Plan Loader

STATUS — v3.7.0-alpha.1. Provides plan context for hierarchical planning system.

Behavior (in order)

1. Detect: if .claude/plans/ does NOT exist → exit silently (no plan = no overhead)
2. Read .claude/plans/active.json — get current focus pointer
3. Load mission.md — T0 (always loaded if exists)
4. Load active T1 (Initiative) if active.initiative set
5. Load active T2 (Feature) if active.feature set
6. Load active T3 (Story) if active.story set, plus sibling T4 summaries (id + intent + status only — not full body)
7. Load active T4 (Task) if active.task set
8. Stamp loaded plan nodes with trust: plan for memory-trust-policy.md discipline
