-## 1. Initialize
-
-Load all context in one call (paths only to minimize orchestrator context):
-
-```bash
-INIT=$(node ".rihal/bin/rihal-tools.cjs" init sprint-plan "$PHASE")
-if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi
-AGENT_SKILLS_RESEARCHER=$(node ".rihal/bin/rihal-tools.cjs" agent-skills rihal-phase-researcher 2>/dev/null)
-AGENT_SKILLS_PLANNER=$(node ".rihal/bin/rihal-tools.cjs" agent-skills rihal-planner 2>/dev/null)
-AGENT_SKILLS_CHECKER=$(node ".rihal/bin/rihal-tools.cjs" agent-skills rihal-sprint-checker 2>/dev/null)
-CONTEXT_WINDOW=$(node ".rihal/bin/rihal-tools.cjs" config-get context_window 2>/dev/null || echo "200000")
-
-# Detect UI signals in phase goal + CONTEXT.md to decide whether to load ui-brand.md (254 lines)
-PHASE_GOAL_HAS_UI=$(grep -iEl "frontend|ui|component|design|style|brand" \
-  .planning/phases/*${PHASE_NUMBER}*/*-CONTEXT.md \
-  .planning/ROADMAP.md 2>/dev/null | head -1)
-```
-
-When `CONTEXT_WINDOW >= 500000`, the planner prompt includes prior phase CONTEXT.md files so cross-phase decisions are consistent (e.g., "use library X for all data fetching" from Phase 2 is visible to Phase 5's planner).
-
-Parse JSON for: `researcher_model`, `planner_model`, `checker_model`, `research_enabled`, `plan_checker_enabled`, `nyquist_validation_enabled`, `commit_docs`, `text_mode`, `phase_found`, `phase_dir`, `phase_number`, `phase_name`, `phase_slug`, `padded_phase`, `has_research`, `has_context`, `has_reviews`, `has_plans`, `plan_count`, `phase_status`, `planning_exists`, `roadmap_exists`, `phase_req_ids`, `response_language`.
-
-**If `response_language` is set:** Include `response_language: {value}` in all spawned subagent prompts so any user-facing output stays in the configured language.
-
-**File paths (for <files_to_read> blocks):** `state_path`, `roadmap_path`, `requirements_path`, `context_path`, `research_path`, `verification_path`, `uat_path`, `reviews_path`. These are null if files don't exist.
-
-**If `planning_exists` is false:** Error — run `/rihal-new-project` first.
-
-## 2. Parse and Normalize Arguments
-
-Extract from $ARGUMENTS: phase number (integer or decimal like `2.1`), flags (`--research`, `--skip-research`, `--gaps`, `--skip-verify`, `--from-stub`, `--prd <filepath>`, `--reviews`, `--text`).
-
-Set `TEXT_MODE=true` if `--text` is present in $ARGUMENTS OR `text_mode` from init JSON is `true`. When `TEXT_MODE` is active, replace every `AskUserQuestion` call with a plain-text numbered list and ask the user to type their choice number. This is required for Claude Code remote sessions (`/rc` mode) where TUI menus don't work through the Claude App.
-
-Extract `--prd <filepath>` from $ARGUMENTS. If present, set PRD_FILE to the filepath.
-
-**Detect gaps mode:**
-```bash
-if [[ "$ARGUMENTS" =~ (^|[[:space:]])--gaps($|[[:space:]]) ]]; then
-  GAPS_MODE=true
-else
-  GAPS_MODE=false
-fi
-```
-
-When `GAPS_MODE=true`, the workflow switches to **gap-closure planning**: read the phase's VERIFICATION.md, extract verification gaps classified `gap_found` or `partial`, and produce a single new numbered plan file (`NNN-NN-SPRINT.md`) that closes them. Research, CONTEXT.md gating, and VALIDATION.md creation are skipped — gaps are grounded in already-shipped code, not new design work.
-
-**Detect from-stub mode (closes #736):**
-```bash
-if [[ "$ARGUMENTS" =~ (^|[[:space:]])--from-stub($|[[:space:]]) ]]; then
-  FROM_STUB_MODE=true
-else
-  FROM_STUB_MODE=false
-fi
-```
-
-When `FROM_STUB_MODE=true`, the workflow reads an existing stub `SPRINT.md` (or any `*-SPRINT.md`) already present in the phase directory and treats it as the authoritative task list — the researcher and CONTEXT.md gating are skipped. The stub is passed to the planner as `existing_stub_content` so it can refine, expand, and add implementation detail without rewriting the structure. This is the correct flow when a user has partially sketched a plan by hand or a prior workflow run created a skeleton.
-
-**From-stub resolution:**
-```bash
-if [[ "$FROM_STUB_MODE" == "true" ]]; then
-  STUB_FILE=$(ls "${PHASE_DIR}"/*-SPRINT.md 2>/dev/null | head -1)
-  if [[ -z "$STUB_FILE" ]]; then
-    echo "Error: --from-stub requires an existing SPRINT.md in the phase directory."
