Claude Code: Uses EnterPlanMode tool despite explicit instructions to present plan as text

Problem

Claude Code repeatedly invokes the EnterPlanMode tool even though:

1. CLAUDE.md clearly states: "Present plan/proposal first, then wait for 'OK', 'Do it', 'Yes' or similar approval"
2. Direct prompts like "Make a plan and wait for approval" are ignored

Expected Behavior

• Present the plan as plain text
• Wait for explicit approval before proceeding
• DO NOT invoke the EnterPlanMode tool

Actual Behavior

• EnterPlanMode tool is invoked, forcing an unnecessary user interaction
• Violates the working rules defined in CLAUDE.md
• Happens repeatedly despite corrections

Priority

HIGHEST PRIORITY — blocks effective collaboration

Affected Rule (CLAUDE.md)

NEVER start without approval — ALWAYS wait for explicit confirmation before changing code. Present plan/proposal first, then wait for "OK", "Do it", "Yes" or similar approval.

Resolution

When the user says "make a plan", Claude Code must write text and wait — NOT invoke a tool.
