planning.generate / planning.select are not on the General's starting menu (src/cmonet/agents/context.py, BOOTSTRAP_OPERATION_NAMES), and the policy never names them. No live LLM report under docs/verification/llm/ or docs/verification/stage12/ contains a planning.* call. The planner and the tactical executor were qualified only without a model (STATUS gates 10-*, 11-*). The model builds packages itself from a 40-row observation view, or calls forces.mobilize / forces.strike_package.

Decision needed (it changes how the General plays). Options:

Offer planning.generate / planning.select on the menu, with argument guidance.
Run the planner first for orders whose objective it covers (strike, surface action, CAP, AEW, ASW, escort, logistics), and hand the General ranked COAs or exact gaps.

Either way, a selected COA then runs through the tactical executor on its own.

Gaps in the planner itself:

no strike-mission COA
no standalone SEAD or tanker-track objective
no reconnaissance, cargo or mining objectives
escorts are planned only against the protected unit's current position
CAP launch nodes stay gated until two fuel samples exist

Found in the 2026-10-13 review (PR #1).

`planning.generate` / `planning.select` are not on the General's starting menu (`src/cmonet/agents/context.py`, `BOOTSTRAP_OPERATION_NAMES`), and the policy never names them. No live LLM report under `docs/verification/llm/` or `docs/verification/stage12/` contains a `planning.*` call. The planner and the tactical executor were qualified only without a model (STATUS gates `10-*`, `11-*`). The model builds packages itself from a 40-row observation view, or calls `forces.mobilize` / `forces.strike_package`. **Decision needed** (it changes how the General plays). Options: - Offer `planning.generate` / `planning.select` on the menu, with argument guidance. - Run the planner first for orders whose objective it covers (strike, surface action, CAP, AEW, ASW, escort, logistics), and hand the General ranked COAs or exact gaps. Either way, a selected COA then runs through the tactical executor on its own. **Gaps in the planner itself:** - no strike-mission COA - no standalone SEAD or tanker-track objective - no reconnaissance, cargo or mining objectives - escorts are planned only against the protected unit's current position - CAP launch nodes stay gated until two fuel samples exist Found in the 2026-10-13 review (PR #1).

The General plans with the deterministic planner; flows replay it in the tester

Done in c1e6d0a (0.7.2), now on master. The planner tools (planning.generate, inspect, compare, select, tactical.status) are on the General's starting menu with argument guidance, and the policy has a PLAN rule. planning.select needs a current presidential order. Flows still round-trip with the tester: exported runs carry the planner's results as mock data, and the tester replays them (tester fad8e5f).