-    echo "Found: ${PHASE_DIR}"
-    echo "  (create a stub manually then re-run with --from-stub)"
-    exit 1
-  fi
-  STUB_CONTENT=$(cat "$STUB_FILE")
-  echo "◆ From-stub mode: using $(basename $STUB_FILE) as planner input"
-fi
-```
-
-When `FROM_STUB_MODE=true`: skip steps 4 (CONTEXT.md), 5 (Research), 5.5 (Validation strategy). Jump directly to step 8 (Spawn rihal-planner). Pass `STUB_CONTENT` and `STUB_FILE` to the planner prompt so it refines rather than replaces the stub.
-
-**If no phase number:** Detect next unplanned phase from roadmap.
-
-**If `phase_found` is false:** Validate phase exists in ROADMAP.md. If valid, create the directory using `phase_slug` and `padded_phase` from init:
-```bash
-mkdir -p ".planning/phases/${padded_phase}-${phase_slug}"
-```
-
-**Existing artifacts from init:** `has_research`, `has_plans`, `plan_count`.
-
-**TASKS.md ingestion (#385 chain).** If the phase directory contains a `TASKS.md` file (typically auto-extracted by `/rihal-add-phase` from a bulk `/rihal-quick` or `/rihal-do` route), read it now:
-
-```bash
-TASKS_FILE=".planning/phases/${padded_phase}-${phase_slug}/TASKS.md"
-HAS_TASKS=$([ -f "$TASKS_FILE" ] && echo true || echo false)
-```
-
-When `HAS_TASKS=true`:
-- Pass the TASKS.md content to the planner agent as authoritative phase scope. The planner uses it as the input list — each entry becomes a candidate sprint task in SPRINT.md.
-- Surface this in the opening banner: *"Phase scope source: TASKS.md ({N} entries auto-extracted from bulk route on {date})"*.
-- Do NOT re-prompt the user for scope when TASKS.md is present — they already provided the list once at the /rihal-quick or /rihal-do entry point. The whole point of the auto-route chain is that the user doesn't paste the same content multiple times.
-
-## 2.5. Validate `--reviews` Prerequisite
-
-**Skip if:** No `--reviews` flag.
-
-**If `--reviews` AND `--gaps`:** Error — cannot combine `--reviews` with `--gaps`. These are conflicting modes.
-
-**If `--reviews` AND `has_reviews` is false (no REVIEWS.md in phase dir):**
-
-Error:
-```
-No REVIEWS.md found for Phase {N}. Run reviews first:
-
-/rihal-review --phase {N}
-
-Then re-run /rihal-plan {N} --reviews
-```
-Exit workflow.
-
-## 3. Validate Phase
-
-```bash
-PHASE_INFO=$(node ".rihal/bin/rihal-tools.cjs" roadmap get-phase "${PHASE}")
-```
-
-**If `found` is false:** Error with available phases. **If `found` is true:** Extract `phase_number`, `phase_name`, `goal` from JSON.
-
-
-@rihal/workflows/plan-prd-express.md
-
-
-## 3.6. Handle `--gaps` Mode
-
-**Skip unless:** `GAPS_MODE=true`.
-
-**Purpose:** Read `NNN-VERIFICATION.md`, extract failing/partial gaps, count existing plan files, and prepare a `gap_list` payload to feed the planner. On completion, control flow continues at step 8 (skipping CONTEXT.md gating, research, and validation-strategy creation).
-
-**Step 1: Locate VERIFICATION.md**
-
-```bash
-PHASE_DIR=$(node ".rihal/bin/rihal-tools.cjs" roadmap get-phase "${PHASE}" --pick dir 2>/dev/null || echo "")
-# Fallback if --pick dir not supported. TODO(#118): expose roadmap --pick dir cleanly.
-if [[ -z "$PHASE_DIR" ]]; then
-  PHASE_DIR=$(ls -d .planning/phases/${padded_phase}-* 2>/dev/null | head -1)
-fi
-
-VERIFICATION_FILE=$(ls "${PHASE_DIR}"/*-VERIFICATION.md 2>/dev/null | head -1)
-```
-
-**If `VERIFICATION_FILE` is empty:**
-```
-Error: No VERIFICATION.md found for Phase {X}. Gap-closure planning requires the phase to have run through the verifier first.
-
-Try:
-  /rihal-execute {X} ${Rihal_WS}      # run or re-run execution + verification
-```
-Exit workflow.
-
-**Step 2: Extract gaps from VERIFICATION.md**
-
-Parse the file for gap entries with `status: gap_found` or `status: partial`. Inspect these sections:
-- `## Automated Gap` (or `## Automated Gaps`)
-- `## Human Verification Required`
-- Any findings block that includes a `status:` field set to `gap_found` or `partial`
-
-Collect into `GAP_LIST` (an ordered list where each entry has: id, title, expected, actual, status, source_section, severity if present).
