:\n- Draw r0, i0.\n- `balance = start_balance - annual_spend`.\n- If `balance < 0`: fail in year 1, balance = 0, stop. End-of-year 0 balance = 0.\n- Else: `balance = balance * (1 + r0)`, `spend = spend * (1 + i0)`. End-of-year 0 balance = `balance`.\nYear 1:\n- Draw r1, i1.\n- `balance = balance - spend`.\n- If `balance < 0`: fail in year 2, balance = 0, stop. End-of-year 1 balance = 0.\n- Else: `balance = balance * (1 + r1)`, `spend = spend * (1 + i1)`. End-of-year 1 balance = `balance`.\n\nSo for each simulation, we have a sequence of end-of-year balances: `B[0], B[1], ..., B[years-1]`.\nIf it fails in year `f` (where `f` is 1-indexed), then `B[f-1] = 0`, and `B[j] = 0` for all `j >= f-1`.\nWait, if it fails in year 1, `B[0] = 0`. If it fails in year 2, `B[0]` is the balance after year 0, and `B[1] = 0`.\nThis seems consistent.\n\nLet's implement `solve.py`.",

Correct.\n\n`earliest_failure_sim`: \"index of the simulation that failed in the earliest year (lowest index on ties)\".\nMy code:\n```python\n            if fail_year < min_failure_year:\n                min_failure_year = fail_year\n                earliest_failure_sim = s\n```\nThis will only update `earliest_failure_sim` if `fail_year` is strictly less than `min_failure_year`. Since I'm iterating from `s = 0` to `sims-1`, this will keep the lowest index on ties. Correct.\n\nLet's run the script.",

I should double-check the rules to ensure everything is correct.\n\nRules check:\n1. `rng = random.Random(seed)`: Done.\n2. Simulations s = 0 .. sims-1: Done.\n3. Each year y = 0 .. years-1:\n    - Draw `r = rng.gauss(mean_return, sd_return)`\n    - Draw `i = rng.gauss(mean_inflation, sd_inflation)`\n    - `balance -= spend`\n    - If `balance < 0`, simulation fails in year `y+1`, ending balance is 0, stop immediately.\n    - Otherwise `balance *= (1 + r)` and `spend *= (1 + i)`.\n    - This order is important. Let's re-verify my code.\n\nMy code:\n```python\n        for y in range(years):\n            r = rng.gauss(mean_return, sd_return)\n            i = rng.gauss(mean_inflation, sd_inflation)\n            \n            balance -= spend\n            if balance < 0:\n                fail_year = y + 1\n                balance = 0.0\n                failed = True\n                yearly_balances[y][s] = 0.0\n                break\n            \n            balance *= (1 + r)\n            spend *= (1 + i)\n            yearly_balances[y][s] = balance\n```\nWait, the rule says: \"draw `r = rng.gauss(mean_return, sd_return)`, then `i = rng.gauss(mean_inflation, sd_inflation)` (both are drawn every year, in that order, before anything else), then balance -= spend.\"\nMy code does exactly that.\n\nWait, \"If the balance is now below 0, the simulation fails in year y+1: its ending balance is 0 and it stops immediately (no more draws for it). Otherwise balance *= (1 + r) and spend *= (1 + i).\"\nMy code:\n```python\n            balance -= spend\n            if balance < 0:\n                fail_year = y + 1\n                balance = 0.0\n                failed = True\n                yearly_balances[y][s] = 0.0\n                break\n            \n            balance *= (1 + r)\n            spend *= (1 + i)\n            yearly_balances[y][s] = balance\n```\nThis matches.\n\n4. \"A simulation that never fails succeeds; its ending balance is the balance after the last year.\"\nMy code:\n```python\n        if failed:\n            # ...