What's Wrong?

When in plan mode, selecting the option to ask a question used to display the
question
in the regular conversation context area above the plan mode section. This no longer
happens — the question disappears into the plan mode UI and isn't visible in the main
conversation flow.

This makes it harder to track the back-and-forth during planning, since you lose the
thread of what you asked and when.

What Should Happen?

Questions asked during plan mode should appear in the main conversation area above
the plan section, as they did in versions prior to ~2.1.81. This lets you follow the
full planning dialogue as a readable thread.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start a Claude Code session
  2. Enter plan mode (e.g., ask Claude to plan a non-trivial task)
  3. When presented with plan mode options, select the option to ask a question
  4. Type and submit a question
  5. Observe that the question text does NOT appear in the main conversation

area above the plan mode section — it only exists within the plan UI

Additional Information

This changed around the same time as the plan acceptance menu was reduced from
