Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
In VSCode, the side panel view of the current plan document is gated behind ExitPlanMode, which also doubles as the approval trigger, so there's no way to refresh it mid-discussion without that also signaling "I'm done planning."
Proposed Solution
Remove the gating and allow Claude to show the plan for review before having to signal that the plan is done
Alternative Solutions

Priority
Medium - Would be very helpful
Feature Category
Interactive mode (TUI)
Use Case Example
- Tell Clauide to stop running ahead for approval to refine the plan
- Make changes to the plan
- The document that Claude showed trying to run ahead with implimenting is sill shown unchanged
- Ask Claude to show the current plan... it can't