\n            ending_balances.append(0.0)\n        else:\n            successes += 1\n            ending_balances.append(balance)\n```\nThis matches.\n\n5. `success_rate` = successes / sims (round to 6 decimals). `meets_threshold` = (unrounded success rate >= `success_threshold`). `sims_failed` = number of failures.\nMy code:\n```python\n    success_rate_unrounded = successes / sims\n    success_rate = round(success_rate_unrounded, 6)\n    meets_threshold = success_rate_unrounded >= success_threshold\n    sims_failed = len(failure_years)\n```\nThis matches.\n\n6. Percentiles: sort all ending balances ascending (failed ones count as 0) into E; `pX` = E[int(X/100 * (sims - 1))] for X = 10, 50, 90 (round to 2 decimals).\nMy code:\n```python\n    sorted_balances = sorted(ending_balances)\n    p10 = round(sorted_balances[int(0.1 * (sims - 1))], 2)\n    p50 = round(sorted_balances[int(0.5 * (sims - 1))], 2)\n    p90 = round(sorted_balances[int(0.9 * (sims - 1))], 2)\n```\nThis matches.\n\n7. `median_failure_year`: sort the failure years ascending into F and take F[int(0.5 * (len(F) - 1))]; `null` if nothing failed.\nMy code:\n```python\n    median_failure_year = None\n    if failure_years:\n        sorted_failures = sorted(failure_years)\n        median_failure_year = sorted_failures[int(0.5 * (len(sorted_failures) - 1))]\n```\nThis matches.\n\n8. `best_sim` = index of the highest ending balance (lowest index on ties). `earliest_failure_sim` = index of the simulation that failed in the earliest year (lowest index on ties); `null` if nothing failed.\nMy code:\n```python\n    best_sim = -1\n    max_balance = -1.0\n    # ...\n    for s in range(sims):\n        # ...\n        if balance > max_balance:\n            max_balance = balance\n            best_sim = s\n```\nWait, \"lowest index on ties\" for `best_sim`. My code uses `if balance > max_balance:`, which will keep the first index that achieved that balance. That's correct.\n\nFor `earliest_failure_sim`:\n```python\n    earliest_failure_sim = -1\n    min_failure_year = years + 1\n    # ...\n    if failed:\n        # ...\n        if fail_year < min_failure_year:\n            min_failure_year = fail_year\n            earliest_failure_sim = s\n```\nThis also keeps the first index that failed in the earliest year. Correct.\n\nNow let's check the chart.\n\"a percentile fan: `<polyline id=\"p10\">`, `<polyline id=\"p50\">`, `<polyline id=\"p90\">`, each the 10th/50th/90th percentile end-of-year balance across simulations for each year (a failed simulation counts as 0 from its failure year).\"\n\nMy code:\n```python\n    # Percentiles for each year\n    p10_series = []\n    p50_series = []\n    p90_series = []\n    \n    for y in range(years):\n        year_balances = sorted(yearly_balances[y])\n        p10_series.append(year_balances[int(0.1 * (sims - 1))])\n        p50_series.append(year_balances[int(0.5 * (sims - 1))])\n        p90_series.append(year_balances[int(0.9 * (sims - 1))])\n```\nAnd `yearly_balances` is updated:\n```python\n        for y in range(years):\n            # ...\n            balance -= spend\n            if balance < 0:\n                fail_year = y + 1\n                balance = 0.0\n                failed = True\n                yearly_balances[y][s] = 0.0\n                break\n            \n            balance *= (1 + r)\n            spend *= (1 + i)\n            yearly_balances[y][s] = balance\n```\nAnd if it failed:\n```python\n        if failed:\n            # Fill remaining years with 0\n            for y_rem in range(y + 1, years):\n                yearly_balances[y_rem][s] = 0.0\n```\nWait, if it fails in year `y+1`, the balance for year `y` should be 0.