fix: review the saved plan before execution

Present the saved, self-reviewed plan for human review before implementation.
Request an execution method when none was supplied; preserve an existing
choice and ask only for plan review when the human already chose a method.

This completes the shared-intent repair without interpreting approval of an
earlier idea or scope as approval of an unseen implementation plan. Four
saved-plan smoke cases covered old/new wording with/without a prior choice;
all passed the narrower handoff checks, including old controls, so this is
not evidence of measured improvement.

Jesse requested consolidation into two commits and removal of the supporting
spec/plan research content from the PR. The skill bytes remain identical to
the reviewed branch; the complete research and original history are retained
in local archives.

+
+## Reporting an Issue
+
+Tensions can occur between community members even when they are trying their best to collaborate. Not every conflict represents a code of conduct violation, and this Code of Conduct reinforces encouraged behaviors and norms that can help avoid conflicts and minimize harm. You are welcome to report concerns, even if they seem minor, as they can be helpful in identifying patterns of behavior that may not be concerning in isolation, but when viewed collectively may be more significant.
+
+When an incident does occur, it is important to report it promptly. To report a possible violation anywhere in the community, email [conduct@primeradiant.com](mailto:conduct@primeradiant.com). On the Prime Radiant Discord server, you can mention `@moderators` in a public channel, or report via a support ticket, created through the `#support-ticket` channel. In the event that you need to report a member of the Prime Radiant team, you can contact Kattni at [kattni@primeradiant.com](mailto:kattni@primeradiant.com) or Drew at [drew@primeradiant.com](mailto:drew@primeradiant.com).
+
+Community Moderators take reports of violations seriously and will make every effort to respond in a timely manner. They will investigate all reports of code of conduct violations, reviewing messages, logs, and recordings, or interviewing witnesses and other participants. Community Moderators will keep investigation and enforcement actions as transparent as possible while prioritizing safety and confidentiality. In order to honor these values, enforcement actions are carried out in private with the involved parties, but communicating to the whole community may be part of a mutually agreed upon resolution. If moderators determine that a public statement needs to be made, the identities of all victims and reporters will remain confidential unless those individuals instruct otherwise.
+
+In your report, please include:
+
+- **Your contact info** so the team can get in touch with you if they need to follow up.
+- **Names (real, nicknames, or pseudonyms) of any individuals involved.** If there were other witnesses besides you, please try to include them as well.
+- **When and where the incident occurred.** Please be as specific as possible.
+- **Your account of what occurred.** If there is a publicly available record (e.g. a Discord or GitHub message) please include a link.
+- **Any extra context** you believe existed for the incident.
+- **If you believe this incident is ongoing.**
+- **If you believe any member of the team has a conflict of interest** in adjudicating the incident.
+- **What, if any, corrective response** you believe would be appropriate.
+- **Any other information** you believe the team should have.
+
+Moderators are obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter and details of an incident.
+
+## Report Followup
+
+You will receive a response acknowledging receipt of your report within 24 business hours.
+
+If a member of the team is one of the named parties, they will not be included in any discussions, and will not be provided with any confidential details from the reporter.
+
+If anyone on the moderation team believes they have a conflict of interest in adjudicating on a reported issue, they will inform the other team members, and recuse themselves from any discussion about the issue. Following this declaration, they will not be provided with any confidential details from the reporter.
+
+The team will immediately review the incident and determine:
+
+- What happened.
+- Whether this event constitutes a code of conduct violation.
+- Who the reported person is.
+- Whether this is an ongoing situation, or if there is a threat to anyone's physical safety. 
+
+If this is determined to be an ongoing incident or a threat to physical safety, the team's immediate priority will be to protect everyone involved. This means they may delay an official response until they believe that the situation has concluded and that everyone is physically safe.
+
+The moderation team will respond within one week to the person who filed the report with either a resolution or an explanation of why the situation is not yet resolved.
+
+Once the team has determined their final action, they'll contact the reporter to let them know what action (if any) they'll be taking. They'll take into account feedback from the reporter on the appropriateness of the response, but do not guarantee they'll act on it.
+
+Finally, to maintain transparency in the reporting and enforcement process, whenever possible, a public transparency report of the incident will be made. A public report may not be made if the specifics of the incident do not allow the team to preserve anonymity, or if there is potential for ongoing harm.
+
+## Addressing and Repairing Harm
+
+If an investigation by the Community Moderators finds that this Code of Conduct has been violated, the following enforcement ladder may be used to determine how best to repair harm, based on the incident's impact on the individuals involved and the community as a whole. Depending on the severity of a violation, lower rungs on the ladder may be skipped.
+
+1) Warning
+   1) Event: A violation involving a single incident or series of incidents.
+   2) Consequence: A private, written warning from the Community Moderators.
+   3) Repair: Examples of repair include a private written apology, acknowledgement of responsibility, and seeking clarification on expectations.
+2) Temporarily Limited Activities
+   1) Event: A repeated incidence of a violation that previously resulted in a warning, or the first incidence of a more serious violation.
+   2) Consequence: A private, written warning with a time-limited cooldown period designed to underscore the seriousness of the situation and give the community members involved time to process the incident. The cooldown period may be limited to particular communication channels or interactions with particular community members.
+   3) Repair: Examples of repair may include making an apology, using the cooldown period to reflect on actions and impact, and being thoughtful about re-entering community spaces after the period is over.
+3) Temporary Suspension
+   1) Event: A pattern of repeated violation which the Community Moderators have tried to address with warnings, or a single serious violation.
+   2) Consequence: A private written warning with conditions for return from suspension. In general, temporary suspensions give the person being suspended time to reflect upon their behavior and possible corrective actions.
+   3) Repair: Examples of repair include respecting the spirit of the suspension, meeting the specified conditions for return, and being thoughtful about how to reintegrate with the community when the suspension is lifted.
+4) Permanent Ban
+   1) Event: A pattern of repeated code of conduct violations that other steps on the ladder have failed to resolve, or a violation so serious that the Community Moderators determine there is no way to keep the community safe with this person as a member.
+   2) Consequence: Access to all community spaces, tools, and communication channels is removed. In general, permanent bans should be rarely used, should have strong reasoning behind them, and should only be resorted to if working through other remedies has failed to change the behavior.
+   3) Repair: There is no possible repair in cases of this severity.
+
+This enforcement ladder is intended as a guideline. It does not limit the ability of Community Managers to use their discretion and judgment, in keeping with the best interests of our community.
 
 ## Scope
 
-This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, including GitHub and the Prime Radiant Discord server.

+Behavior outside of official Prime Radiant spaces may also be considered as supporting evidence for a report if that behavior establishes a pattern, or represents a potential risk to the Prime Radiant community.
-
-Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
-reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at
-jesse@primeradiant.com.
-All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
-
-All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
-reporter of any incident.