-
-If `GAP_LIST` is empty, display:
-```
-Phase {X} VERIFICATION.md contains no gap_found or partial items — nothing to close.
-Report: {VERIFICATION_FILE}
-```
-Exit workflow.
-
-**Step 3: Determine next plan number**
-
-```bash
-EXISTING_PLAN_COUNT=$(ls "${PHASE_DIR}"/*-SPRINT.md 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
-# Issue #652 — no leading zeros in planning artifacts. Phase 8 not 08, plan 2 not 02.
-NEXT_PLAN_NUMBER=$((EXISTING_PLAN_COUNT + 1))
-PADDED_PHASE="${PHASE}"
-GAP_PLAN_FILENAME="${PADDED_PHASE}-${NEXT_PLAN_NUMBER}-SPRINT.md"
-GAP_PLAN_PATH="${PHASE_DIR}/${GAP_PLAN_FILENAME}"
-```
-
-If `EXISTING_PLAN_COUNT == 0`, there is no prior execution to reference. Display a warning but proceed — the planner can still close verification gaps.
-
-**Step 4: Gather prior plans for planner context**
-
-```bash
-EXISTING_PLAN_FILES=$(ls "${PHASE_DIR}"/*-SPRINT.md 2>/dev/null | tr '\n' ' ')
-EXISTING_SUMMARY_FILES=$(ls "${PHASE_DIR}"/*-SUMMARY.md 2>/dev/null | tr '\n' ' ')
-```
-
-**Step 5: Display banner**
-
-```
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- Rihal ► GAP-CLOSURE PLANNING — Phase {X}
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-
-Verification report: {VERIFICATION_FILE}
-Gaps to close:       {count(GAP_LIST)}
-Existing plans:      {EXISTING_PLAN_COUNT}
-New plan file:       {GAP_PLAN_FILENAME}
-```
-
-**Step 6: Skip ahead**
-
-Control flow jumps directly to step 8 (Spawn rihal-planner). Steps 4 (CONTEXT.md), 5 (Research), and 5.5 (Validation) are ALL skipped when `GAPS_MODE=true`.
-
-Step 8 will consume these variables when filling the planner prompt:
-- `GAP_LIST` — serialized list of gaps (id, title, expected, actual, status)
-- `GAP_PLAN_PATH` — exact output path the planner must write
-- `EXISTING_PLAN_FILES` / `EXISTING_SUMMARY_FILES` — prior phase context
-- `VERIFICATION_FILE` — authoritative source-of-truth
-
-After the planner returns, the existing plan-checker / revision loop (step 10 onward) runs unchanged — gap plans are verified just like normal plans.
-
-## 4. Load CONTEXT.md
-
-**Skip if:** PRD express path was used (CONTEXT.md already created in step 3.5) OR `GAPS_MODE=true` (gap closure is grounded in VERIFICATION.md, not CONTEXT.md).
-
-Check `context_path` from init JSON.
-
-If `context_path` is not null, display: `Using phase context from: ${context_path}`
-
-**If `context_path` is null (no CONTEXT.md exists):**
-
-Read discuss mode for context gate label:
-```bash
-DISCUSS_MODE=$(node ".rihal/bin/rihal-tools.cjs" config-get workflow.discuss_mode 2>/dev/null || echo "discuss")
-```
-
-If `TEXT_MODE` is true, present as a plain-text numbered list:
-```
-No CONTEXT.md found for Phase {X}. Plans will use research and requirements only — your design preferences won't be included.
-
-1. Continue without context — Plan using research + requirements only
-[If DISCUSS_MODE is "assumptions":]
-2. Gather context (assumptions mode) — Analyze codebase and surface assumptions before planning
-[If DISCUSS_MODE is "discuss" or unset:]
-2. Run discuss-phase first — Capture design decisions before planning
-
-Enter number:
-```
-
-Otherwise use AskUserQuestion:
-- header: "No context"
-- question: "No CONTEXT.md found for Phase {X}. Plans will use research and requirements only — your design preferences won't be included. Continue or capture context first?"
-- options:
-  - "Continue without context" — Plan using research + requirements only
-  If `DISCUSS_MODE` is `"assumptions"`:
-  - "Gather context (assumptions mode)" — Analyze codebase and surface assumptions before planning
-  If `DISCUSS_MODE` is `"discuss"` (or unset):
-  - "Run discuss-phase first" — Capture design decisions before planning
-
-If "Continue without context": Proceed to step 5.
