Session plan

Six steps. Step 4 is not optional and step 6 is where you stop.

1. Read. Do not edit.

PLAN.md is the contract. STATUS.md was retired — it does not exist, do not look for it. For why an item exists: DECISIONS.md. For what shipped and why: CHANGELOG.md. For what was measured recently: the last few JOURNAL.md entries.

Delegate the reading. delegate_readonly with those documents in files[], one question per call — a call with no files[] is the dearest shape, not the cheapest. Do not read them in the main conversation to answer what a delegation could answer. If delegate_readonly is not available, use the Explore agent.

2. Rank

🔄 outranks everything: finish before starting. Then rank the ⬜ items under Open by blocking impact ÷ effort. ✅, ❌ and Deferred are out of scope for the ranking.

• An item resting on a claim nobody has measured is a spike, not an item. Rank the spike first, and say what would be run to settle it.
• Check the milestone exit condition the items sit under. An item that does not move that condition is not this session's work, however cheap it looks.
• The exit condition orders the session; it does not size it. Ranking stops when the items run out, not when the first one is picked. A plan holding one item is right only if that item is genuinely a session's worth — say how long you think it is, and if the answer is "half a session", keep ranking.

3. Propose ONE plan

One plan, not a menu. Per item, name:

• the branch (feat/, fix/, docs/) and the commits it splits into;
• the test, and how that test fails without the fix. A check that cannot fail is worse than no check. Say what the negative control is before writing either;
• the owning document — python scripts/docs_gate.py --owner <path>, never from memory;
• the CHANGELOG entry's why: symptom, cause, fix;
• that it is a whole item. If what you are proposing is a fragment of a PLAN entry — a precondition you measured out of it, a first half — say so, and plan the rest of the entry too.
