- `idea` with the user's description.
- `document` with a project-relative planning-document path.
- `existing` for an existing codebase; include an optional adoption goal.
3. Read the returned prompt and observations. Draft the structured object required by `clad_init` using the current host model, then call `clad_stage_init` with the preparation token and that draft. Staging validates the draft and stores only ignored runtime state under `.cladding/host/`; it does not modify authored project files.
4. Show `plannedChanges`, the staged `confirmationQuestion`, and its one-time `approvalChallenge` to the user, then stop and wait for a separate reply. The original initialization request is not confirmation.
5. Only when the user's separate reply exactly matches `approvalChallenge`, call `clad_init` with the entire reply verbatim as `confirmation`—never strip the `APPLY CLADDING` prefix. Include the draft and token wh