\nLet's re-read: \"If the balance is now below 0, the simulation fails in year y+1: its ending balance is 0 and it stops immediately\".\nThe \"ending balance\" for year `y` (where `y` is 0-indexed) is the balance after the operations of that year.\nIf it fails during year `y`, the balance for that year is 0.\nMy code:\n```python\n            balance -= spend\n            if balance < 0:\n                fail_year = y + 1\n                balance = 0.0\n                failed = True\n                yearly_balances[y][s] = 0.0\n                break\n```\nThis sets the balance for year `y` to 0. This is correct.\n\nOne more thing: \"a failed simulation counts as 0 from its failure year\".\nIf it fails in year `y+1` (which is the `y`-th iteration of the loop), its balance for year `y` and all subsequent years should be 0.\nMy code does:\n```python\n                yearly_balances[y][s] = 0.0\n                break\n# ...\n        if failed:\n            # Fill remaining years with 0\n            for y_rem in range(y + 1, years):\n                yearly_balances[y_rem][s] = 0.0\n```\nThis is correct.\n\nWait, I should check the `best_sim` logic again.\nIf all simulations fail, `max_balance` will be 0.0.\n`best_sim` starts at -1.\nIf `balance` is 0.0 and `max_balance` is -1.0, `best_sim` will be 0.\nIf all simulations end with 0.0, `best_sim` will be 0.\nIs that correct? \"lowest index on ties\". Yes.\n\nWait, if `sims` is 0? The problem says `sims` is an integer, and typically it's > 0.\nIf `sims` is 1, `sims - 1` is 0. `int(0.1 * 0)` is 0. `sorted_balances[0]` is correct.\n\nLet's double check the SVG requirements.\n- Root element `<svg>`: Yes.\n- No scripts, no external images, fonts, stylesheets or links: Yes.\n- Contains `<polyline id=\"p10\">`, `<polyline id=\"p50\">`, `<polyline id=\"p90\">`: Yes.\n- No `<script>`, `<img>`/`<image>`, `<link>`, `<iframe>`/`<object>`/`<embed>`, `on*` handlers, or `href`/`src` pointing anywhere except `#...` or `data:`: Yes.\n\nOne detail: `p10`, `p50`, `p90` are the 10th/50th/90th percentile end-of-year balance across simulations for each year.\nMy code:\n```python\n    for y in range(years):\n        year_balances = sorted(yearly_balances[y])\n        p10_series.append(year_balances[int(0.1 * (sims - 1))])\n        p50_series.append(year_balances[int(0.5 * (sims - 1))])\n        p90_series.append(year_balances[int(0.9 * (sims - 1))])\n```\nThis uses the same indexing as the ending balances.\n\nWait, the `best_sim` and `earliest_failure_sim` should be `null` in JSON if they don't exist.\nMy code:\n```python\n    earliest_failure_sim_val = earliest_failure_sim if sims_failed > 0 else None\n```\nFor `best_sim`, it will always be at least 0 if `sims > 0`.\nIf `sims` is 0, it might be -1. But `sims` will be > 0.\n\nLet's check the `best_sim` tie-breaking again.\n\"best_sim = index of the highest ending balance (lowest index on ties).\"\nMy code:\n```python\n    best_sim = -1\n    max_balance = -1.0\n    # ...\n    for s in range(sims):\n        # ...\n        if balance > max_balance:\n            max_balance = balance\n            best_sim = s\n```\nIf `balance` is 100 for `s=0` and 100 for `s=1`, `max_balance` becomes 100 at `s=0`, and then `100 > 100` is false, so `best_sim` remains 0. This is correct.