What's Wrong?

I have configured my Claude Code settings to set to defaultMode: plan. This works great, except on routines. I have created some routines that are allowed to create PRs, and right now all routines end up in "plan mode" and want to request permission for their fix. It would be nice if defaultMode: plan could be ignored for routines, or if we can set a mode override in the routine configuration.

Thanks a lot!

What Should Happen?

Claude Code Routines should not default to plan-mode but always in accept edits for example.
