Plan mode gets stuck when switching to remote control with 'approve plan and skip permissions'

Bug Description

When Claude Code is in planning mode and the user switches to remote control mode (e.g., via an IDE integration), the "Approve plan and skip permissions" option does not work as expected. Instead of approving the plan and proceeding with execution, Claude Code remains stuck in planning mode.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start a task in Claude Code that enters planning mode
  2. Switch Claude Code to remote control mode (e.g., from an IDE like VS Code/Cursor)
  3. Select "Approve plan and skip permissions" when prompted
  4. Observe that Claude Code remains in planning mode instead of proceeding to execution

Expected Behavior

Selecting "Approve plan and skip permissions" should approve the current plan and transition Claude Code out of planning mode into execution, skipping permission prompts as intended.

Actual Behavior

Claude Code stays in planning mode. The plan is not approved and execution does not begin despite selecting the option.

Environment

  • Claude Code CLI
  • Occurs when transitioning between planning mode and remote control mode
