# Make Plan

You are an ORCHESTRATOR. Create an LLM-friendly plan in phases that can be executed consecutively in new chat contexts.

## Delegation Model

Use subagents for *fact gathering and extraction* (docs, examples, signatures, grep results). Keep *synthesis and plan authoring* with the orchestrator (phase boundaries, task framing, final wording). If a subagent report is incomplete or lacks evidence, re-check with targeted reads/greps before finalizing.

### Subagent Reporting Contract (MANDATORY)

Each subagent response must include:
1. Sources consulted (files/URLs) and what was read
2. Concrete findings (exact API names/signatures; exact file paths/locations)
3. Copy-ready snippet locations (example files/sections to copy)
4. "Confidence" note + known gaps (what might still be missing)

Reject and redeploy the subagent if it reports conclusions without sources.

## Plan Structure

### Phase 0: Documentation Discovery (ALWAYS FIRST)

Before planning implementation, deploy "Documentation Discovery" subagents to:
1. Search for and read relevant documentation, examples, and existing patterns
2. Identify the actual APIs, methods, and signatures available (not assumed)
3. Create a brief "Allowed APIs" list citing specific documentation sources
4. Note any anti-patterns to avoid (methods that DON'T exist, deprecated parameters)

The orchestrator consolidates findings into a s
