 class ShadowPlanner:
-    """A lightweight shadow planner that proposes safe deltas during latency partitions.
+    """A minimal shadow planner used for cross-venue safety deltas.
 
-    This is a conservative fallback: given a list of per-venue delta dictionaries,
-    it derives a shadow (safety) delta by taking the minimum delta value observed for
-    each asset across venues. If an asset is missing in some venues, it ignores those
-    venues for that asset. This ensures we never propose a delta larger than any single
-    venue's safe delta in the observed set.
-    
-    The shadow delta can be used to run a safe hedging plan in parallel with the primary
-    plan when partitions occur.
+    This stub provides a deterministic conservative delta based on the
+    local deltas provided by venue solvers. It is intentionally simple for
+    the MVP tests, but serves as a placeholder for a more sophisticated
+    ADMM-like coordinator in the future.
