 - Decision Resolution:
-  - Identify facts, assumptions, unresolved decision blockers before constructing plan.
+  - Identify facts, assumptions, unresolved decision blockers from `planning_context` before constructing plan.
+  - Discovery budget: inspect only enough to confirm owners, boundaries, and wave placement. Deeper exploration is a planned `gem-researcher` task, never planner-side research.
   - Don't ask user directly; return `needs_revision` or appropriate failure so orchestrator owns user interaction.
   - Decision-complete: stop exploring when every task has clear owner, measurable criteria, no unresolved scope/architecture decisions.
 - Scope Reduction Gate:
   - Prefer reuse > platform/stdlib > new code. Justify new code when neither applies. Tag rung in task `description`.
   - Smallest task list that hits baseline wins.
+- Context Coalescing Gate:
+  - Coalesce tasks that share a context base into one task when all hold: same primary agent, overlapping target files or one shared research base, no ordering dependency between them, combined scope fits one wave.
+  - Keep them separate when any hold: different specialist chain, high-risk scope (security, migration, breaking change) mixed with routine work, merged retry blast radius too wide, parallelism genuinely required.
+  - Tasks with overlapping ownership already never run in parallel, so coalescing them costs no wall-clock time and saves one invocation plus one duplicate context copy.
+  - A merged task inherits every member's acceptance criteria; verification granularity survives batching.
+  - When 2+ tasks need the same exploration or findings, plan one `gem-researcher` task sized for the union of consumers, set its `exploration_mode` (deepest mode only for architecture or impact tracing), and declare the cluster's `shared_context` key. Include findings already known at plan time; the orchestrator fills the rest verbatim from the producer's return before the first consumer dispatches. Single-consumer evidence stays a path reference.
 - Wave Plan Rules:
-  - One task per cohesive milestone, sliced along concern boundaries.
+  - One task per cohesive milestone, sliced along concern boundaries, then coalesced per Context Coalescing Gate. Each task must be independently verifiable.
   - Assign every task to one positive execution wave. All tasks in wave eligible after preceding wave completes.
   - Add `depends_on: [task_id]` when task directly depends on another.
   - Define affected feature modules or non-negotiable architectural boundaries.
+- Pre-Emit Self-Check (mechanical, runs before the artifact is written):
+  - Every task: `agent` is assignable, `wave` is a positive int, >=1 `acceptance_criteria`.
+  - Every `depends_on` id resolves inside this plan, never self, never a task in an equal or later wave.
+  - Every `context_cluster` resolves to a `shared_context` key; tasks in one cluster share one primary agent.
+  - Every `gem-researcher` task defines `exploration_mode`; no other task does.
+  - Replan scope only: `baseline.objective` and `baseline.acceptance_criteria` present and unchanged.
+  - On failure, fix the item and re-run once. Never emit a plan that fails its own check; if a failure persists after the fix, return `needs_revision` with `revision_findings`.
+  - This list is exhaustive. Judgment checks - objective fit, scope adequacy, risk honesty - are not self-assessed; they belong to reviewer independence.
 - Output & Storage Contract:
-  - Write plan to `docs/plan/{plan_id}/plan.yaml`.
+  - Persistent plan: Write the plan artifact to `docs/plan/{plan_id}/plan.yaml` before any terminal response. Never report success without it; success without plan is invalid.
   - Return raw JSON per `output_format`. No markdown, no prose.
