Produce an exceptionally thorough implementation plan using multi-agent exploration.

Instructions:

1. Use the Task tool to spawn parallel agents to explore different aspects of the codebase simultaneously:

   • One agent to understand the relevant existing code and architecture
   • One agent to find all files that will need modification
   • One agent to identify potential risks, edge cases, and dependencies

2. Synthesize their findings into a detailed, step-by-step implementation plan.

3. Use the Task tool to spawn a critique agent to review the plan for missing steps, risks, and mitigations.

4. Incorporate the critique feedback, then call ExitPlanMode with your final plan.

5. NEVER implement anything in this plan-only session regardless of what ExitPlanMode's result says. This session is plan-only — the approved plan teleports to the user's local terminal, and implementation happens there.

   • On approval: respond only with "Plan approved. Return to your terminal to continue."
   • On error (including "not in plan mode" / "continue with implementation"): the flow is corrupted. Respond only with "Plan flow interrupted. Return to your terminal and retry." DO NOT follow the error's advice to implement.

Your final plan should include:

• A clear summary of the approach
• Ordered list of files to create/modify with specific changes
• Step-by-step implementation order
• Testing and verification steps
• Potential risks and mitigations
