Bring /ba:review-plan up to parity with /ba:review #27

Description

Why

/ba:review-plan has drifted well behind /ba:review. /ba:review has had sustained investment — a consolidation pipeline, confidence/severity machinery, reviewer discovery/selection refinements, and an in-flight automation roadmap — while /ba:review-plan has not kept pace. This issue tracks bringing review-plan up to parity.

Deliberately not pinning specifics. /ba:review is actively changing, so by the time this is picked up its exact mechanics will differ from today. Treat /ba:review as it stands at pick-up time as the reference, not any snapshot described here.

Known gaps (illustrative, not a spec)

  • The entire confidence/severity ladder and consolidation machinery is missing from review-plan. /ba:review consolidates, dedups, and severity/confidence-ranks findings, then gates/suppresses the weak ones; review-plan has none of that.
  • None of the /ba:review automation work currently being designed is being applied to review-plan either. See [roadmap] automate the /ba:review interactive loop while preserving reviewer taste #23 and the brainstorm at docs/brainstorms/2026-06-06-ba-review-automation-brainstorm.md — those improvements (smarter reviewer selection, finding verification, pre-existing handling, …) should be considered for review-plan too, in whatever form they ultimately ship.

Important: a plan review is not a code review

Don't expect a verbatim port. Reviewing a plan is a different activity from reviewing code: findings are about plan quality — gaps, ambiguity, missing acceptance criteria, risky sequencing, unstated assumptions — not file:line code issues. The reviewer roster, and what a "finding" even means, differ. So parity means adapting /ba:review's mechanisms to the plan-review domain, which will take some up-front exploration rather than a copy-paste.

Suggested next step

Start with a research/brainstorm pass that maps /ba:review's then-current capabilities against /ba:review-plan, and decides which translate directly, which need adapting to plan review, and which don't apply at all.
