/**
 * autoplan-gate — phase close and the final gate of the unattended runner
 * (plan B2, B9, B11). `closePhase` reconciles the outside pass against the
 * native one from canonical ids (lib/autoplan-reconcile.ts), writes the
 * consensus record and the timing row, and marks the phase closed.
 * `finishGate` turns disagreements and user challenges into one gate list
 * (lib/gate-list.ts: `d<n>` auto items, `uc<n>` approval items, `p1` the plan
 * approval), writes decisions.jsonl, tasks.jsonl and the exported files, and
 * leaves the run `gate_pending`: unattended never approves. `answerGate`
 * applies one reply atomically (a stale or conflicting reply writes nothing;
 * a partial one records its answers and keeps the gate); a chosen option that
 * changes the plan (`changes_plan`) reopens the dependent phases with Eng last
 * and is recorded as a pending amendment, and only a reply that changes
 * nothing reviewed finalizes `run.json.status`. Rerun gates turn challenges
 * that name no scope, cost or direction into agent decisions, and answers to
 * unchanged proposals from phases that did not rerun carry forward.
