+# Lane E: planning contract audit
+
+E1 baseline: `5eec4b5f56979033ca0e406d9216db5f71c55acd` (main, 2026-09-24).
+Owner and subsequent assignments: issue #29. This is evidence for E1, not completion of T18.
+
+## Existing contracts and issue #6 reconciliation
+
+| Requirement | Existing implementation and runnable evidence | Disposition |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Registry-selected immutable schema and semantic dispatch; identical CLI copies | `core/plan.ts`, `schema/versions.json`; `test/registry.test.ts` | Reuse; no schema edit needed |
+| Deterministic bounded JSON/YAML, decoded duplicate keys, prohibited YAML features, safe integers, UTF-8 and depth limits | `core/parse-v1.ts`; `test/plan-v1.test.ts` frozen fixtures | Reuse |
+| Selected issue, canonical leaf paths, checkout case/Unicode identity, projected dependencies, base entry types and retained link lineage | `validatePlan`; `test/plan.test.ts`, `test/plan-v1.test.ts` | Reuse; runtime link-write auditing still belongs to D/F |
+| Exact complete command argv; appended flags cannot inherit approval | `commandArgv`/`commandAllowed`; frozen v1 tests | Reuse; execution enforcement belongs to D/F |
+| `update_file` requires the same existing path; payload and resulting-plan validation | `applySuggestion`; `test/plan.test.ts` | Reuse |
+| Stable repository/task/plan binding, revision CAS, replay/sibling invalidation | `runner/store.ts` request records and transactional Apply; `test/store.test.ts` | Reuse the store as the only writer |
+| Writer boundary and runtime availability (B0 subset consumed by E) | Core plan transforms are pure; ReviewStore owns SQLite transactions; store tests cover reopen, crash recovery, independent-process competing Apply and Node compatibility | Existing interface is sufficient for injected E orchestration |
+
+Baseline command:
+
+```sh
+npx vitest run test/plan.test.ts test/plan-v1.test.ts test/registry.test.ts test/store.test.ts
+npm run typecheck
+```
+
+Observed: 4 test files, 109 tests passed; typecheck passed on Node 26.7.0.
+The PR body records the final validated head separately from this baseline.
+
+## Remaining ordered work
+
+1. **E2:** Implement a pure prompt builder and a read-only injected authoring-provider
+   contract. The current template documents escaping, limits and read-only permissions,
+   but no module renders it or validates a provider's extracted plan/edit response.
+   Preserve all untrusted fields as escaped JSON data, reject oversized/NUL input,
+   select immutable schemas internally, and validate replies before publication.
+2. **E3:** Coordinate suggestion requests through the existing store methods. Capture
+   identity, revision and request ID before invocation; reject stale completion and
+   retain invocation ownership until settlement. Apply stays in ReviewStore. Failure,
+   cancellation and shutdown need explicit lifecycle rules and controlled race tests.
+3. **E4:** Exercise imports, malformed provider output, hostile prompt data, delayed
+   responses and replay end to end through the E interface and real SQLite authority.
+   Synthetic provider fixtures must be labeled as such. Real recorded Claude/Codex
+   output and OS/container enforcement cannot be claimed from fake-provider tests.
+
+## Ownership and integration boundaries
+
+PR #23 owns shared review/UI integration and does not edit E's dedicated modules,
+prompt template or planning tests. E must not change schema snapshots or the store.
+Issue #6's library/storage gaps above have existing coverage; do not rebuild them.
+Keep #6 open for its remaining runtime/integration obligations rather than equating
+this audit with full acceptance. New shared gaps must be assigned to the integration
+owner before dependent work proceeds.
+
+G consumes E after its PRs land. G's production path requires D5's isolated invocation
+and F1's planning API/persistence integration. Missing D5 does not prevent E2/E3
+injected-provider work. D owns stdin closure, launch/token budgets, bounded vendor
+envelopes and immutable phase profiles; E handles the extracted document, not a CLI
+envelope. Runtime symlink snapshots, tool denial and command execution stay in D/F.
+No UI, live provider, Docker or product-performance claim is established by E1.

+# E2 authoring boundary
+
+`core/planning-author.ts` prepares draft or suggestion requests without invoking a
+process or writing a plan. Callers supply trusted PlanContext, request ID and target
+revision. Text remains untrusted, even approved lessons and feedback. One template
+pass inserts escaped JSON after resolving conditionals. Inputs and final prompts
+are bounded to 32 KiB; source is never truncated. Provider output is an extracted
+JSON document subject to the retained parser's 1 MiB/depth/UTF-8 limits.
