-- All files from the planner's design are created/modified
-- Code follows existing patterns (compare with sibling workflows)
-- Meta types are simple routing signals (single boolean per role)
-- No dynamic import()
+### ✅ Approve (approved: true) — no comment needed
+If everything looks clean, just approve. Do not add suggestions or warnings — they won't be seen.
