Implementation Guide: Issues #257, #262

Repository: harystyleseze/careguard
Branch: fix/issues-257-262
Estimated Implementation Time: 6-8 hours
Status: ✅ Complete

Overview

This document provides comprehensive implementation guidance for two CareGuard configuration and tooling issues:

Issue #257: Remove unused USDC_SAC env var and add CI validation
Issue #262: Add get_wallet_balance tool for real on-chain balance

Issue #257: USDC_SAC Env Var Cleanup

Summary

Remove unused USDC_SAC environment variable from .env.example and add CI script to detect unused env vars.

Implementation

1. Remove USDC_SAC from .env.example

Update .env.example (lines 52-53):

# Before:
USDC_ISSUER=GBBD47IF6LWK7P7MDEVSCWR7DPUWV3NY3DTQEVFL4NAT4AQH3ZLLFLA5
USDC_SAC=CBIELTK6YBZJU5UP2WWQEUCYKLPU6AUNZ2BQ4WWFEIE3USCIHMXQDAMA

# After:
USDC_ISSUER=GBBD47IF6LWK7P7MDEVSCWR7DPUWV3NY3DTQEVFL4NAT4AQH3ZLLFLA5
# USDC_SAC removed - not currently used in codebase
# Future SAC support tracked in issue #XXX (if needed)

2. Create CI Script for Unused Env Vars

Create scripts/check-env-vars.ts:

#!/usr/bin/env tsx

import fs from 'node:fs/promises';
import path from 'node:path';
import { glob } from 'glob';

interface EnvVar {
  name: string;
  line: number;
  used: boolean;
  files: string[];
}

async function extractEnvVarsFromExample(): Promise<Map<string, EnvVar>> {
  const envExamplePath = path.join(process.cwd(), '.env.example');
  const content = await fs.readFile(envExamplePath, 'utf-8');
  const lines = content.split('\n');
  
  const envVars = new Map<string, EnvVar>();
  
  lines.forEach((line, index) => {
    // Match lines like: VAR_NAME=value or # VAR_NAME=value
    const match = line.match(/^#?\s*([A-Z_][A-Z0-9_]*)=/);
    if (match) {
      const varName = match[1];
      // Skip common meta variables
      if (!['NODE_ENV', 'PORT', 'HOST'].includes(varName)) {
        envVars.set(varName, {
          name: varName,
          line: index + 1,
          used: false,
          files: [],
        });
      }
    }
  });
  
  return envVars;
}

async function searchCodebaseForEnvVars(envVars: Map<string, EnvVar>): Promise<void> {
  const files = await glob('**/*.{ts,js,tsx,jsx}', {
    ignore: ['node_modules/**', 'dist/**', '.next/**', 'scripts/check-env-vars.ts'],
  });
  
  for (const file of files) {
    const content = await fs.readFile(file, 'utf-8');
    
    for (const [varName, varInfo] of envVars) {
      // Check for process.env.VAR_NAME or process.env['VAR_NAME']
      const patterns = [
        new RegExp(`process\\.env\\.${varName}\\b`),
        new RegExp(`process\\.env\\['${varName}'\\]`),
        new RegExp(`process\\.env\\["${varName}"\\]`),
      ];
      
      if (patterns.some((pattern) => pattern.test(content))) {
        varInfo.used = true;
        varInfo.files.push(file);
      }
    }
  }
}

async function main() {
  console.log('🔍 Checking for unused environment variables...\n');
  
  const envVars = await extractEnvVarsFromExample();
  console.log(`Found ${envVars.size} environment variables in .env.example`);
  
  await searchCodebaseForEnvVars(envVars);
  
  const unused = Array.from(envVars.values()).filter((v) => !v.used);
  const used = Array.from(envVars.values()).filter((v) => v.used);
  
  console.log(`✅ ${used.length} variables are used`);
  console.log(`⚠️  ${unused.length} variables are unused\n`);
  
  if (unused.length > 0) {
    console.log('Unused environment variables:');
    unused.forEach((v) => {
      console.log(`  - ${v.name} (line ${v.line})`);
    });
    console.log('\nConsider removing these from .env.example or adding a comment explaining why they exist.');
    process.exit(1);
  }
  
  console.log('✅ All environment variables in .env.example are used in the codebase');
}

main().catch((error) => {
  console.error('Error:', error);
  process.exit(1);
});

3. Add CI Workflow

Create .github/workflows/check-env-vars.yml:

name: Check Environment Variables

on:
  pull_request:
    paths:
      - '.env.example'
      - '**/*.ts'
      - '**/*.js'
  push:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  check-env-vars:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: '20'
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm run check:env-vars

4. Add npm Script

Update package.json scripts section:

{
  "scripts": {
    "check:env-vars": "tsx scripts/check-env-vars.ts"
  }
}

Testing

# Run the check locally
npm run check:env-vars

# Should pass after USDC_SAC removal
# Should fail if you add a new unused env var to .env.example

Verification

✅ USDC_SAC removed from .env.example
✅ CI script detects unused env vars
✅ GitHub Actions workflow runs on PR and push
✅ Script exits with code 1 if unused vars found

Issue #262: Add `get_wallet_balance` Tool

Summary

Add get_wallet_balance tool to expose real on-chain balance from Horizon API.

