Notes

Triggers HOLD on regimen selection until emergency stabilization: cytoreduction with hydroxyurea ± leukapheresis, IV hydration + rasburicase / allopurinol for TLS, electrolyte correction, urgent ICU/heme consult. Plan generation does not start induction — it describes the emergency-management workup. Per CHARTER §15.2 C2 this is partially time-critical; OpenOnco scope is the workup brief, not the bedside order. Priority bumped to 10 to win all conflicts. STUB — requires clinical co-lead signoff.
