-- **ACMS Default Pipeline Wiring** (#9169): `ACMSExecutePhaseContextAssembler` now
-  defaults to `ContextAssemblyPipeline()` instead of the base `ACMSPipeline()` when
-  no pipeline is injected. This ensures plan execution context assembly uses the full
-  production pipeline with `ConfidenceWeightedSelector`, `ProportionalBudgetAllocator`,
-  and `ParallelStrategyExecutor`. The DI container's `acms_pipeline` singleton and
-  `plan.py`'s `_get_plan_executor()` are updated accordingly. BDD coverage added to
   verify `ContextAssemblyPipeline` is the default.
