+## Planning Sessions — Manual Verification (Plan C UI)
+
+Requires Plan B (worker hub endpoints) merged. Until then, only the UI structure/styling checks are meaningful.
+
+1. Create a Manual task with a title and a TODO-ish description.
+2. Right-click the task → **Open planning Session** — Windows Terminal opens with Claude CLI running (Plan B).
+3. Ask Claude to create two child tasks via `mcp__claudedo__create_child_task`.
+4. Watch the UI: drafts appear indented under the parent, italic, reduced opacity, with a `DRAFT` badge.
+5. The parent shows a `PLANNING` badge. Click the chevron → children collapse; click again → children expand.
+6. Ask Claude to `finalize` — drafts flip to Manual/Queued children; parent flips to `PLANNED` badge.
+7. In a new planning task, close the terminal without finalize. Right-click the Planning task → the unfinished-session modal opens with Resume / Finalize now / Discard.
+8. Attempt to delete a parent with children via the details panel — confirm the friendly error dialog appears and the task is NOT deleted.
+
+**Known followups (non-blocking):**
+- `Border.badge.planned` style (blue) is defined in `IslandStyles.axaml` but never applied — `TaskRowView` keeps the `planning` class for both Planning and Planned, so Planned gets the amber badge. Either make the view swap `Classes.planned` when status is Planned, or remove the unused style + brush.
+- Dead `Instance` statics on `BoolToItalicConverter` and `BoolToDraftOpacityConverter` — App.axaml registers instances via the resource dictionary; the static members can be removed.
