Milestone planning always

  - f2 contradiction on milestone-request-owner-plan: The leaf is parented under accept-policy (01M5SWTCJQP64M9ZDHGT7GS7PT), whose statement is 'Acceptance policy decides which change sets are accepted without the owner'. This leaf is about whether the daemon passes --autonomous to a milestone request's plan run, not about acceptance, so it contradicts its parent's scope. It belongs under plan-requests, beside request-queue (the capability that owns the daemon's plan-run autonomy for requests) and its milestone siblings (request-names-milestone, plan-run-hands-milestone). — confirmed: accept-policy's statement covers only acceptance: which change sets are accepted without the owner. Its existing child stage-autonomy covers ship, signoff and accept, not plan. Plan autonomy for requests is owned by request-queue under daemon/plan-requests, next to request-names-milestone and plan-run-hands-milestone. A leaf about leaving out --autonomous on a milestone request's plan run is outside accept-policy's scope and belongs under plan-requests or request-queue.
- Round 2: 1 finding, 1 confirmed
  - f1 contradiction on milestone-plan-refuses-autonomous: The leaf makes run start refuse --autonomous on a plan run of an existing record change set, but the code's own tests of autonomous planning do exactly that: cmd/rhiza/testdata/script/plan-workflow-autonomous.txtar (line 42) and plan-workflow-autonomous-left.txtar (line 39) run `rhiza run start --foreground <record cs> --workflow plan --autonomous` to plan a milestone (intent milestone=1), and they verify landed capabilities plan-autonomous-interview, plan-review-arbitrated and plan-gate (evidence plan-review-arbitrated-verified, plan-gate-verified, plan-step-milestone-check-verified). The plan neither moves those scripts to an intention change set nor revises those capabilities, so building the leaf as planned breaks their verifying tests; the leaf's acceptance should name moving them to an intention plan (or the plan should say how those capabilities are verified afterwards). — confirmed: Both scripts start `rhiza run start --foreground <record cs> --workflow plan --autonomous` (plan-workflow-autonomous.txtar:39-42, plan-workflow-autonomous-left.txtar:39), exactly what the leaf makes run start refuse. Landed plan-gate's acceptance also needs an autonomous plan run on a record change set whose added intent is served by two drafts, accepted with rule autonomous, and plan-autonomous-interview's needs an autonomous run that reaches the review. Once the leaf is built, those landed acceptances describe a run Rhiza refuses. The plan changes none of them and doesn't say how they get verified afterwards. The leaf's acceptance (or a revision of those capabilities) should move the autonomous cases to an intention change set's plan run.

## Accepted in the owner's place

- 2026-11-05T04:24:12Z accepted change set 01M6MY8BMPFK9ZWD3TDQHKT64J (log entry 01M6MZ6DYASNYE8GQJ548CQP2Z)

## Questions put to the arbiter

- question-58fb9cbb-1 (01M6MYBH597QRAM0PS1MTJFMEP): Change set 'Milestone planning always' serves no intent yet. Which landed intent should it serve? (Recent fix change sets like 01M6MT67 serve milestone-25, the open milestone; milestone-22 is the one about switching stages between autonomous and owner-driven.) / How should Rhiza make sure a milestone plan run (a record change set, or a request of kind milestone) never runs autonomously? — decision milestone-plan-never-autonomous

## Review rounds

- Round 1: 2 findings, 2 confirmed
  - f1 contradiction on milestone-request-owner-plan: The landed request-queue capability (and its parent plan-requests) states the daemon starts a request's plan run 'autonomous when rhiza.autonomy.plan is auto' for every request kind, and its acceptance checks '--autonomous only with plan auto' including a milestone's --milestone start. This leaf makes milestone requests never autonomous, but the plan changes neither statement, so after it lands the model contradicts itself and the code. The plan should amend request-queue's (and plan-requests') statement to except milestone requests, or say why not. — confirmed: Landed request-queue (and plan-requests) say the daemon starts the oldest queued request's plan run 'autonomous when rhiza.autonomy.plan is auto', with no exception by kind. The decision stage-autonomy-meanings says the same ('plan auto: the daemon runs a requested plan autonomously'). The new leaf makes milestone requests never autonomous, and the change set changes none of these nodes, so once it lands the model contradicts itself. The fix is cheap: amend those statements to except milestone requests, or put the leaf under request-queue as an explicit refinement.
  - f2 contradiction on milestone-request-owner-plan: The leaf is parented under accept-policy (01M5SWTCJQP64M9ZDHGT7GS7PT), whose statement is 'Acceptance policy decides which change sets are accepted without the owner'. This leaf is about whether the daemon passes --autonomous to a milestone request's plan run, not about acceptance, so it contradicts its parent's scope.
