 One plugin. One or two reviewers. Configure everything inside OpenCode.
 
+**Build in phases:** agree on shared architecture, review the next useful phase, then build. Later issues stay tracked and block their dependent work. [How phase planning works](docs/phase-planning.md).

 **Optional Impeccable guidance:** your design lead decides; your implementation model builds the approved design. Set it up below.
 
 **Requirements:** OpenCode 2, Node.js 22+, Git and Python 3. Windows and Linux; experimental macOS support.

 If saved report text is truncated, use `hybrid_checkpoint` with `action=research`, `kind=report` and `reportCall`; follow the returned next-page command. Select `reportSection` (recovery, report, findings or all) and `reportOffset` for complete access. This reads existing evidence without a model call or approval change. Do not call plan/escalate just to repeat or shorten a saved report.
 
 When planning is rejected, follow `planningNext`. Send unclear/disputed findings or exact research/tool failures to `hybrid_checkpoint escalate` with factual `checks`. The configured premium lead evaluates their validity and specifies research, a corrected plan/rebuttal for resubmission, a concrete developer question, or a missing capability to repair. Gather requested public evidence; never invent architecture/security contracts or dismiss findings yourself. Submit evidence to `plan`. An advisory escalation is not approval; the normal current-plan reviews must explicitly resolve findings, including a reviewer withdrawing its own mistaken issue with a reason. Do not suggest resetting/disabling Hybrid to bypass the gate. Respect explicit user pauses and requested handoffs. Transport failures are not new product defects or permission to erase findings.
+
+
+## Phase-scoped planning
+
+For a substantial product, premium planners establish shared architecture and a dependency roadmap, then fully specify one useful production phase. Preserve feasibility, security/data boundaries and cross-phase invariants. Do not require detailed implementations or runtime proof for unrelated future phases. Both configured reviewers assess the same candidate; at least one must pass and no unresolved medium/high/critical finding may affect the current phase or its dependencies.
+
+Later-only findings remain open with their original severity and provenance. Every reviewer must explicitly verify the boundary, target phase, blocked operation and required evidence before independent work can proceed. These are obligations, never waivers. Current-phase or global defects still block. Build follows the approved scope and blocked operations; it cannot classify a finding away itself.
+
+Use `amend-phase` with concrete checks for a focused current-phase correction. It preserves completed phases and closes writes until reapproval. Use `replan` for a material shared architecture/roadmap change; developer approval rules still apply. After code batches pass, continue remaining phase work. Use `next-phase` only when both reviewers confirm all current acceptance criteria, then plan the next phase in the same task. Use `finish` only after the final phase. Never restart, reset or disable the workflow to bypass a finding.

 Do not require tests for trivial cosmetic work. Give concrete file/line evidence and actionable fixes for material issues.
 Return exactly the requested JSON object: verdict is pass/revise/blocked, report is a nonempty string, findings is an array of structured objects matching the schema. Findings describe OPEN issues only. Each needs a stable id, severity (critical/high/medium/low/info), category (defect/evidence/preference), summary, evidence, consequence and a concrete resolution condition. Reuse prior IDs for the same issue. Never invent evidence.
 For non-recovery stages return recovery:null; a recovery directive never grants approval. Return verifiedResolutions as an array (empty when none). For each of YOUR previously reported tracked issues that is now resolved, supply its harness ID from trackedFindings and concrete current-artifact verification evidence: a source/contract argument or relevant executed check. Omission, an implementer claim, or another reviewer's pass never closes it. Keep unresolved issues in findings using their harness IDs (HF-...) so revised wording stays associated with the original requirement; use new IDs for new defects. Do not simultaneously report and resolve the same issue. Independent reviewers retain their own dissent. Source/evidence transport failures require capability repair, never invented product defects or approval.
-Critical/high means a concrete major correctness/security/data-loss defect, a violated explicit requirement, or missing essential evidence for the CURRENT phase. Medium means a material correctness, integration, maintainability or verification issue that must be resolved before approval. Medium, high and critical findings ALL block progress. Only low/info findings are nonblocking improvements or bounded tradeoffs. A personal preference cannot be medium/high/critical. Do not disguise preferences as defects. If a preferred design is actually necessary, name the violated requirement and failure scenario. Severity describes impact, not confidence; uncertainty must be resolved with evidence, never downgraded merely to open the gate.
+Critical/high means a concrete major correctness/security/data-loss defect, a violated explicit requirement, or missing essential evidence for the CURRENT phase.

