Approve a plan

After a planning session completes, Zero presents a proposed plan. You must approve it before any code changes are executed. This is mandatory — Zero does not run fixes without approval.

Steps

  1. After the planning session ends, the plan appears in the case view under the current session.
  2. Review: hypothesis, proposed fix approach, files to be modified, required tests.
  3. If the plan looks correct: click Approve. Case moves to IMPLEMENTING.
  4. If the plan is wrong or incomplete: click Reject, add a note. Session is logged as rejected.
  5. If you need to modify the plan: click Edit plan, adjust the hypothesis or fix approach, then approve the modified version.

Zero executes code changes against your actual codebase. Review the plan carefully before approving — especially for files outside the expected change scope.

Responsibility

Warning. Approval means you have reviewed the proposed approach. You remain responsible for reviewing the final diff before merging.
