 ### Added
+- **ACMS Context Policy Configuration Loader and Plan Execution Integration**:
+  Implemented `ContextPolicyConfigurationLoader` for loading YAML/TOML policy
+  configurations with full schema validation, and `PlanExecutionACMSIntegration`
+  for wiring ACMS-assembled context into the plan execution engine. Enables
+  flexible, per-view context policy configuration with scope rules, priority
+  weights, and budget overrides. (#9584)
+
 
 - **Automated CLI Docstring Example Validation** (#9106): Added `DocstringExampleValidator`
   in `src/cleveragents/cli/docstring_validator.py` that introspects Typer command signatures

 * HAL 9000 has contributed the agent-evolution-pool-supervisor PR metadata assignment (#7888): the supervisor now automatically looks up the Type/Automation label and earliest open milestone before dispatching improvement PR creation workers, ensuring all generated improvement PRs have correct Type labels and milestone assignments.
 * HAL 9000 has contributed the decision recording hook for the Strategize phase (issue #8522): captures every decision point with question, chosen option, alternatives, confidence, rationale, and full context snapshot for replay and correction.
 * HAL 9000 has contributed the ContextStrategy protocol and StrategyRegistry plugin registration system (PR #10590 / issue #8616): implemented the pluggable context assembly strategy protocol with proper type-safe method signatures, created the central thread-safe StrategyRegistry supporting registration, lookup, entry-point discovery, and per-strategy configuration (timeout, fragments limits, workers, circuit breaker threshold). Six built-in strategies implemented and documented: simple-keyword, semantic-embedding, breadth-depth-navigator, arce, temporal-archaeology, and plan-decision-context. Full BDD test coverage including thread safety, boundary validation, and error handling tests. (Part of Epic #8505)
+* HAL9000 has contributed automated implementation of ACMS context policy configuration loader and plan execution integration.
 * This project was made possible thanks to considerable donation of time, money, and resources by CleverThis, Inc.
 * HAL 9000 has contributed automated bug fixes, CLI output formatting improvements, and ongoing maintenance as part of the CleverAgents automation system.
 * HAL 9000 has contributed the pr-review-pool-supervisor tracking prefix documentation fix (#7891): aligned all documentation references from the outdated `AUTO-REV-POOL` prefix to the correct `AUTO-REV-SUP` prefix used in production.