Severity describes impact, not confidence; uncertainty must be resolved with evidence, never downgraded merely to open the gate.
 pass means the supplied artifact is acceptable to proceed, possibly with low/info advisories. revise means a specific change is recommended. blocked requires a medium/high/critical issue that cannot be resolved from available evidence. A pass cannot contain medium/high/critical issues. If only preferences remain and the plan satisfies requirements, pass with low/info advisories. Verify previous blocking findings in the report; do not drop them because another model claims they were fixed. Previously saved medium planning advisories remain issues to verify, not permission to waive them under the older policy.
-For BOTH planning and code review, progress requires at least one pass and ZERO medium/high/critical findings from BOTH completed reviewers of the SAME artifact. Do not negotiate severity to obtain approval. The planning lead selects among acceptable options using explicit user constraints first, then correctness/security, maintainability, delivery effort and operating cost; prefer the simplest adequate solution. Record selected/rejected options and the reason. No extra requirements or unrelated redesigns.

Record selected/rejected options and the reason. No extra requirements or unrelated redesigns.
 When the owner changes reviewer settings, the replacement inherits its assigned slot's unresolved findings. A removed slot transfers unresolved findings to the selected lead. The reviewerHandoff and originReviewer fields preserve provenance: the assigned successor must explicitly verify or withdraw inherited findings using their HF IDs, just as the original reviewer would. Old reports remain historical evidence and cannot count as the new reviewer's pass. A change of reviewer alone does not invalidate an already accepted plan/design contract or justify starting over.
 For code review, judge the submitted coherent work and its dependencies, not whether every later part of the project already exists. An acceptable repository module can pass before its caller/UI is built. Track unfinished milestone work explicitly in the report for the next implementation step; do not withhold batch approval solely because a future component is absent. Missing work that makes the submitted code incorrect or unsafe IS a real finding. A batch pass is not project completion. There is no code-line, correction-round or lifetime-call quota: fix and review until the actual approval condition is met. Do not remove tests, downgrade defects, or split away a necessary dependency to obtain a pass.
 For UI implementation reviews compare the supplied approved design-lead document or established/provided references against the actual implementation. Material unauthorized visual/interaction decisions or unmet design contracts are requirements defects, not optional taste. Ask for actual screenshot/interaction evidence when needed; never claim visual inspection from code or a text-only description. Route changes to the design itself back to the configured design lead and reviewer; implementation agents fix fidelity defects without inventing new design.

+export const PHASE_POLICY=`Phase-scoped planning preserves complete architecture quality. For a substantive multi-phase product, return phasePlan with shared architecture (including feasibility, security/data boundaries and cross-phase invariants), an ordered dependency roadmap, and one meaningful active phase. Use null for cohesive work needing no phase split. Return phasePlan:null, phaseDeferrals:[] and phaseComplete:null where these fields are inapplicable. The first phase is the first roadmap item. Define current scope, acceptance, explicit allowedPaths (files or directory prefixes ending /), and blockedOperations. Keep report focused on the shared architecture and this phase; do not author detailed future implementations. Never split away a necessary dependency or defer a fundamental feasibility/security issue affecting current work.
+Both reviewers validate the SAME current-phase candidate and shared architecture. At least one pass and no unresolved medium/high/critical issue affecting current scope or dependencies are required. To move a known planning finding to a later phase, the lead lists its HF ID, target phase, concrete reason current work is independent, blockedOperation and requiredEvidence in phasePlan.deferredFindings. Every reviewer must explicitly confirm each sound boundary in phaseDeferrals [{id,evidence}]; do not list that later-only issue as a current finding. Unsupported deferrals require a current finding. This never resolves, downgrades or erases the issue; the originating/successor reviewer must actually resolve it before its dependent phase. Cross-phase and global risks stay current blockers. Never copy another reviewer's HF ID into your own findings merely to repeat their dissent; the ledger already preserves it. Report a distinct concrete concern if one exists.
+For plan-proposal return phasePlan:null and concise independent decisions/risks, not a second complete plan. The lead supplies phasePlan at synthesis. A blocked PHASED draft still goes to independent validation; reviewers must resolve its author findings or verify valid later boundaries. Subsequent amendments reuse the saved candidate and focus on changed evidence/affected dependencies, retaining full source access. Don't reopen unrelated settled decisions or silently change shared architecture. A shared architecture/roadmap change requires replan and renewed review of dependent work. Research gathers exact source evidence and separates quotations from conclusions; implementation must not invent contracts or select replacement packages in a research note.
+Use amend-phase with concrete checks for current scope/acceptance corrections without resetting completed phases; this closes writes until both reviewers evaluate the amended phase. During implementation/review follow the approved phase and blocked operations. phaseComplete=true is a reviewer assessment that ALL current phase acceptance obligations are evidenced, not merely that a code batch passes. Both reviewers must confirm completion before next-phase. next-phase advances the same task to planning for the next roadmap item and retains evidence, findings and history. finish cannot end a task with uncompleted phases. Do not turn a production phase into a throwaway demo: test fixtures are verification tools, not delivery scope. No phase-count, call or correction quotas are introduced.`;

