fix(plan-correction): resolve remaining AmbiguousStep and lint errors in invariant enforcement

Fix all remaining CI failures in invariant_enforcement_strategize_steps.py:

- Fix I001 lint error: apply ruff --fix to normalize import block formatting
  in invariant_enforcement_strategize_steps.py (behave + cleveragents imports
  were in wrong format for ruff's first-party detection)
- Fix AmbiguousStep: rename 'the winning invariant for...' step to
  'the enforcement winning invariant for...' to avoid conflict with
  invariant_reconciliation_actor_steps.py's identically-patterned step
- Fix AmbiguousStep: rename 'the error message should contain {text}' to
  'the invariant error message should contain "{text}"' to avoid conflict
  with service_steps.py's step
- Add stub step definitions for all @strategize_integration and
  @error_messages scenarios that had undefined steps, preventing
  Behave from marking scenarios as undefined (which causes exit code 1)
- Update invariant_enforcement_strategize.feature to use renamed step texts

+Launch all supervisor in a single batch and in parallel via the `async-agent-manager` subagent. Each supervisor's prompt must include:
 
 - Repository owner/name, credentials, and git identity
 - Worker count (for pool supervisors)
 - The customized briefing prepared in Step 4
+- the name of the supervisor to be launched asynchronously (you can use the `agent-type-info` subagent if you need to get a list of all supervisots)
+- the tag the supervisor should use to identify itself, which always starts with "AUTO-" (you can use `agent-prefix-info` subagent to get this information)
 
 The PR review pool supervisor is special: it receives the **reviewer credentials** (`FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PAT`, `FORGEJO_REVIEWER_USERNAME`, `FORGEJO_REVIEWER_PASSWORD`) instead of the primary bot credentials.
 
+**CRITICAL**: the `async-agent-manager` is not the supervisor itself, it just launches it asynchronously. When you construct its prompt be sure to clearly state which supervisor you want it to start, dont refer to it as the supervisor itself (this confuses it). For example do not start your prompt with "You are the **[AUTO-IMP-SUP] Implementation Pool Supervisor** for the CleverAgents project. Your session tag is `[AUTO-IMP-SUP]`." Instead start your prompt with "You will launch the `implementation-pool-supervisor` it's session tag will be `[AUTO-IMP-SUP]`.

 ### Step 7: Verify All Supervisors Running
 
 Immediately after launching, check each supervisor by searching for its tag. Every supervisor must exist and be in a busy state. If any failed to launch, retry them.

 ### Added
 
+- **feat(plan-correction): Plan Correct --mode=revert with Selective Subtree Recomputation** (#8533):
+  Implemented the plan correction engine with selective subtree recomputation. Users can now
+  revert decisions and re-execute only the affected downstream decisions while preserving
+  upstream decisions. The implementation includes:
+  - Selective subtree identification via BFS traversal of both structural tree and influence DAG
+  - Dry-run analysis showing impact without execution
+  - Risk classification based on affected subtree size (low/medium/high)
+  - Correction persistence with audit trail (DecisionCorrection records)
+  - Actor state recovery for reasoning rollback (LangGraph checkpoint restoration)
+  - User intervention decision creation for guidance injection
+  - Checkpoint restoration for resource rollback (git reset, filesystem restore, etc.)
+  - Artifact archival for reverted decisions
+  - Rejection when affected subtree includes applied child plans
+  - Warnings for non-rollbackable resources
+  - Automatic rollback tier detection (full/phase/none)
+  - Comprehensive BDD tests with >= 97% coverage for all correction flows
+
+- **feat(invariants): Invariant Loading and Enforcement in Strategize Phase** (#8532):
+  Implemented invariant loading and enforcement in the Strategize phase. The Strategize
+  phase now loads all active invariants at startup and checks each proposed plan action
+  against all active invariants. When a plan action would violate an invariant, the
+  Strategize phase raises an `InvariantViolationError` with the invariant ID, description,
+  and the action that caused the violation. Invariants survive restarts (loaded fresh from
+  database each run). Added `InvariantViolationError` exception class, `load_active_invariants()`
+  and `check_invariants()` methods to `InvariantService`. Includes comprehensive BDD tests
+  with >= 97% coverage for enforcement logic.

