What Expand Phase does
description: Expand one phase-index row into a full spec, just-in-time, incorporating what earlier phases revealed argument-hint:
/expand-phase
**Purpose:** turn a shallow index entry into an implementable spec — immediately before implementation, never earlier (P4). This is where knowledge from completed phases flows into the plan: the spec is written *after* the phases it depends on have revealed reality.
**Arguments:** `$1` — the phase id (e.g. `03-rate-limit-store`).
