What's Wrong?

When running Claude Code with --dangerously-skip-permissions, plan mode (toggled via /plan) only activates correctly on the first use within a session. From the second invocation onward, plan mode is completely ignored — Claude Code skips the planning phase and directly executes actions.

What Should Happen?

Plan mode should activate consistently every time it is toggled on via /plan, regardless of how many times it has been used during the session. Claude Code should always present a plan for review before executing when plan mode is active.

Error Messages/Logs

No error messages displayed. The issue is behavioral — plan mode silently fails
to activate after the first use, with no warnings or errors in the output.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Launch Claude Code with claude --dangerously-skip-permissions
  2. Toggle plan mode on via /plan
  3. Submit a prompt — Claude correctly enters plan mode and presents a plan ✅
  4. Toggle plan mode off, then toggle it back on via /plan
  5. Submit another prompt — Claude skips planning and executes directly ❌

Is this a regression?

Yes, this worked in a previous version

Additional Information

This issue is 100% reproducible. The first /plan toggle in a session always works as expected, but every subsequent toggle fails silently. Restarting Claude Code resets the behavior (i.e., the first /plan works again, but the second does not).
