5. Create a plan at .ai/projects/cascadeguard/plans/{{ .issue.identifier | lower }}.md with:
   • Summary: What and why (one paragraph)
   • Approach: Numbered steps with file paths
   • Layers: Delivery layers affected
   • Risks: What could go wrong
   • Open questions: Anything needing clarification
6. Keep the plan concise. One page maximum.
7. Add the planned label: gh issue edit {{ .issue.identifier }} --add-label planned --repo cascadeguard/cascadeguard

Do not implement the feature. Only create the plan. {{ if .run.is_continuation }}
