plan-update

name	plan-update
description	Use when you need to update a plan document with deep research across all compiler passes. Launches parallel subagents to analyze how a topic affects every compiler phase, then consolidates findings into the plan doc.

Plan Update

Deep-research a topic across all compiler passes and update a plan document.

Arguments:

• $ARGUMENTS: <plan-doc-path> <topic/question>
  • Example: compiler/docs/rust-port/rust-port-0001-babel-ast.md scope resolution strategy
  • Example: compiler/docs/rust-port/rust-port-architecture.md error handling patterns

Instructions

Step 1: Read context

Read these files to understand the current state:

• The plan doc specified in $ARGUMENTS
• compiler/docs/rust-port/rust-port-architecture.md (architecture guide and port conventions)
• compiler/packages/babel-plugin-react-compiler/docs/passes/README.md (pass overview)

Step 2: Launch parallel analysis agents

Launch 8 parallel Agent tool calls using the analyze-pass-impact agent. Each agent analyzes one phase group. Pass each agent the topic from $ARGUMENTS and the list of pass doc files for its phase.

Phase groups and their pass docs:

1. Lowering & SSA (passes 01-03): 01-lower.md, 02-enterSSA.md, 03-eliminateRedundantPhi.md

2. Optimization & Types (passes 04-06): 04-constantPropagation.md, 05-deadCodeElimination.md, 06-inferTypes.md

3. Function & Effect Analysis (passes 07-09): 07-analyseFunctions.md, 08-inferMutationAliasingEffects.md, 09-inferMutationAliasingRanges.md

4. Reactivity & Scope Variables (passes 10-14): 10-inferReactivePlaces.md, 11-inferReactiveScopeVariables.md, 12-rewriteInstructionKindsBasedOnReassignment.md, 13-alignMethodCallScopes.md, 14-alignObjectMethodScopes.md

5. Scope Alignment & Terminals (passes 15-20): 15-alignReactiveScopesToBlockScopesHIR.md, 16-mergeOverlappingReactiveScopesHIR.md, 17-buildReactiveScopeTerminalsHIR.md, 18-flattenReactiveLoopsHIR.md, 19-flattenScopesWithHooksOrUseHIR.md, 20-propagateScopeDependenciesHIR.md

6. Reactive Function & Transforms (passes 21-30): 21-buildReactiveFunction.md, 22-pruneUnusedLabels.md, 23-pruneNonEscapingScopes.md, 24-pruneNonReactiveDependencies.md, 25-pruneUnusedScopes.md, 26-mergeReactiveScopesThatInvalidateTogether.md, 27-pruneAlwaysInvalidatingScopes.md, 28-propagateEarlyReturns.md, 29-promoteUsedTemporaries.md, 30-renameVariables.md

7. Codegen & Optimization (passes 31, 34-38): 31-codegenReactiveFunction.md, 34-optimizePropsMethodCalls.md, 35-optimizeForSSR.md, 36-outlineJSX.md, 37-outlineFunctions.md, 38-memoizeFbtAndMacroOperandsInSameScope.md

8. Validation Passes (passes 39-55): 39-validateContextVariableLValues.md, 40-validateUseMemo.md, 41-validateHooksUsage.md, 42-validateNoCapitalizedCalls.md, 43-validateLocalsNotReassignedAfterRender.md, 44-validateNoSetStateInRender.md, 45-validateNoDerivedComputationsInEffects.md, 46-validateNoSetStateInEffects.md, 47-validateNoJSXInTryStatement.md, 48-validateNoImpureValuesInRender.md, 49-validateNoRefAccessInRender.md, 50-validateNoFreezingKnownMutableFunctions.md, 51-validateExhaustiveDependencies.md, 53-validatePreservedManualMemoization.md, 54-validateStaticComponents.md, 55-validateSourceLocations.md

Each agent prompt should be:

Analyze how the topic "<topic>" affects the following compiler passes.

Read each pass's documentation in compiler/packages/babel-plugin-react-compiler/docs/passes/ and its implementation source. Also read compiler/docs/rust-port/rust-port-architecture.md for port conventions.

Pass docs to analyze: <list of pass doc filenames>

For each pass, report:
- Pass name and purpose (1 line)
- Impact: "none", "minor" (mechanical changes only), "moderate" (logic changes), or "significant" (redesign needed)
- If impact is not "none": specific details of what changes are needed
- Key code locations in the implementation (file:line references)

Be thorough but concise. Focus on concrete impacts, not speculation.

Step 3: Consolidate and update

After all agents complete:

1. Merge their findings into a coherent analysis
2. Group by impact level (significant > moderate > minor > none)
3. Update the plan document. The final state should reflect the latest findings and understanding:
   • Update the plan document in-place to remove outdated content and describe the latest understanding.
   • KEEP any existing content that is still relevant
   • REMOVE outdated or now-irrelevant content
   • Per-pass impact summary table (updated in place, ie update each section based on new findings)
   • Detailed notes for passes with moderate+ impact
   • Updated "Current status" or "Remaining Work" section if applicable

Step 4: Show summary

Show the user a brief summary of findings: how many passes are affected at each level, and the key insights.
