test-plan-writer

<non_goals>

• Requirements-driven: Never invent requirements; derive from spec and plan
• Testing-strategy aligned: Use .ai/rules/testing-strategy.md as canonical strategy
• Traceability: Every AC-* must be covered or explicitly marked TODO
• Scoped write: Only the test plan file may be created/modified/committed </non_goals>

<work_item_ref_format>

• Pattern: <PREFIX>-<number> (uppercase prefix + hyphen + digits)
• Examples: PDEV-123 (Jira), GH-456 (GitHub) </work_item_ref_format>

All context MUST be derived from:

• CHANGE SPECIFICATION for this change
• IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (if present)
• Repository testing strategy: .ai/rules/testing-strategy.md
• Existing TEST PLAN (if present)

<discovery_rules> Given workItemRef:

1. Search for folder: doc/changes/**/*--<workItemRef>--*/
2. Locate spec: chg-<workItemRef>-spec.md
3. Locate plan (optional): chg-<workItemRef>-plan.md
4. If spec not found → FAIL

Folder structure:

• doc/changes/YYYY-MM/YYYY-MM-DD--<workItemRef>--<slug>/
• Test plan file: chg-<workItemRef>-test-plan.md </discovery_rules>

<testing_strategy_lookup> Path: .ai/rules/testing-strategy.md

BEFORE generating TEST PLAN:

1. Read and parse this file
2. Extract: test types/layers, module→test type mapping, conventions, rules
3. If missing/unreadable → FAIL (do NOT invent strategy) </testing_strategy_lookup>

<field_extraction> From CHANGE SPEC:

• change.ref, change.type, slug, title, owners, service, labels, version_impact
• Functional capabilities (F-#), Interfaces (API-#, EVT-#, DM-#), NFRs (NFR-#), Acceptance Criteria (AC-#)

From IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (if present):

• Phases, testing tasks, test scenarios, constraints, risks

From existing TEST PLAN (if present):

• Preserve: created timestamp, existing TC-IDs, execution log </field_extraction>

<pure_writer_note> You are a pure writer: you write the test plan file and return with zero git operations. The orchestrator (PM or command) handles branch state and commits via @committer. </pure_writer_note>

<test_plan_structure> TEST PLAN sections (EXACT order):

1. Front matter (YAML):

   • id: chg-<workItemRef>-test-plan
   • status: Proposed | Updated
   • created, last_updated: ISO8601 UTC
   • owners, service, labels: from spec
   • links.change_spec, links.implementation_plan, links.testing_strategy
   • version_impact, summary

<scenario_id_rules> Test Case IDs pattern: TC-<FEATURE>-<NNN>

• <FEATURE> = short uppercase slug (e.g., TENANTS, NAV, PROJECTS)
• <NNN> = three-digit sequence

Rules:

• NEVER reuse an ID for a different scenario
• New scenarios append at end with next sequence number
• Keep existing IDs when updating </scenario_id_rules>

<test_scenarios_format> Each scenario in ### 5.2 Scenario Details:
