To validate plan readiness, check that required sections exist and are free of placeholders. This ensures plans are fully detailed and safe before proceeding to the implementation phase.

Align plans with referenced specifications by cross-checking the plan interface against INV-*, TRD-*, and ADR-* documents to ensure complete conformity before approval.

Aligning plan deliverables with L4 functional requirements involves mapping deliverables to requirements and reporting gaps for operator decision before proceeding.

You need a quality gate checkpoint when transitioning from plan authoring to implementation, ensuring design decisions and risk mitigations meet quality criteria before triggering the approval phase.

Yes, you can automate plan validation as an optional gating mechanism before the DO phase. Manually activate the validation cycle to enforce readiness and safety checks.

The validation process checks for the existence of required plan sections and eliminates placeholder text, but operators must manually resolve reported L4 alignment gaps before final approval.
