Hi Jerry,
Hope you are well. At a recent inspection I called out a plug-in-type main breaker backfeeding a main panel with no retainer clip (picture in attachment). The service person (plumbing, heating, air and electrical) wrote this in his report and I have no idea what he is talking about.
"The 100 amp breaker does not need a retaining clip, because it is loaded out to the 80%/125% rule per the NEC."
Could you help to clarify this. Thank you!!

Thanks Jerry. I'm pretty sure the guy either didn't want to repair it or didn't know how to repair it.