\n\nWait, I used `max_balance = -1.0`. If all balances are 0, `best_sim` will be 0.\nIs that correct? If all simulations fail, they all have ending balance 0. The highest ending balance is 0, and the lowest index is 0. So `best_sim` should be 0. My code does this.\n\nOne more thing: `median_failure_year`.\n\"sort the failure years ascending into F and take F[int(0.5 * (len(F) - 1))]; `null` if nothing failed.\"\nMy code:\n```python\n    median_failure_year = None\n    if failure_years:\n        sorted_failures = sorted(failure_years)\n        median_failure_year = sorted_failures[int(0.5 * (len(sorted_failures) - 1))]\n```\nThis is correct.\n\nLet's double check the `earliest_failure_sim` tie-breaking.\n\"earliest_failure_sim = index of the simulation that failed in the earliest year (lowest index on ties); `null` if nothing failed.\"\nMy code:\n```python\n    earliest_failure_sim = -1\n    min_failure_year = years + 1\n    # ...\n    if failed:\n        # ...\n        if fail_year < min_failure_year:\n            min_failure_year = fail_year\n            earliest_failure_sim = s\n```\nIf `s=0` fails in year 5 and `s=1` fails in year 5, `min_failure_year` becomes 5 at `s=0`, and then `5 < 5` is false, so `earliest_failure_sim` remains 0. This is correct.\n\nFinal check on the SVG.\nThe `scale_x` and `scale_y` functions:\n```python\n    def scale_x(y):\n        return padding + (y / (years - 1)) * (width - 2 * padding) if years > 1 else padding\n    \n    def scale_y(val):\n        return (height - padding) - (val / max_val) * (height - 2 * padding)\n```\nIf `years` is 1, `scale_x` is always `padding`.\nIf `max_val` is 0, it's handled.\nThe `polyline` points are space-separated `x,y` pairs.\n```python\n    svg_content = f'''<svg width=\"{width}\" height=\"{height}\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\">\n    <polyline id=\"p10\" points=\"{\" \".join([f\"{scale_x(y)},{scale_y(val)}\" for y, val in enumerate(p10_series)])}\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"blue\" stroke-width=\"1\" />\n    <polyline id=\"p50\" points=\"{\" \".join([f\"{scale_x(y)},{scale_y(val)}\" for y, val in enumerate(p50_series)])}\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"green\" stroke-width=\"1\" />\n    <polyline id=\"p90\" points=\"{\" \".join([f\"{scale_x(y)},{scale_y(val)}\" for y, val in enumerate(p90_series)])}\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"red\" stroke-width=\"1\" />\n</svg>'''\n```\nThis looks solid.\n\nWait, I should check if `annual_spend` and `start_balance` are handled as floats.\n```python\n    start_balance = float(data['start_balance'])\n    annual_spend = float(data['annual_spend'])\n```\nYes.\n\nOne last check on the `success_rate` rounding.\n\"success_rate = successes / sims (round to 6 decimals).\"\nMy code:\n```python\n    success_rate_unrounded = successes / sims\n    success_rate = round(success_rate_unrounded, 6)\n```\nThis is correct.\n\nWait, I should make sure the `chart.svg` is written to the current directory.\n```python\n    with open('chart.svg', 'w') as f:\n        f.write(svg_content)\n```\nYes.\n\nLet's run it once more to be sure.",

        "reasoning_content": "The user wants me to implement a Monte Carlo retirement simulation.\nI have already written `solve.py` and tested it with `input.json`.\nThe simulation rules are:\n1. `rng = random.Random(seed)` used for everything.\n2.