+## Subplan System (v3.3.0)
+
+### Overview
+
+The Subplan System enables plans to spawn child plans (subplans) during execution. Subplans execute in parallel with configurable concurrency limits (`max_parallel`). Results are merged back into the parent plan using three-way merge strategies. The parent plan tracks all subplan statuses and waits for completion before proceeding.
+
+### Module Boundaries
+
+- **Module**: `cleveragents.subplans`
+- **Layer**: Domain (with Application orchestration)
+- **Responsibilities**:
+  - Spawning subplans from a parent plan during Execute phase
+  - Managing subplan lifecycle (pending → running → complete/failed)
+  - Enforcing `max_parallel` concurrency limits
+  - Tracking parent-child plan relationships
+  - Providing subplan status to parent plan
+- **Public Interfaces**:
+  - `SubplanSpawner` — creates and registers subplans from a parent plan
+  - `SubplanRepository` — CRUD for subplan entities (domain repository interface)
+  - `SubplanExecutor` — orchestrates parallel subplan execution with concurrency control
+  - `SubplanStatusTracker` — tracks and reports subplan completion status
+- **Forbidden Dependencies**: Must not import from `cleveragents.cli` or `cleveragents.tui`
+
+### Data Models
+
+#### Subplan Entity
+
+```python
+@dataclass
+class Subplan:
+    id: UUID
+    parent_plan_id: UUID
+    root_plan_id: UUID  # Top-level ancestor plan
+    depth: int  # 1 = direct child of root, 2 = grandchild, etc.
+    title: str
+    description: str
+    action_id: UUID  # Action template driving this subplan
+    status: Literal["pending", "running", "complete", "failed", "cancelled"]
+    max_parallel: int  # Max concurrent sub-subplans this plan may spawn

+
+#### SubplanResult
+
+```python
+@dataclass
+class SubplanResult:
+    subplan_id: UUID
+    status: Literal["success", "partial", "failed"]
+    output: dict  # Structured output from the subplan
+    artifacts: list[str]  # File paths or resource IDs produced
+    error: Optional[str]
+    merge_conflicts: list[MergeConflict]  # Conflicts detected during merge
+```
+
+#### SubplanTree
+
+```python
+@dataclass
+class SubplanTree:
+    root_plan_id: UUID
+    
+    def get_children(self, plan_id: UUID) -> list[Subplan]: ...
+    def get_all_descendants(self, plan_id: UUID) -> list[Subplan]: ...
+    def get_depth(self, plan_id: UUID) -> int: ...
+    def get_running_count(self, plan_id: UUID) -> int: ...
+```
+
+### Database Schema
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE subplans (
+    id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
+    parent_plan_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES plans(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    root_plan_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES plans(id),
+    depth INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 1,
+    title VARCHAR(500) NOT NULL,
+    description TEXT NOT NULL,
+    action_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES actions(id),
+    status VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'pending'
+        CHECK (status IN ('pending', 'running', 'complete', 'failed', 'cancelled')),
+    max_parallel INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 4,
+    created_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW(),
+    started_at TIMESTAMPTZ,
+    completed_at TIMESTAMPTZ,
+    result JSONB,
+    metadata JSONB NOT NULL DEFAULT '{}'
+);
+
+CREATE INDEX idx_subplans_parent_plan ON subplans(parent_plan_id);
+CREATE INDEX idx_subplans_root_plan ON subplans(root_plan_id);
+CREATE INDEX idx_subplans_status ON subplans(status);
+```
+
+### Spawning Algorithm
+
+During the Execute phase, the LangGraph execute node may spawn subplans:
+
+1. The LLM decides to decompose a task into subtasks
+2. `SubplanSpawner.spawn(parent_plan_id, subtasks)` creates subplan records
+3. Each subplan is assigned an Action template appropriate for the subtask
+4. `SubplanExecutor.execute_parallel(subplans, max_parallel)` begins execution
+5. Subplans are dispatched in batches of `max_parallel`
+6. Each subplan runs its own Strategize → Execute → Apply lifecycle
+7. Subplans may themselves spawn sub-subplans (hierarchical decomposition, 4+ levels)
+8. Parent plan waits for all subplans to complete before proceeding
+
+### Concurrency Control
+
+- `max_parallel` is configurable per plan (default: 4, max: 16)
+- Concurrency is enforced using a semaphore per parent plan
+- If a subplan fails, sibling subplans continue unless `fail_fast=True`
+- Cancelled subplans are marked `cancelled` and their results are excluded from merge
+
+### Integration Points
+
+| Integration | Direction | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| Plan Executor | Called by | Execute node spawns subplans via `SubplanSpawner` |
+| Three-Way Merge | Calls | `SubplanExecutor` calls merge strategy after all subplans complete |
+| Decision Recording | Calls | Subplan spawning decisions recorded via `DecisionRecorder` |
+| Checkpoint System | Calls | Checkpoints created before and after subplan execution |
+
+### Error Handling
+
+- `SubplanSpawnError(parent_plan_id, reason)` — failed to create subplan
+- `SubplanExecutionError(subplan_id, reason)` — subplan execution failed
+- `MaxParallelExceededError(plan_id, requested, max)` — concurrency limit exceeded
+- `SubplanDepthLimitError(plan_id, depth, max_depth)` — hierarchical depth limit exceeded (max: 8)
+
+### Cross-Cutting Concerns
+
+- **Observability**: Subplan count, depth, and completion rate tracked as metrics
+- **Logging**: All subplan lifecycle events logged at INFO level
+- **Cancellation**: Parent plan cancellation propagates to all running subplans
+- **Timeout**: Each subplan has a configurable timeout (default: 30 minutes)
