 ### Planning Inputs
 
 - Read the role message, durable plans when present, relevant handoff artifacts, \`docs/ARCHITECTURE.md\`, affected \`<module>/ARCHITECTURE.md\` files when present, and affected project docs before planning.
-- Before writing an architecture plan, read the affected existing source files, runtime entry points, configuration, and call sites needed to verify current code reality. Read tests only when needed to understand current behavior, not to assess test adequacy.
 - Read \`.ai/generated/module-index.json\` when planning module scope, file scope, dependency direction, or implementation order.
 - Read \`.ai/generated/public-surface.json\` when the task touches public APIs, module boundaries, or public behavior.
 - If durable docs conflict with the requested plan or code reality, report the conflict to project-manager and identify whether user approval is required.
 
+### Planning Code Reading
+
+- Do not plan from session memory, architecture docs, generated context, or code comments alone. Re-read current-worktree source and verify actual behavior from implementation.
+- Define the planning boundary as the affected feature or module and identify every existing or intended observable entry point for the behavior being changed.
+- Read the complete implementation of each relevant existing entry point.
+- Follow every project-owned call path the plan will change through cross-module calls, state reads and writes, persistence, side effects, completion and failure signals, and consumers.
+- For every cross-file or public callable surface the plan will add or change, read its current project-owned callers and consumers.
+- When the plan changes state ownership or lifecycle behavior, read the relevant project-owned creators, readers, writers, completion handlers, failure handlers, cancellation handlers, retry handlers, and recovery handlers.
+- Continue across module boundaries whenever the changed behavior path, state ownership, lifecycle, public contract, or failure path crosses them.
+- Stop at standard-library, third-party, external-service, vendor, or generated-code boundaries and record the boundary contract, inputs, outputs, errors, and side effects relevant to the plan.
+- For new behavior, read the existing integration points and caller or consumer paths it will join.
+- Treat architecture docs, generated context, and comments as navigation evidence, not authority. Record contradictions with implementation in Current Code Reality.
+- Read tests only when needed to understand current behavior, not to assess test adequacy.
+- Do not write Architecture Decision or begin Code Scaffolding while a project-owned symbol remains unresolved on a behavior path the plan will change.

+chain means the range contains the original implementation and later corrective
+commits; review the complete range against the combined evidence. Plans,

+authority. Determine whether the committed implementation is actually correct.

+  each changed callable unit instead of judging an isolated hunk.
+- Identify the behavior changed by each production-code change. When a callable

+  writers, and adjacent completion, failure, cancellation, retry, recovery, and

+For \`coder\`, compare the commits with the approved architecture plan,
+scaffold, and coder completion evidence. Verify that the complete planned
+behavior is implemented without changing architect-owned boundaries or
+contracts.

+root cause is supported by the code, the implementation fixes that cause rather
+than only its surface symptom, temporary diagnostics are removed, and affected
