+**During plan mode / planning phase, ask the mouse early and often.** Planning is exactly the phase where prior-session research has the highest leverage: each "what's the pattern for X" / "where do we usually put Y" / "why did we pick Z" answer that's already in the cache saves a research detour, and each new finding worth keeping is one `mouse__add` away from being free next time. Concrete planning-phase prompts: design questions ("what's the right pattern for adding a new `[sql_*]` annotation?"), prior-art questions ("have we hit this glob-vs-rfind path bug before?"), gotcha-recall ("what's the const-stripping reinterpret incantation?"), trade-off recall ("why did we pick (a) over (b) last time?"). If the cache has nothing useful, do the research yourself — then `mouse__add` the answer before moving on, even if rough. The cost of writing a brief `.md` is far smaller than re-researching the same thing.