-If "Run discuss-phase first":
-  **IMPORTANT:** Do NOT invoke discuss-phase as a nested Skill/Task call — AskUserQuestion
-  does not work correctly in nested subcontexts (#1009). Instead, display the command
-  and exit so the user runs it as a top-level command:
-  ```
-  Run this command first, then re-run /rihal-plan {X} ${Rihal_WS}:
-
-  /rihal-discuss-phase {X} ${Rihal_WS}
-  ```
-  **Exit the sprint-plan workflow. Do not continue.**

-
-
-## 6. Check Existing Plans
-
-```bash
-ls "${PHASE_DIR}"/*-SPRINT.md 2>/dev/null || true
-```
-
-**If exists AND `--reviews` flag:** Skip prompt — go straight to replanning (the purpose of `--reviews` is to replan with review feedback).
-
-**If exists AND no `--reviews` flag:** Ask the user what they'd like to do. Tailor the message to context — do NOT say "as per the workflow" or expose implementation details. Examples:
-
-- If `phase_status` is `complete` or `executed`:
-  > "Phase {N} ({name}) already shipped {plan_count} plans and is marked {status}. Do you want to review those plans, add more, or replan from scratch?"
-
-- If `phase_status` is `in_progress` or `planned` (or null):
-  > "Phase {N} ({name}) already has {plan_count} plan(s). Want to add more, review what's there, or start fresh?"
-
-Always offer exactly three numbered options:
-1. Add more plans
-2. View existing plans
-3. Replan from scratch
-
-Wait for the user's choice before proceeding. Do not auto-select.
-
-**If user picks option 1 (Add more plans) — issue #650:**
-
-This is **NOT** a license to hand-write a new SPRINT.md inline. Continue down the
-normal pipeline exactly as if no plans existed yet:
-
-1. Proceed to Step 7 (context-paths) and Step 7.5 (Nyquist verification) as normal.
-2. Spawn `rihal-planner` via `@rihal/workflows/plan-spawn-planner.md` (Step 8). The
-   planner subagent is mandatory — the orchestrator must NOT write SPRINT.md
-   directly via the `Write` tool. Pass the existing plan list to the planner so
-   it picks the next plan number and avoids re-covering shipped tasks.
-3. After the planner returns, run sprint-checker (Step 10) the same as a
-   first-time plan. The "PLANNED ✓" banner is gated on a passing CHECK.md.
-
-A run that emits a SPRINT.md without a corresponding planner Task() invocation
-in the same turn is a malfunction — see issue #650. Stop and report instead of
-shipping a hand-rolled plan.
-
-**If user picks option 3 (Replan from scratch):**
-
-Same as option 1, but pass the existing plans to the planner with a `replace:
-true` directive. Existing PLAN.md files are renamed to `*-SUPERSEDED.md` (do
-not delete) before the planner writes the new ones. Subagent invocation is
-still mandatory.
-
-**If user picks option 2 (View existing plans):**
-
-Display a sprint summary table (sprint id → one-line goal).
-
-Then run a **best-effort codebase overlap check** before showing the execute prompt — Closes #596.
-
-**This check is always informational. It never blocks, never errors, never fails the workflow.** If any step below cannot complete for any reason, skip it silently and proceed straight to the execute prompt.
-
-1. Read the SPRINT.md files for this phase (they are already on disk — no tool calls needed beyond `Read`).
-2. From each sprint's `files_modified:` frontmatter list, note which paths already exist on disk vs. which are new.
-3. Separately, look at the sprint *goals* and compare against modules/components the codebase already has. Use your knowledge from any files already read this session; do NOT spawn new reads just for this check.
-4. Report what you found — one compact block:
-
-```
-Codebase overlap check (best-effort):
-  ✓ N files already exist — plans will extend them
-  + M files are new — will be created
-  ⚠ Possible overlap: [file A] in the codebase may already cover [sprint X goal] — worth checking before executing
-```
-
-If nothing notable: one line — `No obvious conflicts detected.`
-
-**Hard rules (dead-ends — nothing here can cause failure):**
-- If a SPRINT.md can't be read → skip it, don't error
-- If files_modified is empty or absent → skip the file check, move on
-- If you're uncertain whether an overlap is real → don't mention it (false positives are noise)
-- If the whole check produces nothing → omit the block entirely, go straight to execute prompt
-- **Never ask a follow-up question about the overlap** — state it and move on
-- **Never refuse to show the execute prompt** because of an overlap finding
-
-Only after showing overlap results (or skipping them), show the execute prompt.
-
-## 7. Use Context Paths from INIT
-
-Extract from INIT JSON:
-
-```bash
-_rihal_field() { node -e "const o=JSON.parse(process.argv[1]); const v=o[process.argv[2]]; process.stdout.write(v==null?'':String(v))" "$1" "$2"; }
-STATE_PATH=$(_rihal_field "$INIT" state_path)
-ROADMAP_PATH=$(_rihal_field "$INIT" roadmap_path)
-REQUIREMENTS_PATH=$(_rihal_field "$INIT" requirements_path)
-RESEARCH_PATH=$(_rihal_field "$INIT" research_path)
-VERIFICATION_PATH=$(_rihal_field "$INIT" verification_path)
-UAT_PATH=$(_rihal_field "$INIT" uat_path)
-CONTEXT_PATH=$(_rihal_field "$INIT" context_path)
-REVIEWS_PATH=$(_rihal_field "$INIT" reviews_path)
-```
-
-## 7.5. Verify Nyquist Artifacts
-
-Skip if `nyquist_validation_enabled` is false OR `research_enabled` is false.
