| 184 | route, `POST /api/v1/repos/:owner/:name/plan` with `{ "issues": [...] }` | |
| 185 | (`rw` scope; a crew member's run token may use it), which calls the same | |
| 186 | action as the MCP `plan` tool (`openPlan`): the same items, the same | |
| 187 | refusals, all or nothing. An item names its `pillar`, or is `later: true` | |
| 188 | with `why`; one that says neither is refused with `no_pillar` and nothing is | |
| 189 | opened, so the planner reads the refusal, names the pillar or defers the | |

Good: the scope check comes before any repository lookup,
loadRepohides private repositories, andopenPlanre-checks write access or crew membership, so a crew planner without write access gets exactly what it gets through MCP.
