Problem Statement

When Claude Code proposes a plan, the action panel only offers Revise, Accept, and Accept and auto mode. There is no button to exit plan mode and continue the conversation as a normal chat.

This matters when I don't want to revise the plan and I'm not ready to accept it — I just want to ask a question, discuss the approach, or get more context before deciding. The Revise field is for revising the plan, not for chat.

The only workaround today is to type something like "exit plan mode" into Revise. That misuses the field (it's labeled and intended for plan revisions, not control commands) and depends on Claude correctly interpreting the message as a mode-exit rather than as a revision request.

Proposed Solution

Add a "Continue chat" button to the plan action panel, alongside Revise / Accept

Clicking it should exit plan mode and drop me back into normal chat, where I can ask questions and discuss the plan freely. From there I can re-enter plan mode whenever I'm ready.

This replaces the current workaround of typing "exit plan mode" into the Revise field with an explicit, discoverable control that does exactly what its label says.
