Plan the Iteration

Objective

Invoke Plan the Iteration (PIN) for the approved goal and produce an accepted, executable delivery manifest.

Procedure

1. Pass PIN the Iteration Frame, Charter, relevant architecture/process context, open gating tickets, and accepted IIPs.
2. Follow PIN's own activity order and planning rules. Enter enforced ADE planning mode when available.
3. Fan out bounded investigation only where PIN permits and only when workers have distinct outputs or read-only scopes.
4. Converge estimates, dependencies, codebase footprints, checkpoints, parallel groups, and human gates into one manifest/milestone.
5. Obtain the PIN approval required before execution.

Failure handling

Do not invoke MIN with a speculative, internally inconsistent, or unapproved plan. If planning reveals that the goal does not fit, return to Set the Iteration Goal and narrow it.

Completion evidence

The accepted PIN output names every scenario/work item, dependency, codebase footprint, checkpoint command, time budget, parallel group, and approval gate. Its goal and iteration ID match the Iteration Frame.
