The with-key recording session the RFC deferred. plan-mode is the 'plan'
header class's pinning scenario and necessarily carries BOTH header
shapes verbatim: the plan-shaped initial snapshot and the widened
fallback snapshot the approved exit produces mid-turn — so the suite
factory's pin guards relax from exactly-one to at-least-one header (the
classmates' uniformity anchor is the pin's FIRST header; transition
headers are legal only in the pin, matching the sandbox stack's
precedent). plan-mode-reject pins the keep-planning branch: the
corrective isError carries the reviewer's free-text feedback verbatim
and the session stays in plan mode, one header, uniform with the pin.
Recording notes, encoded in the prompts: the model is pinned to RELATIVE
paths (a recorded absolute temp path neither replays on another host nor
normalizes — the normalizers scrub the run's own cwd, not the
recording's), and the recorded model never calls a filtered tool, so the
gate's deny path stays pinned at the unit tier — that refusal is the
behavior the soft layer exists to produce. The gen-tool-catalog
meta-test pins exit_plan_mode in the harvested schema list.
The proposal survives contact with the code with three amendments, per
the RFCs-are-proposals rule. (1) A mode transition logs a
request/header-delta only when expressible: adding exit_plan_mode
resorts the canonical tool list, and a pure reordering has no delta
form, so entering plan mode logs the full fallback snapshot — the
attributability claim holds either way. (2) The proposed/ skeleton
converts to the implemented grammar: Proposal → Decision, the roadmap's
staging (now history) drops to the standing Deferred list, and
Acceptance criteria + Risks fold into Consequences (what holds, then the
accepted costs, including the ACP v2 mode-removal migration). (3) The
two recorded scenarios stay pending a with-key session, recorded in
Deferred.
The docs tail completes: the cookbook's plan-mode row upgrades from
sketch to the shipped package, architecture.md gains the ctx.modes
capability row (ceiling 1640 → 1650: a new capability service's table
row does not fit the old budget), and every reference repoints to
implemented/.
Plan mode's stage 2 (RFC 2026-07-07-plan-mode). The exit tool: one
required plan argument (the durable log artifact), execute re-checks the
folded mode, then conducts the review over the user-interaction seam —
one single-select question (Approve / Keep planning) with free text open
— so an approval appends mode/set back to default in-turn and every
other outcome (keep-planning feedback verbatim, aborted, no provider)
returns the corrective isError with the mode unchanged. presentCall is a
generic card titled by the plan's first heading carrying the plan
markdown; over ACP the review rides the ask_user elicitation flow, in
the terminal the stdio prompt queue — no approval-seam dependency.
The ACP bridge maps the picker 1:1 onto ctx.modes (opportunistic, a
type-only peer edge): session/new + session/load advertise
availableModes/currentModeId, session/set_mode validates through set()
and echoes an optimistic current_mode_update (the pending mode IS the
selection; the logged mode/set lands at the boundary and, matching, is
not re-sent), and a session/event listener re-notifies on each logged
flip that differs from the last sent — the tool-driven exit updates the
picker. The feature matrix rows move from 'not modeled' to the
picker-to-modes / knobs-to-config-options division, with the ACP v2
removal direction recorded as a mechanical-migration risk.
The snapshot harness gains the setMode/setModeExpectError ops and a
scripted elicitationAnswers FIFO (cancel on exhaustion; a stray choice
string reaches the agent verbatim as a non-consenting custom answer, so
a scenario bug fails safe). The suite factory's header-pin requirement
now applies only to model-turn scenarios — a protocol-only suite has no
header content to anchor. examples/plan-acp-agent is the live
composition; its keyless modes-advertise scenario pins the wire surface
(advertisement, both set_mode round-trips, unknown-id rejection). The
recorded plan-mode approve/reject arc awaits a with-key recording
session; its texts are pinned at the unit tier meanwhile.
examples/AGENTS.md ceiling 653 → 680: the new example's required smoke
row does not fit the old budget.
