The plan is still a map, not prose: define the harness claim, decide which sources are load-bearing, and mark the holes that cannot be hand-waved in draft.
Every row needs a next action before writing starts. RLMs stay only if they explain the control loop.
Akhil is not line-editing yet. He is ranking unresolved claims: what must be proven, what can be deferred, and which section carries the technical burden.
The plan only advances when each open hole has an owner, a source, or a deliberate skip.