-
-Also skip if all of the following are true:
-- `research_enabled` is false
-- `has_research` is false
-- no `--research` flag was provided
-
-In that no-research path, Nyquist artifacts are **not required** for this run.
-
-```bash
-VALIDATION_EXISTS=$(ls "${PHASE_DIR}"/*-VALIDATION.md 2>/dev/null | head -1)
-```
-
-If missing and Nyquist is still enabled/applicable — ask user:
-1. Re-run: `/rihal-plan {PHASE} --research ${Rihal_WS}`
-2. Disable Nyquist with the exact command:
-   `node ".rihal/bin/rihal-tools.cjs" config-set workflow.nyquist_validation false`
-3. Continue anyway (plans fail Dimension 8)
-
-Proceed to Step 8 only if user selects 2 or 3.
-
-
-@rihal/workflows/plan-spawn-planner.md
-
-## 9. Handle Planner Return
-
-- **`## PLANNING COMPLETE`:** Display plan count. If `--skip-verify` or `plan_checker_enabled` is false (from init): skip to step 13. Otherwise: step 10.
-- **`## PHASE SPLIT RECOMMENDED`:** The planner determined the phase is too complex to implement all user decisions without simplifying them. Handle in step 9b.
-- **`## CHECKPOINT REACHED`:** Present to user, get response, spawn continuation (step 12)
-- **`## PLANNING INCONCLUSIVE`:** Show attempts, offer: Add context / Retry / Manual
-
-**Sprint count guard (token cost protection — closes #584):**
-
-After planner returns `## PLANNING COMPLETE`, immediately count sprint files:
-
-```bash
-MAX_SPRINTS=$($TOOL config-get workflow.max_sprints_per_phase 2>/dev/null || echo "4")
-SPRINT_COUNT=$(find "${PHASE_DIR}" -maxdepth 1 -name "*-SPRINT.md" | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
-```
-
-If `SPRINT_COUNT > MAX_SPRINTS`:
-
-```
-⚠ Phase {N}: Planner created {SPRINT_COUNT} sprint files (limit: {MAX_SPRINTS}).
-  This phase is too large — the sprint-checker will be expensive and revision
-  loops will multiply the cost.
-
-  Recommended: split this phase into two using /rihal-plan --split {N}
-
-Options:
-  1. Split phase now (recommended)
-  2. Continue anyway (accept higher token cost)
-  3. Re-plan with explicit 4-sprint limit
-```
-
-In `mode: yolo` / autonomous: auto-select option 3 (re-plan with limit). Do not halt or ask.
-
-Re-plan prompt appended: `"IMPORTANT: Create at most {MAX_SPRINTS} SPRINT.md files. Merge smaller tasks into the nearest related sprint instead of creating new ones."`
-
-## 9b. Handle Phase Split Recommendation
-
-When the planner returns `## PHASE SPLIT RECOMMENDED`, it means the phase has too many decisions to implement at full fidelity within the plan budget. The planner proposes groupings.
-
-**Extract from planner return:**
-- Proposed sub-phases (e.g., "17a: processing core (D-01 to D-19)", "17b: billing + config UX (D-20 to D-27)")
-- Which D-XX decisions go in each sub-phase
-- Why the split is necessary (decision count, complexity estimate)
-
-**Present to user:**
-```
-## Phase {X} is too complex for full-fidelity implementation
-
-The planner found {N} decisions that cannot all be implemented without
-simplifying some. Instead of reducing your decisions, we recommend splitting:
-
-**Option 1: Split into sub-phases**
-- Phase {X}a: {name} — {D-XX to D-YY} ({N} decisions)
-- Phase {X}b: {name} — {D-XX to D-YY} ({M} decisions)
-
-**Option 2: Proceed anyway** (planner will attempt all, quality may degrade)
-
-**Option 3: Prioritize** — you choose which decisions to implement now,
-rest become a follow-up phase
-```
-
-Use AskUserQuestion with these 3 options.
-
-**If "Split":** Use `/rihal-insert-phase` to create the sub-phases, then replan each.
-**If "Proceed":** Return to planner with instruction to attempt all decisions at full fidelity, accepting more plans/tasks.
-**If "Prioritize":** Use AskUserQuestion (multiSelect) to let user pick which D-XX are "now" vs "later". Create CONTEXT.md for each sub-phase with the selected decisions.

