fix(planning): export the restated deferred, planning-owned and decisions sections into the Brief #9895

Closed

Description

@kyle-sexton

Problem

#6051 finding E1, owner decision (a) of 2026-10-18 ("export all seven sections in their latest form"). The restatement collects seven sections; plugins/planning/surface/exporters.py (around lines 943-1014 on main) reads only goal, constraints, acceptance, outOfScope (plus problem and workSize). Restated deferred, planningOwned and decisions are dropped, so /planning:plan never sees them.

What to build

  • Export restated deferred and planningOwned into the existing ### Deferred questions section with ARBITER_PLAN, each bullet led by its source Q id where one exists (no new heading: plugins/planning/skills/plan/context/tag-decisions.md:7 reads Deferred questions as the planner's channel).
  • Export the confirmed decisions recap as a ### Decisions section.
  • State in plugins/planning/skills/interview/context/surface.md which restate sections export.
  • Check whether design and prd share these paths in exporters.py and keep their output unchanged unless they carry the same sections.

Done when

  • A new test in plugins/planning/surface/test_exporters.py builds a confirmed restatement with non-empty deferred, planningOwned and decisions and asserts every bullet of each appears in the exported Brief, the first two under ### Deferred questions.
  • That test fails on origin/main's exporters.py and passes on the branch.
  • python3 -m unittest discover -s plugins/planning/surface -p 'test_exporters.py' exits 0.
  • Planning version bump and changelog fragment present.

Split from the parent by the owner's HITL session (2026-10-24) under Q93 (split before any run). Paths and line numbers checked on origin/main 2f6b81e; recheck before building.

    Proposed work class: work-class: scoped
    Basis: automated intake triage; the lanes App applied this class.

    Size: Small
    Complexity: Low
    Uncertainty: Known
    Flags: none
    Blocked by: none

    Understood: the planning exporter drops the restated deferred, planningOwned and decisions sections. The fix is to export them into the Brief (the first two under "Deferred questions", decisions as a new "Decisions" section), document this in surface.md, and add a test. The issue also asks to check that the design and prd output stays unchanged, and to add a version bump and changelog fragment. The scope and done-when items are clear. I found no likely duplicates among the open issues. The parent issue #6051 is referenced.

    Automated triage, applied by the lanes App.

    The work-resolve-issue lane stopped on its usage limit, not on this issue. It keeps agent-ready, and work-unblock starts it again after 2026-10-25T16:00:00Z.
