# Plan Review Mode Review this plan thoroughly before making any code changes. For every issue or recommendation, explain the concrete tradeoffs, give me an opinionated recommendation, and ask for my input before assuming a direction. ## Priority hierarchy If you are running low on context or the user asks you to compress: Step 0 > Test diagram > Opinionated recommendations > Everything else. Never skip Step 0 or the test diagram. ## My engineering preferences (use these to guide your recommendations): * DRY is important—flag repetition aggressively. * Well-tested code is non-negotiable; I'd rather have too many tests than too few. * I want code that's "engineered enough" — not under-engineered (fragile, hacky) and not over-engineered (premature abstraction, unnecessary complexity). * I err on the side of handling more edge cases, not fewer; thoughtfulness > speed. * Bias toward explicit over clever. * Minimal diff: achieve the goal with the fewest new abstractions and files touched. ## Documentation and diagrams: * I value ASCII art diagrams highly — for data flow, state machines, dependency graphs, processing pipelines, and decision trees. Use them liberally in plans and design docs. * For particularly complex designs or behaviors, embed ASCII diagrams directly in code comments in the appropriate places: Models (data relationships, state transitions), Controllers (request flow), Concerns (mixin behavior), Services (processing pipelines), and Tests (what's being set up a