-## 11. Handle Checker Return
-
-- **`## VERIFICATION PASSED`:** Display confirmation, proceed to step 13.
-- **`## ISSUES FOUND`:** Display issues, check iteration count, proceed to step 12.
-
-**Thinking partner for architectural tradeoffs (conditional):**
-If `features.thinking_partner` is enabled, scan the checker's issues for architectural tradeoff keywords
-("architecture", "approach", "strategy", "pattern", "vs", "alternative"). If found:
-
-```
-The sprint-checker flagged an architectural decision point:
-{issue description}
-
-Brief analysis:
-- Option A: {approach_from_plan} — {pros/cons}
-- Option B: {alternative_approach} — {pros/cons}
-- Recommendation: {choice} aligned with {phase_goal}
-
-Apply this to the revision? [Yes] / [No, I'll decide]
-```
-
-If yes: include the recommendation in the revision prompt. If no: proceed to revision loop as normal.
-If thinking_partner disabled: skip this block entirely.
-
-## 12. Revision Loop (Max 3 Iterations, 1 in autonomous/yolo mode)
-
-**Mode-based iteration cap (token cost protection — closes #585):**
-
-```bash
-MAX_ITERATIONS=$($TOOL config-get workflow.max_checker_iterations 2>/dev/null || echo "")
-if [ -z "$MAX_ITERATIONS" ]; then
-  # Default: 1 in yolo/autonomous, 3 in guided
-  [ "$MODE" = "yolo" ] || [ -n "$AUTONOMOUS" ] && MAX_ITERATIONS=1 || MAX_ITERATIONS=3
-fi
-```
-
-Track `iteration_count` (starts at 1 after initial plan + check).
-Track `prev_issue_count` (initialized to `Infinity` before the loop begins).
-Track `stall_reentry_count` (starts at 0; incremented each time "Adjust approach" re-enters step 8).
-
-**If iteration_count < MAX_ITERATIONS:**
-
-**Sprint-checker malfunction guard (BLOCKER-class — added in v3.1.0 after #440):**
-
-Before parsing issues, verify the checker actually invoked tools. The checker MUST exhibit at least one of these evidence markers in its return:
-
-- A YAML `issues:` block (even an empty one — `issues: []`)
-- A YAML `verified_files:` block listing files it read
-- At least one `path:` field in any block (e.g. `path: src/components/Foo.tsx:42`)
-- A summary line of the form `Verified N of M files` or `Checked N symbols`
-
-If NONE of these evidence markers are present, the checker malfunctioned (returned narrative without invoking tools — see #440). BLOCK execution:
-
-```
-Display: "Sprint-checker returned without evidence of tool use — likely
-         malfunctioned (cf. issue #440). Refusing to advance the plan
-         on unverified output. Re-run /rihal-plan or inspect the agent."
-Halt the workflow with a non-zero exit signal.
-```
-
-Do NOT treat empty / narrative-only checker output as "plan approved". An empty checker output is a malfunction, not a pass.
-
-Parse issue count from checker return: count BLOCKER + WARNING entries in the YAML issues block (structured output from rihal-sprint-checker). If the checker's return contains a populated YAML issues block with `issues: []` (i.e., the plan was approved with no issues AFTER actual checking), treat `issue_count` as 0 and skip the stall check — the plan passed. Proceed to step 13.
-
-Display: `Revision iteration {N}/3 -- {blocker_count} blockers, {warning_count} warnings`
-
-**Stall detection:** If `issue_count >= prev_issue_count`:
-  Display: `Revision loop stalled — issue count not decreasing ({issue_count} issues remain after {N} iterations)`
-
-  **If `stall_reentry_count < 2`:**
-    Ask user:
-      Question: "Issues remain after {N} revision attempts with no progress. Proceed with current output?"
-      Options: "Proceed anyway" | "Adjust approach"
-    If "Proceed anyway": accept current plans and continue to step 13.
-    If "Adjust approach": increment `stall_reentry_count`, open freeform discussion, then re-enter step 8 (full replanning). Note: re-entry resets `iteration_count` and `prev_issue_count` but `stall_reentry_count` persists across re-entries and is capped at 2.
-
-  **If `stall_reentry_count >= 2`:**
-    Display: `Stall persists after 2 re-planning attempts. The following issues could not be resolved automatically:`
-    List the remaining issues from the checker.
-    Suggest: "Consider resolving these issues manually or running `/rihal-debug` to investigate root causes."
-    Options: "Proceed anyway" | "Abandon"
-    If "Proceed anyway": accept current plans and continue to step 13.
-    If "Abandon": stop workflow.
-
-Set `prev_issue_count = issue_count`.

-## 12.5. Wave Parallelism File-Overlap Check (added in v3.1.0 after #442)
-
-Before declaring plans ready, validate the wave-parallelism rule the planner declares: **same wave + overlapping `files_modified` = sequential, not parallel**. If two plans share `depends_on` (same wave) and both list the same file in `files_modified`, the planner should have marked the later one `sequential: true`. Catch the cases where it didn't.
