//! The headless design-deliberation stage between `magi plan`'s interview and
//! the task file it files.
//!
//! [`crate::graph`]'s judge / vote / deliberate machinery only runs when more
//! than one candidate survives - and `[graph] candidates` defaults to 1 now
//! (see [`crate::config::Graph::candidates`]'s doc for the cost numbers
//! behind that default), so on an ordinary task none of that machinery ever
//! fires any more. Diversity did not stop paying for itself; it moved. A
//! design sketch is a few paragraphs an agent can write without touching the
//! repository, where a full implementation is a hundred-plus-turn tool loop
//! that re-reads the codebase on every turn - so three sketches, gathered
//! once between the interview and the file, cost a fraction of a third
//! implementation and buy back the same disagreement the judges used to
//! surface, on every task rather than only the ones run with `--candidates`.
//!
//! Three independent, read-only advisors ([`gather`]) each propose one
//! design. The planner seat (`[roles] planner`) then reads all three and
//! [`prompt::synthesize`]s them into the task file's `## Context` and
//! `## Change`, naming which advisor's idea it kept where - it is told, in so
//! many words, not to pick a winner. Nothing here talks to the operator: the
//! interview already did that, and turning this stage into three more
//! conversations would be exactly the cost this module exists to avoid.
//!
//! # Disposability narrows the blast radius, it does not forbid writing
//!
//! `allow_write: false` alone is not a guarantee: opencode has no read-only
//! mode at all, and Claude's `--disallowed-tools` stops its edit tools but not
//! a `rm` or a redirect run through its Bash tool. That is the existing,
//! accepted risk model for every read-only seat in this codebase - judge and
//! reviewer seats in [`crate::graph`] carry exactly the same weak guarantee,
//! and get away with it because their `cwd` is already a worktree the run
//! treats as disposable. This stage runs before any run exists, so it was
//! pointed at the operator's own checkout until [`checkout_worktrees`] gave
//! every advisor seat, and the planner's synthesis, a `git worktree add
//! --detach` checkout at `HEAD` of their own, thrown away when [`run`]
//! returns - the same protection judges and reviewers already had, closing
//! the one gap unique to this stage rather than inventing a stronger
//! guarantee nothing else here provides.
//!
//! What this buys: a relative-path write from a seat that ignores its
//! instructions lands in that seat's own disposable checkout, not in the
//! operator's repository and not in another seat's. What it does not buy: an
//! absolute-path write, or an edit to the shared `.git` metadata a linked
//! worktree does not copy (its own config extension aside), can still reach
//! outside the checkout - the same as it always could for a judge or a
//! reviewer. Closing that would mean sandboxing the process itself (a
//! container, a chroot, an OS-level read-only mount), which no seat of any
//! kind in this codebase has today; adding one is a different, much larger
//! change than a design-deliberation stage, not something this module can
//! give an advisor seat on its own.
//!
//! # The draft survives every failure short of success
//!
//! [`run`] never writes to `draft` until it holds a complete, synthesized
//! replacement. Every early return - an advisor roster that produced nothing
//! usable, a planner seat that crashed or answered with no fenced `task`
//! block - leaves the interview's own draft exactly as the leader wrote it,
//! and the error names its path, the same contract [`crate::plan::vet`]
//! keeps for a validation failure. The raw advisor records are written to
//! disk unconditionally, before that check even runs, so a total failure
//! still leaves something for the operator to read.
