What's Wrong?

When using plan mode in the VS Code extension, the plan opens in a custom webview tab (with the "Ready for review" banner). Inline code spans and fenced code blocks in this webview render with a light/white background, making text nearly invisible when using a dark editor theme.

What Should Happen?

Code blocks in the plan mode webview should render with colors appropriate for the active editor theme (dark background + light text when using a dark theme).

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Use a dark theme in VS Code/Cursor
  2. Enter plan mode (Shift+Tab)
  3. Have Claude generate a plan that includes inline code or fenced code blocks
  4. The plan opens in a separate tab with the "Ready for review" banner
  5. Code blocks render with a light background — text is unreadable