-
-```bash
-# For every pair of plans (A, B) with the same depends_on:
-#   if files_modified(A) ∩ files_modified(B) is non-empty:
-#     - the later plan (by sprint id) MUST declare sequential: true
-#     - and must list the conflicting files in its frontmatter
-
-node ".rihal/bin/rihal-tools.cjs" plan check-wave-overlaps "${PHASE_NUMBER}"
-```
-
-The CLI helper returns a JSON report:
-
-```json
-{
-  "conflicts": [
-    {
-      "wave": 2,
-      "plan_a": "96.2",
-      "plan_b": "96.3",
-      "shared_files": ["src/components/LeadDetailPanel.tsx", "src/styles/inbox.css"],
-      "plan_b_sequential": false
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-**If `conflicts` is non-empty:**
-
-1. For each conflict, edit the later plan's SPRINT.md frontmatter to add:
-   ```yaml
-   sequential: true
-   sequential_after: <plan_a id>
-   conflicting_files: [<shared_files...>]
-   ```
-2. Recompute waves: the formerly-parallel plan now depends on the earlier one, so its wave is `max(waves of dependencies) + 1`.
-3. Re-run the checker to confirm the updated frontmatter.
-4. Display: `Wave parallelism: {N} conflict(s) auto-corrected to sequential.`
-
-**If `conflicts` is empty:** Display `Wave parallelism: ✓ no file-overlap conflicts.` and proceed.
-
-This closes the gap from #442 — the rule was stated in `rihal-planner.md` but not enforced. Now it's enforced automatically.
-
-## 13. Requirements Coverage Gate
-
-After plans pass the checker (or checker is skipped), verify that all phase requirements are covered by at least one plan.
-
-**Skip if:** `phase_req_ids` is null or TBD (no requirements mapped to this phase).
-
-**Step 1: Extract requirement IDs claimed by plans**
-```bash
-# Collect all requirement IDs from plan frontmatter
-PLAN_REQS=$(grep -h "requirements_addressed\|requirements:" ${PHASE_DIR}/*-SPRINT.md 2>/dev/null | tr -d '[]' | tr ',' '\n' | sed 's/^[[:space:]]*//' | sort -u)
-```
-
-**Step 2: Compare against phase requirements from ROADMAP**
-
-For each REQ-ID in `phase_req_ids`:
-- If REQ-ID appears in `PLAN_REQS` → covered ✓
-- If REQ-ID does NOT appear in any plan → uncovered ✗
-
-**Step 3: Check CONTEXT.md features against plan objectives**
-
-Read CONTEXT.md `<decisions>` section. Extract feature/capability names. Check each against plan `<objective>` blocks. Features not mentioned in any plan objective → potentially dropped.
-
-**Step 4: Report**
-
-If all requirements covered and no dropped features:
-```
-✓ Requirements coverage: {N}/{N} REQ-IDs covered by plans
-```
-→ Proceed to step 14.
-
-If gaps found:
-```
-## ⚠ Requirements Coverage Gap
-
-{M} of {N} phase requirements are not assigned to any plan:
-
-| REQ-ID | Description | Plans |
-|--------|-------------|-------|
-| {id} | {from REQUIREMENTS.md} | None |
-
-{K} CONTEXT.md features not found in plan objectives:
-- {feature_name} — described in CONTEXT.md but no plan covers it
-
-Options:
-1. Re-plan to include missing requirements (recommended)
-2. Move uncovered requirements to next phase
-3. Proceed anyway — accept coverage gaps
-```
-
-If `TEXT_MODE` is true, present as a plain-text numbered list (options already shown in the block above). Otherwise use AskUserQuestion to present the options.
-
-## 13b. Record Planning Completion in STATE.md
-
-After plans pass all gates, record that planning is complete so STATE.md reflects the new phase status:
-
-```bash
-node ".rihal/bin/rihal-tools.cjs" state planned-phase --phase "${PHASE_NUMBER}" --name "${PHASE_NAME}" --plans "${PLAN_COUNT}"
-```
-
-This updates STATUS to "Ready to execute", sets the correct plan count, and timestamps Last Activity.
-
-## 14. Present Final Status
-
-Route to `<offer_next>` OR `auto_advance` depending on flags/config.
