Planning topologies

The ultra planner has three topologies, selected by the first word of the command arguments. The default is duel. If the first word is not a topology name, it is treated as part of the task.

crossreview (3 calls)

The cheapest topology. plato produces a plan, aristotle red-teams it, and plato revises its own plan to address every valid critique point. One strong author, one challenge, one revision.

duel (5 calls)

plato and aristotle plan blind in parallel, neither seeing the other's work. Then each red-teams the rival's plan in parallel (plato critiques aristotle's plan and vice versa). Finally plato synthesizes THE plan from both plans and both critiques. This is the default.

debate (7 calls)

Everything duel does through the cross-critiques, then exactly one revision round. Each genius revises its own plan given the rival's plan and the critique it received, stealing the rival's best ideas. Then plato synthesizes from the two revised plans plus both critiques. The revision round is hard-capped at one; there are no convergence loops.

Synthesis

Every topology ends with plato as the sole owner of the final plan. Synthesis is never a committee merge. plato adopts the strongest elements, discards the rest, and records in the plan notes exactly what it took from the aristotle plan or critique and what it rejected and why.
