Re:Levels of Agentic Engineering

The plan-vs-implementation diff for code review is a neat idea I had not considered. That essentially gives reviewers a spec to review against instead of just reading code in isolation and guessing at intent. Curious if you have ever had the agent update the plan doc mid-implementation when it discovers the original approach will not work, or do you treat the plan as immutable once written?

It's one of the things that surprised me when I first started using the compound engineering plugin.
I've been considering adding a review gate with a reviewing model solely tasked with identifying gaps between the plan and the implementation.