-
-## 15. Auto-Advance Check
-
-Check for auto-advance trigger:
-
-1. Parse `--auto` and `--chain` flags from $ARGUMENTS
-2. **Sync chain flag with intent** — if user invoked manually (no `--auto` and no `--chain`), clear the ephemeral chain flag from any previous interrupted `--auto` chain. This does NOT touch `workflow.auto_advance` (the user's persistent settings preference):
-   ```bash
-   if [[ ! "$ARGUMENTS" =~ --auto ]] && [[ ! "$ARGUMENTS" =~ --chain ]]; then
-     node ".rihal/bin/rihal-tools.cjs" config-set workflow._auto_chain_active false 2>/dev/null
-   fi
-   ```
-3. Read both the chain flag and user preference:
-   ```bash
-   AUTO_CHAIN=$(node ".rihal/bin/rihal-tools.cjs" config-get workflow._auto_chain_active 2>/dev/null || echo "false")
-   AUTO_CFG=$(node ".rihal/bin/rihal-tools.cjs" config-get workflow.auto_advance 2>/dev/null || echo "false")
-   ```
-
-**If `--auto` or `--chain` flag present AND `AUTO_CHAIN` is not true:** Persist chain flag to config (handles direct invocation without prior discuss-phase):
-```bash
-if ([[ "$ARGUMENTS" =~ --auto ]] || [[ "$ARGUMENTS" =~ --chain ]]) && [[ "$AUTO_CHAIN" != "true" ]]; then
-  node ".rihal/bin/rihal-tools.cjs" config-set workflow._auto_chain_active true
-fi
-```
-
-**If `--auto` or `--chain` flag present OR `AUTO_CHAIN` is true OR `AUTO_CFG` is true:**
-
-Display banner:
-```
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- Rihal ► AUTO-ADVANCING TO EXECUTE
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-
-Plans ready. Launching execute-phase...
-```
-
-Launch execute-phase using the Skill tool to avoid nested Task sessions (which cause runtime freezes due to deep agent nesting):
-```
-Skill(skill="rihal-execute", args="${PHASE} --auto --no-transition ${Rihal_WS}")
-```
-
-The `--no-transition` flag tells execute-phase to return status after verification instead of chaining further. This keeps the auto-advance chain flat — each phase runs at the same nesting level rather than spawning deeper Task agents.
-
-**Handle execute-phase return:**
-- **PHASE COMPLETE** → Display final summary:
-  ```
-  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

-  Next: /rihal-discuss-phase ${NEXT_PHASE} --auto ${Rihal_WS}

-- **GAPS FOUND / VERIFICATION FAILED** → Display result, stop chain:
-  ```
-  Auto-advance stopped: Execution needs review.
-
-  Review the output above and continue manually:
-  /rihal-execute ${PHASE} ${Rihal_WS}
-  ```
-
-**If neither `--auto` nor config enabled:**
-Route to `<offer_next>` (existing behavior).

-<banner_emission_gate>
-Issue #655 — the success banner is gated on real verification, not vibes.
-Before emitting `PLANNED ✓`, confirm one of these is true:
-
-1. A passing CHECK.md exists at `${PHASE_DIR}/*-CHECK.md` from rihal-sprint-checker
-   in this run AND its overall verdict is `pass` (or `pass-with-cautions`).
-2. The user has explicitly said "skip verification" / "override" this run AND that
-   override is recorded in the offer-next output's `Verification:` field as
-   `Passed with override`.
-3. `plan_checker_enabled` is false in config — recorded as `Verification: Skipped
-   (config-disabled)`.
-
-If none of the three holds (sprint-checker was never spawned, or it returned a
-fail verdict, or its CHECK.md is missing) — DO NOT emit `PLANNED ✓`. Emit:
-
-```
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- Rihal ► PHASE {X} PLANNED ⚠ (gates skipped)
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-
-Plans were written but rihal-sprint-checker did not return a passing
-CHECK.md. Run /rihal-plan {X} --reviews to gate the plans before
-executing, or pass --skip-verify if you accept the risk.
-```
-
-The same rule applies to `VERIFIED ✓` (after /rihal-verify-phase) and
-`DONE ✓` (after /rihal-execute) — the success-tick is reserved for
-gate-passed states.

-<windows_troubleshooting>
-**Windows users:** If sprint-plan freezes during agent spawning (common on Windows due to
-stdio deadlocks with MCP servers — see Claude Code issue anthropics/claude-code#28126):
-
-1. **Force-kill:** Close the terminal (Ctrl+C may not work)
-2. **Clean up orphaned processes:**
-   ```powershell
-   # Kill orphaned node processes from stale MCP servers
-   Get-Process node -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Where-Object {$_.StartTime -lt (Get-Date).AddHours(-1)} | Stop-Process -Force
-   ```
-3. **Clean up stale task directories:**
-   ```powershell
-   # Remove stale subagent task dirs (Claude Code never cleans these on crash)
-   Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\tasks\*" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
-   ```
-4. **Reduce MCP server count:** Temporarily disable non-essential MCP servers in settings.json
-5. **Retry:** Restart Claude Code and run `/rihal-plan` again
-
-If freezes persist, try `--skip-research` to reduce the agent chain from 3 to 2 agents:
-```
-/rihal-plan N --skip-research
-```