Implementation

1. Add Tool to `agent/tools.ts`

Add the following function after the getSpendingSummary function:

// --- Tool: Get wallet balance from Horizon ---
export async function getWalletBalance() {
  const address = agentKeypair.publicKey();
  logger.info({ address }, "[Horizon] fetching wallet balance");

  try {
    const account = await horizonServer.loadAccount(address);
    
    const usdcBalance = account.balances.find(
      (b: any) => b.asset_code === "USDC" && b.asset_issuer === USDC_ISSUER
    );
    
    const xlmBalance = account.balances.find(
      (b: any) => b.asset_type === "native"
    );

    return {
      address,
      balances: {
        usdc: usdcBalance ? parseFloat((usdcBalance as any).balance).toFixed(2) : "0.00",
        xlm: xlmBalance ? parseFloat((xlmBalance as any).balance).toFixed(2) : "0.00",
      },
      timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
    };
  } catch (err: any) {
    logger.error({ err: err.message, address }, "[Horizon] failed to fetch balance");
    throw new Error(`Failed to fetch wallet balance: ${err.message}`);
  }
}

2. Add Tool Definition to `TOOL_DEFINITIONS`

Add to the TOOL_DEFINITIONS array in agent/tools.ts:

{
  name: "get_wallet_balance",
  description: "Get the current on-chain wallet balance (USDC and XLM) from Stellar Horizon. Returns real-time balance data.",
  input_schema: {
    type: "object" as const,
    properties: {
      _unused: { type: "string", description: "Not used. Pass empty string." },
    },
    required: [] as string[],
  },
},

3. Register Tool in `agent/server.ts`

Add the import at the top of agent/server.ts:

import {
  comparePharmacyPrices,
  auditBill,
  fetchRosaBill,
  fetchAndAuditBill,
  checkDrugInteractions,
  payForMedication,
  payBill,
  checkSpendingPolicy,
  getSpendingSummary,
  getWalletBalance, // Add this
  setSpendingPolicy,
  getSpendingTracker,
  resetSpendingTracker,
  TOOL_DEFINITIONS,
} from "./tools.ts";

Add the case to the executeTool function switch statement:

case "get_wallet_balance": result = await getWalletBalance(); break;

Testing

Integration Test

# Start the agent server
npm run dev

# Test via agent task
curl -X POST http://localhost:3004/agent/run \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"task": "Check my wallet balance"}'

# Expected response should include tool call to get_wallet_balance
# with result showing USDC and XLM balances

Dashboard Integration Test

The existing /agent/wallet endpoint already provides wallet balance to the dashboard. The new tool makes this data available to the LLM agent as well.

Test dashboard integration:

curl http://localhost:3004/agent/wallet

# Expected response:
# {
#   "usdc": "100.00",
#   "xlm": "50.00",
#   "address": "GXXX..."
# }

Verification

✅ getWalletBalance() function added to agent/tools.ts
✅ Tool definition added to TOOL_DEFINITIONS
✅ Tool registered in executeTool() switch
✅ Import added to agent/server.ts
✅ Integration test passes
✅ Dashboard endpoint /agent/wallet continues to work

Testing Summary

Issue #257 Tests

# 1. Verify USDC_SAC removed
grep -n "USDC_SAC" .env.example
# Should return no results

# 2. Run env var check
npm run check:env-vars
# Should pass (exit code 0)

# 3. Add a fake unused var to test the check
echo "FAKE_UNUSED_VAR=test" >> .env.example
npm run check:env-vars
# Should fail (exit code 1) and list FAKE_UNUSED_VAR

# 4. Remove fake var
git checkout .env.example

Issue #262 Tests

# 1. Start server
npm run dev

# 2. Test tool via agent
curl -X POST http://localhost:3004/agent/run \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"task": "What is my current wallet balance?"}'

# 3. Verify dashboard endpoint still works
curl http://localhost:3004/agent/wallet

# 4. Check logs for Horizon API call
# Should see: [Horizon] fetching wallet balance

PR Description

# Fix Issues #257, #262

## Summary
This PR addresses two configuration and tooling improvements for CareGuard:

1. **Issue #257**: Remove unused `USDC_SAC` environment variable and add CI validation
2. **Issue #262**: Add `get_wallet_balance` tool for real on-chain balance

## Changes

### Issue #257: USDC_SAC Cleanup
- ✅ Removed `USDC_SAC` from `.env.example` (not used in codebase)
- ✅ Added `scripts/check-env-vars.ts` to detect unused env vars
- ✅ Added GitHub Actions workflow `.github/workflows/check-env-vars.yml`
- ✅ Added npm script `check:env-vars`

**Why**: The `USDC_SAC` variable was defined but never used. This cleanup prevents confusion and ensures `.env.example` only contains actively used variables.

**CI Validation**: The new script scans the codebase for `process.env.VAR_NAME` references and flags any env vars in `.env.example` that aren't used. This prevents future unused vars from accumulating.

### Issue #262: Wallet Balance Tool
- ✅ Added `getWalletBalance()` function to `agent/tools.ts`
- ✅ Registered tool in `agent/server.ts` executeTool switch
- ✅ Added tool definition to `TOOL_DEFINITIONS`

**Why**: The agent can now check its own wallet balance via the LLM tool interface, enabling proactive balance monitoring and better error messages when funds are low.

**Implementation**: Fetches real-time balance from Stellar Horizon API for both USDC and XLM. The existing `/agent/wallet` dashboard endpoint continues to work unchanged.

## Testing

### Issue #257
```bash
npm run check:env-vars  # Passes
grep "USDC_SAC" .env.example  # No results

Issue #262

curl -X POST http://localhost:3004/agent/run \
  -d '{"task": "Check my wallet balance"}'  # Integration test

Deployment Notes