For each year y = 0 .. years-1:\n   - Draw `r = rng.gauss(mean_return, sd_return)`\n   - Draw `i = rng.gauss(mean_inflation, sd_inflation)`\n   - `balance -= spend`\n   - If `balance < 0`, simulation fails in year y+1, ending balance = 0, stop.\n   - Otherwise `balance *= (1 + r)` and `spend *= (1 + i)`.\n4. Successes: simulations that never fail.\n5. `success_rate` = successes / sims (round to 6 decimals).\n6. `meets_threshold` = (unrounded success rate >= `success_threshold`).\n7. `sims_failed` = number of failures.\n8. Percentiles: sort ending balances ascending (failed = 0), `pX = E[int(X/100 * (sims - 1))]` for X = 10, 50, 90 (round to 2 decimals).\n9. `median_failure_year`: sort failure years ascending, `F[int(0.5 * (len(F) - 1))]`.\n10. `best_sim`: index of highest ending balance (lowest index on ties).\n11. `earliest_failure_sim`: index of simulation that failed in earliest year (lowest index on ties).\n12. `chart.svg`: percentile fan (p10, p50, p90) for each year.\n\nLet's double check the logic in `solve.py`.\n\n```python\n    for s in range(sims):\n        balance = start_balance\n        spend = annual_spend\n        failed = False\n        fail_year = None\n        \n        for y in range(years):\n            r = rng.gauss(mean_return, sd_return)\n            i = rng.gauss(mean_inflation, sd_inflation)\n            \n            balance -= spend\n            if balance < 0:\n                fail_year = y + 1\n                balance = 0.0\n                failed = True\n                yearly_balances[y][s] = 0.0\n                break\n            \n            balance *= (1 + r)\n            spend *= (1 + i)\n            yearly_balances[y][s] = balance\n```\nWait, if `balance < 0`, it fails in year `y+1`. The ending balance is 0.\nThe rules say: \"If the balance is now below 0, the simulation fails in year y+1: its ending balance is 0 and it stops immediately (no more draws for it).\"\nMy code:\n```python\n            balance -= spend\n            if balance < 0:\n                fail_year = y + 1\n                balance = 0.0\n                failed = True\n                yearly_balances[y][s] = 0.0\n                break\n```\nThis seems correct. The `yearly_balances[y][s]` is the balance at the end of year `y`. If it fails during year `y` (after subtracting spend), the balance at the end of year `y` is 0.\n\nWait, let's re-read: \"If the balance is now below 0, the simulation fails in year y+1: its ending balance is 0 and it stops immediately\".\nIf it fails in year `y+1`, it means it failed during the `y`-th year (0-indexed).\nExample: `y=0`. `balance -= spend`. If `balance < 0`, it fails in year 1. Ending balance is 0.\nMy code: `fail_year = y + 1` (which is 1), `balance = 0.0`, `yearly_balances[0][s] = 0.0`.

The problem says `sims` is an integer, usually > 0. If `sims` is 0, `success_rate = successes / sims` will raise `ZeroDivisionError`. But `sims` will likely be > 0.\n\nLet's check the `p10`, `p50`, `p90` calculation again.\n`pX = E[int(X/100 * (sims - 1))]`\nMy code:\n```python\n    sorted_balances = sorted(ending_balances)\n    p10 = round(sorted_balances[int(0.1 * (sims - 1))], 2)\n    p50 = round(sorted_balances[int(0.5 * (sims - 1))], 2)\n    p90 = round(sorted_balances[int(0.9 * (sims - 1))], 2)\n```\nThis matches the formula.\n\nOne last check on the simulation loop:\n\"draw `r = rng.gauss(mean_return, sd_return)`, then `i = rng.gauss(mean_inflation, sd_inflation)` (both are drawn every year, in that order, before anything else), then balance -= spend.\"\nMy code:\n```python\n        for y in range(years):\n            r = rng.gauss(mean_return, sd_return)\n            i = rng.gauss(mean_inflation, sd_inflation)\n            \n            balance -= spend\n            if balance < 0:\n                # ...\n```\nThis matches the order.\n\nWait, I noticed a potential issue in my `solve.py`.\nI used `y` in the `if failed:` block:\n```python\n        if failed:\n            # Fill remaining years with 0\n            for y_rem in range(y + 1, years):\n                yearly_balances[y_rem][s] = 0.0\n```\n`y` is the loop variable from `for y in range(years):`. In Python, `y` persists after the loop.