-// The objective plan-factory's warm transition surface. Two pieces:
+// The v1 Pi installer for the objective planning flow (module-contracts.md's named-installer
+// shape): `installObjectivePlanningBindings` owns the `objective_node` /
+// `explore_objective_node` / `reconcile_objective` / `add_objective_node` tools and the
+// `/objective-plan` + `/objective-reconcile` commands — registration metadata pinned by the
+// suite's registration-parity tests.
+// The feature policy (the completion-audit gate, the claim-carrier maintenance, the three-tier
+// reconcile resolution) lives in `authoring/objective/planning.ts`; this module decodes at the
+// tool boundary, builds the cold-door backend adapters and argv, and renders the Result
+// envelopes.
 //
-//   1. `/objective-plan [<number>] [--node ID]` — the warm entry: resolve the objective (arg, else
-//      `active_objective` from the rebuilt `perk:workflow-state`), enter the read-only gate when it
-//      is off (parity with the cold door's `mode: read-only` handoff claim; skip-if-active; exit
-//      stays owned by `plan_save` / `/plan` off), and `pi.sendUserMessage(...)` to start the
-//      factory loop in-session (mirrors `/address`). Headless-safe.
+// `explore_objective_node` stays ADAPTER-tier by design (wave mechanics + Result rendering, no
+// feature policy): the private flow runs the read-only `perk.objective-explorer` child through
+// the report-wave module (ONE lane, engine-validated report schema) over the production RPC
+// adapter; the configured `[models.subagents] objective-explorer` model is composed at the
+// registration site. Tests drive the REGISTERED tool over a fake RPC responder — no alternate
+// adapter exists, so no adapter seam is exported.
 //
-//   2. `objective_node` tool — the BOUNDED model-facing transition surface. It DELEGATES the
-//      mutation to the Python cold door (`perk objective node`, canonical mutations in Python) and
-//      NEVER throws (soft `details.ok`, mirrors `resolveReviewThreads`). Its description strictly
-//      bounds when it may fire; a `status:"done"` call requires a non-trivial completion `audit`.
-//
-//   3. `explore_objective_node` tool — the OPTIONAL exploration half: runs the read-only
-//      `perk.objective-explorer` child through the report-wave module (ONE lane, engine-validated
-//      report schema, the configured `[models.subagents] objective-explorer` model read at execute
-//      time) so nothing schema-shaped is model-transcribed. Soft-fails loudly; the flow's posture
-//      on failure stays "explore directly instead" (guidance-owned).
-//
-// The completion-audit gate is a property of THIS model-facing boundary only — NOT an invariant on
-// the node-`done` state: the canonical `perk objective node --status done` (human/CI cold CLI) has
-// no audit gate, and the auto-on-merge node-done deliberately sets `done` without one. Both are
-// intentional non-audited paths; the structural refusal protects the model's path only. The
-// "are we done?" judgment text lives in the perk-objective-plan skill.
+// The completion-audit gate is a property of the MODEL-FACING boundary only (see
+// `authoring/objective/planning.ts`); the canonical cold CLI and the auto-on-merge node-done
+// are intentional non-audited paths.