+
+Draft replies must match the selected issue and requested revision. Suggestions
+must match the captured base revision, and every independent card must produce a
+valid plan against the original captured context. A single bad card rejects the
+whole response. Warnings are returned for display; validation is not plan approval
+and never grants command execution. The request and its identity are frozen;
+private validation context and prior plan are snapshots of caller-owned data.
+The trusted `pathKey` function must remain stable for that checkout snapshot.
+
+The injected provider receives only read-only planning metadata, prompt/schema
+strings and AbortSignal. It resolves or rejects only after the underlying invocation
+and descendants terminate. Metadata is a contract, not a sandbox: production use
+requires D5's immutable profile, read/list/search-only tools, disabled web/MCP,
+closed stdin, isolated clone, vendor egress, launch/token budgets, bounded vendor
+envelopes and safe output extraction. This module does not implement a live adapter.
+
+E3 owns request coordination through the existing store interface. Only ReviewStore
+may publish suggestions or apply a card with its identity/revision transaction.
+G/F integrate API, UI draft preservation and persistence; no second writer is added.
+
+Checks: `npx vitest run test/planning-author.test.ts` and `npm run typecheck`.
+Fixtures in this suite are synthetic contract data, not recorded vendor output.

+# E3 suggestion lifecycle
+
+The coordinator is a single in-process owner per runner/store. Construct one instance,
+not one per HTTP request. The existing `Store` remains the only durable writer and
+the only Apply authority. The coordinator does not allocate plan revisions or trust
+provider-supplied identity. It captures the identity, revision, immutable base snapshot
+and store-generated request ID before invocation. Input containers are copied.
+
+| Holder | States and legal transitions | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Coordinator | open → closing; closing rejects new starts synchronously | Runner-owned coordinator |
+| Invocation | pending → running → completed/failed/cancelled/stale; pending may cancel before launch | Coordinator until provider settles |
+| Cancellation | first reason retained; request abort while invocation remains tracked; terminal cancelled/failed only after provider settlement | Coordinator and D adapter |
+| Durable request | pending → ready; pending/ready → cancelled or invalidated; ready → consumed on Apply | Existing Store transactions |
+| Durable plan | revision advances only through Store import/Apply; advancing invalidates sibling/pending requests | Store |
+| Subprocess/container | abort requested → terminating → terminated; promise settles after final termination | D adapter |
+| HTTP and UI | not created by E; F rejects admission/drains admitted requests before coordinator close, then closes Store; G preserves drafts and ignores stale responses | F/G |
+
+The existing request table has no failed/stale reason fields. Failed or aborted E
+invocations cancel the durable request to make Apply unavailable; the returned
+outcome retains the precise reason and distinguishes failed/cancelled/stale.
+Revision changes already invalidate durable requests. Snapshot-only changes cancel
+them at settlement. F owns any future durable failure-reason or snapshot-binding
+schema additions. Completed historical provider results are not silently rewritten.
+
+There is one active invocation per plan identity. A new start (including a retry)
+cannot replace it, regardless of elapsed time, cancellation, or persisted state.
+No lease or wall-clock heuristic releases ownership. Timeouts request abort but
+do not settle early. First timeout/cancellation/shutdown reason wins over a later
+generic provider abort. Different plan identities remain distinct; the production
+runner must additionally enforce its global task limit.
+
+Before publication, compare the current plan revision and snapshot with the captured
+ones, validate every card via E2, then call Store.completeSuggestions, whose CAS
+also checks the request is still pending. JavaScript has no await between these
+checks and publication; the injected Store must implement transactional request CAS.
+Store's current contract binds request identity/revision, not cross-process snapshot
+CAS. Production F integration must supply that stronger boundary if another process
+can change snapshots concurrently. E is not a multi-process scheduler.
+
+`close()` flips admission to closing before aborting invocations and waits for all
+providers to settle. It does not close storage. There is no HTTP server, polling,
+browser input, retry endpoint or subprocess implementation in this lane.
+
+Checks use controllable promises and timers with real SQLite to assert both returned
+outcomes and durable state. Required cases include import before late completion,
+snapshot change, external cancellation, timeout followed by an unsettled provider,
+retry while cancellation is pending, shutdown admission, and post-submit mutation
+of caller-owned input. Apply/replay/independent-process serialization remain Store's
+existing acceptance boundary; E4 adds integrated fixtures.
