## AUDIT DECISION: PASS
**Ticket:** #161 - Make planner a standalone agent
**PR:** #87
**Reviewer:** tinker-reviewer
### Decision: PASS AUDIT ✅
This PR successfully makes the planner agent a standalone first-class agent, independent of the orchestrator.
### What Works
- ✅ Planner now uses `tinker-planner` MCP identity (not `tinker-orchestrator`)
- ✅ Planner agents are created automatically in new projects
- ✅ Planner has wildcard MCP access (verified in mcp_permissions.yml)
- ✅ All 38 agent specs pass
- ✅ Full test suite passes (2 pre-existing UI failures unrelated to this PR)
- ✅ Comprehensive tests added for the new functionality
### Implementation Quality
**Minimal & Focused:** Only 5 files changed, 41 additions, 3 deletions. The implementation is surgical - touching only what's needed.
**Well-Tested:** New tests verify planner creation, duplicate prevention, and naming conventions.
**No Regressions:** All existing tests pass.
### Ready to Merge
No issues found. The PR can be merged immediately.
