+/**
+ * ScopePlan resolver parity tests (issue #1521 step 2).
+ *
+ * These tests snapshot the effective namespace sets the resolver produces for a
+ * fixed matrix of inputs. The snapshots were derived by tracing the pre-migration
+ * inline resolution in `orchestrator.recallInternal` and
+ * `orchestrator.enqueueDirectAnswerObservation` — the SAME helpers in the SAME
+ * order. They MUST NOT change when consumers switch from the inline code to the
+ * resolver; if they do, the resolver diverged and must be corrected before
+ * migration lands.
+ *
+ * Input matrix (issue #1521 step 2):
+ *  - default namespace (no policies, no coding context)
+ *  - named namespace (explicit override, readable)
+ *  - coding overlay (project scope and branch scope)
+ *  - sparse metadata (empty/missing fields, no session key)
+ *  - legacy `agent:*` session keys
+ *  - scope-profile plan (active profile)
+ *  - explicit namespace override (unreadable falls through)

+/**
+ * ScopePlan resolver (issue #1521).
+ *
+ * A single pure function that resolves every namespace-bearing read/write path
+ * to one {@link ScopePlan} value object. Consumers (recall tiers, QMD router,
+ * LCM reads, maintenance) never call the ad-hoc resolution helpers directly —
+ * they receive a resolved plan and read its fields.
+ *
+ * The resolver DELEGATES to the existing helpers (`resolvePrincipal`,
+ * `recallNamespacesForPrincipal`, `resolveCodingNamespaceOverlay`,
+ * `resolveScopeProfilePlan`, `expandScopeProfileReadNamespaces`,
+ * `combineNamespaces`, `lcmReadSessionIdsForNamespaces`) — no logic rewrite.
+ * The ad-hoc inline resolution that previously lived in the orchestrator's
+ * `recallInternal` and `enqueueDirectAnswerObservation` paths is replaced by a
+ * single call to {@link resolveScopePlan}, eliminating the duplicated
+ * namespace-set construction that produced the largest share of #1519's review
+ * threads (scope-profile recall paths missing `readFallbacks` appends).
+ *
+ * Migration tranches (issue #1521 step 4):
+ *  - recall tiers (this PR): the two orchestrator recall entry points consume
+ *    the plan instead of building `recallNamespaces`/`observationNamespaces`
+ *    inline;
+ *  - QMD router calls, LCM reads, maintenance: follow-up PRs.
+ *
+ * CLAUDE.md rules honoured (pitfalls from the issue):
+ *  - rule 42: read/write resolve through the same layer; the coding overlay is
+ *    COMBINED with the principal base via `combineNamespaces`;
+ *  - rule 39: feature gates identical across every path the plan feeds;
+ *  - rule 22/48: LCM keys derived through `lcmSessionKeyForNamespace` (via
+ *    `lcmReadSessionIdsForNamespaces`), never hardcoded `:`-joins; unscoped LCM
+ *    search stays suppressed when `namespacesEnabled`.
