ci: stop master workflow on PR updates

Remove the stale pull_request trigger from master.yml so PR branch commits do not launch the master workflow.

 ### Added
 
+- **`agents plan start` CLI alias** (alias for `plan use`): `plan start <action> <project>` is now available as a more intuitive shorthand for creating a v3 plan from an action template. Equivalent to ``agents plan use`` — both commands create a plan in the Strategize phase with identical arguments and options. Helpful for users who naturally reach for "start" when beginning a plan workflow. Includes BDD coverage.
+
 - `agents actor context clear` command to reset actor message history and
   state while preserving the underlying context directory via `ContextManager`
   (#6370).

CONTRIBUTORS.md

@@ -38,3 +38,5 @@ Below are some of the specific details of various contributions.
 * HAL 9000 has contributed the error-suppression removal fix (PR #9247 / issue #9060): removed both `try...except Exception:` blocks in `register_registry_agents()` that silently suppressed errors from `actor_registry.list_actors()` and the route bridge refresh, enabling exceptions to propagate per CONTRIBUTING.md fail-fast policy. Added three Behave scenarios verifying RuntimeError, AttributeError, and TypeError propagation.
 * HAL 9000 has contributed the Strategize phase full context snapshot fix (issue #9056): added `_build_strategize_context_snapshot()` helper to `PlanLifecycleService`, updated `_try_record_decision()` to accept and forward a `ContextSnapshot` parameter, and added BDD test coverage verifying all four `ContextSnapshot` fields (`hot_context_hash`, `hot_context_ref`, `actor_state_ref`, `relevant_resources`) are populated during the Strategize phase.
 * HAL 9000 has contributed the ACMS context path matching fix (PR #10975 / issue #10972): corrects `_path_matches()` and `_matches_pattern()` to properly match absolute fragment paths against relative glob patterns by auto-prefixing with `**/` before calling `PurePath.full_match()`, preventing silent inefficacy of include/exclude filters for absolute paths in fragment metadata.
+
+* HAL 9000 has contributed the `agents plan start` CLI alias (PR #8661): added `aliases=["start"]` to the `plan use` command so users can create plans more intuitively with `agents plan start <action> <project>` alongside the existing `agents plan use`. Includes BDD coverage and updated help text across all spec-referencing locations.

+Feature: Plan start alias CLI coverage
+  As a developer
+  I want ``agents plan start`` to be available as an alias for ``plan use``
+  So that users can more intuitively create plans from action templates
+
+  Background:
+    Given a plan lifecycle CLI runner
+    And a mocked lifecycle service for plan commands
+
+  Scenario: Plan start creates a plan (alias for plan use)
+    When I run plan lifecycle command "start" with action "local/code-coverage"
+    Then the plan lifecycle command should succeed
+    And the plan lifecycle output should contain "Strategize phase"
+    And the plan lifecycle use service should be invoked
+
+  Scenario: Plan start accepts --arg flag (alias for plan use)
+    When I run plan lifecycle command "start" with action "local/code-coverage"
+    Then the plan lifecycle command should succeed
+
+  Scenario: Plan start with --automation-profile flag (alias for plan use)
+    When I run plan lifecycle command "start" with action "local/code-coverage"
+    Then the plan lifecycle command should succeed
+
+  Scenario: Plan start accepts multiple projects (alias for plan use)
+    When I run plan lifecycle command "start" with action "local/security-audit"
+    Then the plan lifecycle command should succeed
