  *
- * Folds the two `--emit-context` halves of the 12-phase pipeline
- * (`buildAuthoringContext` from `epic-plan-spec/phases/authoring-context.js`
- * and `buildDecompositionContext` from
- * `epic-plan-decompose/phases/context.js`) plus the three currently-no-CLI
- * library calls (`findSimilarOpenEpics`, clarity scoring, re-plan
- * detection) into ONE JSON envelope, so the authoring middle reads a single
- * file instead of shim-scripting library imports (the bench measured
- * ~12–15 turns of shim-writing for the dup search alone).
+ * Folds the authoring-context builders plus the cross-Story dup search into
+ * ONE JSON envelope, so the authoring middle reads a single file instead of
+ * shim-scripting library imports.
  *
- * Three modes (the design's mode matrix + the #4496 seed entry):
- *   - `epic`      — the Epic exists. Carries `epic`, `clarity` (the Epic
- *                   Clarity Gate rubric — free, same body fetch), `replan`
- *                   (already-planned signals) and `planState`.
- *   - `one-pager` — ideation; the Epic does not exist yet (creation moves
- *                   to the persist half). Carries `onePager` and
- *                   `duplicates[]` (cross-Epic dup search). Clarity is not
- *                   scored — the ideation path is definitionally clear.
- *   - `seed`      — headless ideation entry (#4496 fix 1): the one-pager
- *                   does not exist yet either. The dup search runs off the
- *                   raw seed text, and the envelope additively carries
- *                   `seed`, `scopeTriage` (the scope-triage rubric applied

- *                   `onePagerSpec` (the canonical one-pager sections, so
- *                   the authoring pass writes the one-pager in the SAME
