type:audit type:review

Adversarially review a technical design document with fresh context. Dispatches the built-in read-only `Explore` subagent (clean context, no shared history with the design-author) against `docs/plans/<id>/design.md` and presents its verdict — APPROVE, REQUEST CHANGES, or COMMENT. The Review brief doubles as the pipeline's DESIGN review gate; standalone use remains. Trigger on "review the design doc", "audit design.md", "is this design ready", or `/eng-design-doc-review`.
