 When computing the effective set of invariants for a plan, the precedence chain is:
 
 ```
-plan > project > global
+plan > action > project > global
 ```
 
 - **Plan-level** invariants take highest precedence.
+- **Action-level** invariants apply next. Action invariants are also promoted to plan scope when `plan use` is called, but they remain resolvable at action scope during reconciliation.
 - **Project-level** invariants apply next.
 - **Global-level** invariants are lowest precedence.