+# Plan enough to build safely
+
+For a substantial product, Hybrid plans the shared architecture and a dependency roadmap, then specifies one useful production phase. Small cohesive tasks still use one plan. There is no required number of phases or review rounds.
+
+The shared plan must answer feasibility, responsibility/data boundaries, security invariants and major dependencies. The current phase adds concrete scope, source paths and acceptance criteria. Later phases need a goal and dependencies, not another complete implementation plan.
+
+| Concern | Required checkpoint |
+| --- | --- |
+| Fundamental feasibility or a shared security/data boundary | Architecture approval |
+| A contract needed by the current implementation | Current phase approval |
+| A later integration's implementation detail | Before its dependent phase or operation is accepted |
+| Whether built code satisfies the contract | Implementation reviews and executed checks |
+| All remaining production obligations | Final completion/release review |
+
+## Findings stay accountable
+
+Every configured reviewer validates the same candidate. At least one must pass, with no unresolved medium/high/critical issue affecting current work or its dependencies. A blocked phased draft can reach independent validation; this is not implementation approval.
+
+The planning lead may propose that a known finding belongs to a later phase. It must identify the finding, target phase, why current work is independent, the operation that remains blocked and the evidence needed. Every reviewer must explicitly verify that boundary. The finding stays open with its original severity and provenance. When its phase arrives, its assigned reviewer must resolve it using evidence. A new global or current-phase issue still blocks work.
+
+For example, unresolved credential renewal can block a connection integration without blocking independent pure domain rules. It cannot be deferred if current work already depends on credential assumptions. Test fixtures are verification aids, not a replacement for the requested product.
+
+## Work moves forward in the same task
+
+1. Plan shared architecture and the first phase; both reviewers validate it.
+2. Build and review useful batches. A batch pass permits progress but does not certify all phase acceptance criteria.
+3. Both reviewers confirm phase completion against the current source and acceptance evidence.
+4. `next-phase` retains findings, reports, completed work and task identity, then opens planning for the next phase. It does not reset the task.
+5. `finish` succeeds only after the final phase and remaining blocking obligations are resolved.
+
+The implementation agent invokes these checkpoint actions; users do not need a new setup command. A focused `amend-phase` closes writes until the changed current scope is reviewed and preserves completed phases. Shared architecture or roadmap changes require `replan` and renewed dependent review. Framework/library deviations still require specific developer approval.
+
+Subsequent phases and amendments reuse the accepted architecture and candidate. Reviewers examine changed evidence and affected dependencies with full source available, rather than generating two new independent whole-product proposals. Genuine newly discovered risks can reopen affected decisions.
+
+## Enforcement and compatibility
+
+Approval binds the phase contract, candidate and source evidence. Direct editor paths are checked before edits, including linked-directory/file rejection; snapshot review rejects source changes outside approved paths. This is workflow enforcement, not an operating-system sandbox: arbitrary shell/MCP effects and excluded/generated files are not comprehensively confined. Blocked operations remain explicit implementation and reviewer obligations under the host's permissions.
+
+Older unphased tasks remain readable. An existing planning task can adopt a jointly approved phased candidate without losing history. Active phased state uses a distinct persisted phase marker so older plugin versions fail closed instead of interpreting one phase as the completed project. Resume with this release or newer; do not clear state to downgrade. Completed tasks retain the ordinary completion marker.
+
+Deterministic tests establish state transitions and rejection cases; they do not prove that every live model will scope a plan correctly or predict a token/time saving. Actual reviewer output must meet the same schema and approval rules.

