Maximum-rigor, exhaustive review of a HIGH-RISK or cross-cutting implementation plan, design doc, or architecture proposal — use only when the user explicitly asks for a deep/mega/boil-the-ocean review or the change is high-blast-radius. Three modes: SCOPE EXPANSION (build the cathedral), HOLD SCOPE (bulletproof what is here), SCOPE REDUCTION (cut to essentials). Maps every failure mode, demands observability, models threats, names error and rescue paths. Review only — does not modify code. For an ordinary bounded pre-coding review use plan-exit-review, and for multi-reviewer adversarial critique of an idea, decision or artifact that is not a pre-coding plan gate use adversarial-review. Triggers: "mega plan review", "maximum rigor review", "boil the ocean review", "review this high-risk plan", "deep review before I build this".
