Disclaimer Language

Planning and review agents display a CAUTION disclaimer at startup or when presenting findings. Each H2 section below is the verbatim disclaimer for one planner or review family and is loaded by its consuming artifact before use.

<!-- Authoring contract (parsed by scripts/linting/Validate-PlannerArtifacts.ps1):

• Each planner or review family gets exactly one H2 section. The first whitespace-delimited word of the heading, lowercased, is the slug (e.g. "SSSC Planning" -> "sssc"; "Code-Review" -> "code-review").
• A section may override the derived slug with exactly one <!-- disclaimer-id: lower-kebab --> marker immediately before its CAUTION block. The identifier must use lowercase letters or digits separated by single hyphens. Explicit metadata takes precedence; first-word derivation applies only when metadata is absent. Empty, malformed, misplaced, or repeated markers are invalid.
• The slug derives: planner key {slug}-planner; disclaimer id {slug}-full-disclaimer; disclaimer label {heading} Disclaimer.
• Each H2 must contain exactly one > [!CAUTION] blockquote; only the first is extracted.
• The CAUTION prose should begin with **Disclaimer:** (trailing colon optional); the prefix is stripped before matching against artifact footers.
• Multi-line blockquote prose is joined with single spaces. -->

Canonical session-state fields consumed by this disclaimer protocol

Planning and coaching agents that adopt this disclaimer protocol persist acknowledgment in their session state file (state.json for planners; coaching-state.md YAML for the DT Coach). The following field is required:

• disclaimerShownAt — ISO 8601 timestamp recording the most recent time the full disclaimer was shown to the user. Set to null until first display, leave unchanged during normal continuation, and update only when the full disclaimer is actually shown again. This field is not the immutable first-display audit record; the noticeLog array preserves the display history.
