Create executable phase prompts (PLAN.md files) for a roadmap phase with integrated research and verification.
**Default flow:** Research (if needed) → Plan → Verify → Done
**Orchestrator role:** Parse arguments, validate phase, research domain (unless skipped), spawn mindforge-planner, verify with mindforge-plan-checker, iterate until pass or max iterations, present results.

Phase number: $ARGUMENTS (optional — auto-detects next unplanned phase if omitted)
**Flags:**
- `--research` — Force re-research even if RESEARCH.md exists
- `--skip-research` — Skip research, go straight to planning
- `--gaps` — Gap closure mode (reads VERIFICATION.md, skips research)
- `--skip-verify` — Skip verification loop
- `--prd ` — Use a PRD/acceptance criteria file instead of discuss-phase. Parses requirements into CONTEXT.md automatically. Skips discuss-phase entirely.
- `--reviews` — Replan incorporating cross-AI review feedback from REVIEWS.md (produced by `/mindforge-review`)
- `--ads` — Use Adversarial Decision Synthesis (Architect vs Auditor) for high-fidelity planning
- `--text` — Use plain-text numbered lists instead of TUI menus (required for `/rc` remote sessions)
Normalize phase input in step 2 before any directory lookups.
Execute the plan-phase workflow from @.agent/workflows/mindforge-plan-phase.md end-to-end.
Preserve all workflow gates (validation, research, planning, verification loop, routing).
