+If the query carries the leading `no-interview` prefix, skip the plan review
+turn entirely: finalize the 2-5 aspects, track them with the harness's todo
+mechanism if available (TodoWrite or equivalent), and proceed immediately to
+Step 3 and Step 4.
+
+**Plan review (interview mode - default):**
+When running in interview mode (without `no-interview`), present your proposed
+research area plan to the user before launching workers:
+
+1. Formulate and present:
+   - A structured list of the 2-5 research aspects (or top 2 under
+     `light-research`), each with an aspect title, 1-2 sentence focus summary,
+     and primary tools/evidence sources (e.g. PubMed/articles,
+     ClinicalTrials.gov, genes, drugs, patents).
+   - An explicit prompt inviting user feedback and adjustments on these
+     research areas.
+2. End your turn with the plan proposal (using the harness's question/ask tool
+   when available, or chat text) and WAIT for the user's reply. Do not spawn
+   workers or create output directories before receiving user feedback.
+3. User feedback handling:
+   - **Case A (approval / "looks good" / "proceed"):** Proceed directly to
+     Step 3 and Step 4.
+   - **Case B (default feedback - modifications without re-review request):**
+     Incorporate the user's requested adjustments, additions, drops, or scope
+     changes into the research aspects immediately (strictly adhering to the
+     2-5 aspect ceiling, or top 2 under `light-research`). Then **PROCEED
+     DIRECTLY to Step 3 and Step 4. Do NOT ask for another round of
+     confirmation.**
+   - **Case C (special case - explicit re-confirmation requested):** ONLY if the
+     user explicitly asks to review or confirm the revised plan (e.g. "show me
+     the updated plan before starting" or "revise the plan and ask me again"),
+     present the updated plan in a new turn and wait for confirmation before
+     dispatching subagents (limit plan re-confirmations to at most 2 rounds).
+   - **User inquiries during review:** If the user asks a clarifying question
+     (e.g. "can we include pediatric trials?"), answer succinctly in 1-2
+     sentences, incorporate the suggested scope into the relevant aspect, and
+     proceed directly to Step 3 and Step 4 unless explicit re-confirmation was
+     demanded.
+
+**Degrade to defaults on OBSERVATION:**
+Like Step 1, degrade only after the plan was posted and the session
+demonstrably produced no usable reply in-turn (e.g. an ask tool returning
+immediately empty in unattended/headless runs): proceed under the initial
+proposed plan, record the default plan in `reports/<TOPIC>/assumptions.md`,
+and cite that file in the report's Limitations section.