-# Planning recovery
-
-The implementation model collects facts and builds the approved design. Premium planners evaluate architectural/security choices and decide whether findings are valid. A closed planning gate is not a reason to reset a task or disable Hybrid.
-
-When a finding or requested correction is unclear, disputed or blocked by a missing capability, call `hybrid_checkpoint` with `action: "escalate"` and the observations in `checks`. This sends the current plan, finding history and research evidence to the configured planning lead. It preserves the task, reviewer assignments and approvals.
-
-The lead returns a `planningNext` directive:
-
-| Kind | Next step |
-| --- | --- |
-| Research | Collect the specific public facts/excerpts, save attributed evidence through `research` and return it to `plan`. Do not invent architecture contracts. |
-| Resubmit | Submit the lead's corrected contract or rebuttal through normal planning validation. |
-| Developer | Present the specific question, options and consequences; wait for the developer. |
-| Tooling | Explain the exact missing access/capability and repair required. Do not repeatedly retry an unchanged failure. |
-
-An advisory escalation never grants implementation approval or closes findings. A reviewer can explicitly withdraw its own mistaken finding with a reason through `verifiedResolutions`; another model's pass or the implementer's assertion cannot erase dissent. Normal current-plan validation still requires the configured reports, at least one pass, and no unresolved medium/high/critical finding. Reserved developer decisions remain reserved.
-
-On supported OpenCode hosts, a visible premature stop after active planning work can receive a continuation inside the same execution. It routes through the next step above, respects interruptions and explicit waiting instructions, excludes children/reviewer sessions and pending question-tool interactions, and suppresses unchanged recovery loops. It does not start a background session or resume an interrupted one. An already-idle conversation still needs a normal user message to resume.
-
-Native reviewers use captured evidence and approved documentation/browser tools. This feature does not add unrestricted web search. The implementation agent may gather the lead's requested documentation using its available tools; the premium lead evaluates it. External evidence remains untrusted and must contain no credentials or private source sent to public research services.
-
-Older saved tasks remain readable. The report schema adds a nullable `recovery` object for new responses; existing receipts without it remain accepted. For a recovery response, verdicts retain their usual meaning: a missing essential fact uses `blocked` with an actionable research directive, not `pass` with a medium finding. JSON syntax and schema/verdict errors are reported separately.
-
-## Original user decisions
-
-Checkpoints now attach the original user messages exposed by OpenCode, with session/message IDs and dates. Both reviewers receive the same captured evidence. An explicit scope change in chat can supersede an old brief; you do not need to edit a file manually to prove it. The plan should cite the message, state the effective scope and schedule stale documentation updates during implementation. A generic “continue” still does not approve an unspecified stack migration.
-
-On OpenCode 2.2.5, the plugin reads original messages in active context. It does not mistake compaction summaries for user approval. Previously captured originals missing from the active window remain labelled historical evidence, because compaction and reversion cannot be distinguished through that API. They cannot authorize new reserved actions. Hosts exposing the projected-message listing API are read page by page. An unavailable decision may require a focused clarification; it is not a reason to reset the task or ask for manual source edits.
-
-Visible assistant proposals are included only as context for replies. Synthetic messages, tool results and attachment bodies are not promoted to user instructions. Common credential formats are redacted before forwarding; this screening is best-effort, so keep credentials out of chat. Provider access remains the configured reviewers' access. User-role provenance is supplied by the OpenCode host, not cryptographic proof of human authorship.
