ralplan

Ralplan (Consensus Planning Alias)

Ralplan is the canonical consensus-planning stage used by Autopilot between $deep-interview and $ultragoal. It drives Planner, Architect, and Critic planning and records their review lifecycle with RALPLAN-DR structured deliberation (short mode by default, deliberate mode for high-risk work). Local lifecycle evidence is not host-issued security authority, but ordinary progression to Ultragoal must remain reachable after the execution-ready plan and sequential review evidence are durable; missing host provenance must not terminalize Ralplan or block cancel, clear, or recovery.

Usage

$ralplan "task description"

Standalone advisory planning is explicitly opt-in:

$ralplan --advisory "task description"

Advisory runs the same sequential Planner → Architect → Critic review lifecycle, binds the plan and both review artifacts to exact bytes and one tracker-backed iteration, then returns to the caller with active:false. It is a cooperative workflow pause, not a security fence or permission system. It never emits a PreToolUse allow/block decision, never completes the host consensus gate, never authorizes execution, and never suppresses unrelated host behavior. Terminal state must carry explicit false values for the consensus gate, host verification, and execution handoff rather than omitting them. A later concrete affirmative execution request may produce non-authoritative routing context, but it does not persist a permission, rewrite terminal evidence, or create an automatic handoff; quotations, code, examples, documentation, questions, modal requests, negations, and vague approval remain classifier negatives. approved+proven requires complete lifecycle digests plus post-write revalidation. Administrative abandonment is append-only, idempotent for prepared or committed journals, and records a separate byte-bound admin event without rewriting the original closeout journal. Real enforcement requires an explicit host-issued, host-verified receipt or capability on a non-user-mintable surface; local Advisory files, prompts, session/thread fields, tracker records, and HERDR observability cannot substitute for it. On Darwin, each Advisory evidence artifact is limited to 128 KiB by the pinned-directory reader; other supported platforms allow up to 8 MiB.
