What's Wrong?
While in plan mode of claude code (running in a vterm) I got a menu that had the text "Ready to execute..." or similar at the top of the menu. I cannot give exactly what the message was because the UI doesn't leave it there after I respond (making it difficult to talk about what went wrong). The message "ready to execute" made me think any of the options I picked (i.e. "approve ...") would cause the plan to be approved and executed. I repeatedly cancelled the menu because I did not want anything executed. I final chose something like "approve with manual modifications". I got in a back in forth with claude because I cancelled, which left it in planning mode and constrained on what it could do to answer questions I asked in planning mode.
What Should Happen?
The menu should provide an option that clearly says claude will clearly stop the planning process and execute nothing.
Error Messages/Logs
Steps to Reproduce
- enter claude code
- You have been burned before with unintended changes. You want to be careful.
- enter planning mode and prompt with non-trivial problem
- After UI says it has a plan, inspect the full menu. Imagine that something in the plan made you question the premise of the plan such that you need to "talk it over" more. Look for an obvious way to exit an discuss with the hope of re-planning with possibly a different premise.
- Your menu options are limited. None of the sound safe because of the "Are you ready to execute" text just above the menu. "NO! I'm not ready to execute. I need to discuss this first"
