Tom Boucher f9f72cb54c enhance(#3777): opt-in concurrent per-plan planners in chunked mode (#4346)
* test(#3777): add failing-first coverage for concurrent per-plan planner dispatch

Extracts and executes the real bash blocks this PR is about to add to
plan-phase.md and chunked-planning-mode.md (CHUNKED_PARALLEL resolution and
the BATCH_PLAN_IDS dedup guard), plus config-set/config-get coverage for the
new planning.chunked_parallel key. Expected RED against the current shipped
workflow text — the extraction anchors do not exist yet.

* feat(#3777): dispatch chunked mode's per-plan planners concurrently within a Wave

Adds opt-in planning.chunked_parallel (default false, byte-identical to the
existing serial loop). When true and the runtime's negotiated dispatch
capacity (dispatch-capacity, #3673) is greater than 1, chunked planning's
per-plan Tasks that share one outline Wave are issued together instead of
one at a time; a later Wave still waits for the current one to be verified
on disk and committed. A host with no declared maxConcurrency (most
non-Claude runtimes today) stays serial regardless of the setting.

Resolution and the Plan-ID dedup guard live in chunked-planning-mode.md
itself (gated on the section's own CHUNKED_MODE skip-check) rather than in
plan-phase.md, so a non-chunked run pays no extra gsd_run calls.

* test(#3777): repoint extraction at chunked-planning-mode.md after the move

CHUNKED_PARALLEL resolution moved out of plan-phase.md into
chunked-planning-mode.md itself (see the preceding commit); update the
test's extraction path and header comment to match.

* fix(#3777): relocate the canonical runtime-launcher preamble before its first use

The CHUNKED_PARALLEL resolution block's two gsd_run calls landed earlier in
the file than the sole existing preamble (in the commit step), which
tests/runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs's (B) check requires to precede every
gsd_run call in the file. Move the preamble (not duplicate it) to the top of
the resolution block; the commit step's fenced block now just calls
gsd_run directly.

Caught by the GREEN checkpoint gsd-test run before push.

* fix(#3777): strip the canonical preamble from the extracted resolution block

The CHUNKED_PARALLEL resolution fence now carries the relocated
runtime-launcher preamble as its first line (previous commit). Extracting
the whole fence and running it after the test's own gsd_run stub let the
embedded preamble's own resolver logic `unset -f gsd_run` and exit 1 before
reaching the resolution logic, since no real gsd-tools.cjs exists in the
temp script dir — every test calling runChunkedParallelResolution() failed.

Strip the preamble (sourced from gsd-core/workflows/_runtime-launcher.snippet.sh,
the same file scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs treats as canonical) before
splicing in the stub, so this suite tests only the resolution logic it is
actually about.

Caught by the post-rebase gsd-test run before push.

* docs(#3777): add the How-To page the phase gate requires

Enablement is 2 commands (config-set, then --chunked), which this repo's
own doc-quadrant gate flags as how-to-owed: a reference table cannot carry
a sequence. Covers enablement, the dispatch-capacity gate's honest
"most runtimes today: no effect" case, and the two accepted trade-offs.

An earlier reasoning pass (recorded in .gsd/phase/.../70-docs.json before
this commit) had incorrectly claimed #3034 shipped with no equivalent
how-to page, as precedent for skipping one here. That claim was false —
docs/how-to/enable-parallel-reviewer-lanes.md exists and is indexed. The
phase gate caught the omission before merge; corrected here.

Chunked Mode Return Formats

Used when plan-phase spawns gsd-planner with CHUNKED_MODE=true (triggered by --chunked flag or workflow.plan_chunked: true config). Splits the single long-lived planner Task into shorter-lived Tasks to bound the blast radius of Windows stdio hangs.

Modes

outline-only

Write only {PHASE_DIR}/{PADDED_PHASE}-PLAN-OUTLINE.md. Do not write any PLAN.md files. Return:

## OUTLINE COMPLETE

**Phase:** {phase-name}
**Plans:** {N} plan(s) in {M} wave(s)

| Plan ID | Objective | Wave | Depends On | Requirements |
|---------|-----------|------|-----------|-------------|
| {padded_phase}-01 | [brief objective] | 1 | none | REQ-001, REQ-002 |
| {padded_phase}-02 | [brief objective] | 1 | none | REQ-003 |

The orchestrator reads this table, groups rows by Wave (ascending, blank treated as 1), then spawns one single-plan Task per row — one Wave at a time, serially across Waves. Within a Wave, Tasks are spawned one at a time by default, or together (run_in_background=true on each, issued in one message) when planning.chunked_parallel: true and the host's negotiated dispatch capacity supports it (#3777; see gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/chunked-planning-mode.md §8.5.2).

single-plan

Write exactly one {PHASE_DIR}/{plan_id}-PLAN.md. Do not write any other plan files. Return:

## PLAN COMPLETE

**Plan:** {plan-id}
**Objective:** {brief}
**File:** {PHASE_DIR}/{plan-id}-PLAN.md
**Tasks:** {N}

The orchestrator verifies the file exists on disk after each return, commits it, then moves to the next plan entry from the outline.

Resume Behaviour

If the orchestrator detects that PLAN-OUTLINE.md already exists (from a prior interrupted run), it skips the outline-only Task and goes directly to single-plan Tasks, skipping any {plan_id}-PLAN.md files that already exist on disk.
