Implementation Plan Consistency (IPLAN-004)

• Treat plan-derived outputs as valid source mode and verify intent preservation from implementation plan scope/objectives.
• Validate upstream autopilot precedence assumption: --iplan > --ref > --prompt.
• Flag objective/scope conflicts between plan context and artifact output as blocking issues requiring clarification.
• Do not introduce legacy fallback paths such as docs-v2.0/00_REF.