\nIf the loop finishes normally (no `break`), `y` will be `years - 1`.\nIf the loop breaks, `y` will be the value at the time of `break`.\nThis is correct.\n\nWait, let's check the `yearly_balances` initialization.\n`yearly_balances = [[0.0] * sims for _ in range(years)]`\nIf a simulation fails in year `y+1` (during year `y`), `yearly_balances[y][s]` is set to 0.0.\nThen the `if failed:` block fills `y+1` to `years-1` with 0.0.\nWhat about years `0` to `y-1`?\nThey were set by `yearly_balances[y][s] = balance` in the loop.\nSo for a simulation that fails in year `y+1`:\n- Years `0` to `y-1`: `yearly_balances` contains the balance at the end of those years.\n- Year `y`: `yearly_balances[y][s] = 0.0`.\n- Years `y+1` to `years-1`: `yearly_balances` contains 0.0.\nThis matches \"a failed simulation counts as 0 from its failure year\".\nWait, if it fails in year 1 (during year 0), `y=0`.\n`yearly_balances[0][s] = 0.0`.\n`y_rem` from `1` to `years-1` are set to 0.0.\nSo all years are 0.0. Correct.\n\nOne more thing: \"ending balance is 0 and it stops immediately\".\nMy code:\n```python\n            if balance < 0:\n                fail_year = y + 1\n                balance = 0.0\n                failed = True\n                yearly_balances[y][s] = 0.0\n                break\n```\nAnd then:\n```python\n        if failed:\n            # ...\n            ending_balances.append(0.0)\n```\nCorrect.\n\nWait, I should check the `best_sim` logic again.\nIf a simulation fails, its ending balance is 0.0.\nIf all simulations fail, `best_sim` should be 0.\nMy code:\n```python\n    best_sim = -1\n    max_balance = -1.0\n    # ...\n    if balance > max_balance:\n        max_balance = balance\n        best_sim = s\n```\nIf `s=0` fails, `balance = 0.0`. `0.0 > -1.0` is True. `max_balance = 0.0`, `best_sim = 0`.\nIf `s=1` fails, `balance = 0.0`. `0.0 > 0.0` is False. `best_sim` remains 0.\nCorrect.\n\nWait, what if `start_balance` is 0 and `annual_spend` is 0?\nThen `balance` will always be 0.\n`s=0`: `balance = 0.0`. `0.0 > -1.0` (T), `max_balance = 0.0`, `best_sim = 0`.\nCorrect.\n\nWhat if `start_balance` is negative? (Though unlikely).\nThe rules say `start_balance` and `annual_spend` are floats.\nIf `start_balance` is -100, `balance` starts at -100.\n`y=0`: `balance -= spend`. `balance` becomes -100 - spend.\n`balance < 0` is true. `fail_year = 1`, `balance = 0.0`, `failed = True`.\n`ending_balances.append(0.0)`.\n`best_sim` will be 0.\nCorrect.\n\nLet's double check the `median_failure_year` calculation.\n`F[int(0.5 * (len(F) - 1))]`\nIf `F = [1, 2, 3]`, `len(F) = 3`. `int(0.5 * 2) = 1`. `F[1] = 2`.\nIf `F = [1, 2]`, `len(F) = 2`. `int(0.5 * 1) = 0`. `F[0] = 1`.\nThis matches the requirement.\n\nFinal check on the SVG:\nThe `polyline` points are space-separated `x,y` pairs.\nMy code:\n```python\n    svg_content = f'''<svg width=\"{width}\" height=\"{height}\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\">\n    <polyline id=\"p10\" points=\"{\" \".join([f\"{scale_x(y)},{scale_y(val)}\" for y, val in enumerate(p10_series)])}\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"blue\" stroke-width=\"1\" />\n    <polyline id=\"p50\" points=\"{\" \".join([f\"{scale_x(y)},{scale_y(val)}\" for y, val in enumerate(p50_series)])}\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"green\" stroke-width=\"1\" />\n    <polyline id=\"p90\" points=\"{\" \".join([f\"{scale_x(y)},{scale_y(val)}\" for y, val in enumerate(p90_series)])}\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"red\" stroke-width=\"1\" />\n</svg>'''\n```\nThis looks correct.\n\nWait, I should make sure I'm using `python3` in my `run_shell` calls. I did.\n\nOne last thing: \"round to 6 decimals\" for `success_rate`.\n`round(success_rate_unrounded, 6)`\nAnd \"round to 2 decimals\" for `p10, p50, p90`.\n`round(..., 2)`\nCorrect.\n\nI'll run the simulation one more time to be sure.",
