Review follow-up (tianyicui): plan mode and the sandbox are orthogonal
AXES, not just orthogonal state — entering plan must not change what the
sandbox enforces, matching Codex's separation of Plan/Default
collaboration presets from sandbox and approval settings.
ModeDefinition.access, the bash/resolve-mode clamp, and both cap-derived
guards are removed; a ModeDefinition is exactly { section }, and a mode
now carries only its guidance section plus the exit_plan_mode review.
The bash seam's resolveMode + waterfall go with their only listener:
dsh-bash and dsh-tool-bash revert to master byte-for-byte, and the
dsh-mode → dsh-bash dependency edge is gone. A deployment that wants
kernel-enforced read-only planning pairs the mode picker with the
independent sandbox-mode option, in either order.
The RFC archives this as the second removed enforcement shape (after
the interim allowlist) with the same restart trigger — effects
self-declaration; the orthogonality FAQ now answers with the two-axis
rule. The plan example demonstrates the axes side by side, and the
re-recorded fixtures pin the guidance-only section.

plan-acp-agent
The coding agent as an ACP server with session modes composed — the live composition of the plan-mode RFC.
What it demonstrates
session/new advertises the mode picker (default / plan) plus the sandbox-mode and approval config options — two independent axes on one session, the composition this example exists to demonstrate. Plan mode adds the plan guidance section and the exit_plan_mode tool and touches nothing else: the sandbox keeps whatever mode its own knob says (workspace-write here by default), escalation prompts work in plan exactly as in default, and switching either axis never disturbs the other, in any order. A user who wants a hard read-only floor while planning flips the sandbox-mode option to read-only alongside the mode picker. There is deliberately no per-mode tool list either: write/edit/bash stay present in plan and the section's guidance is what defers changes to after the review (the effects-based generalization is the RFC's deferred item). A blocking decision goes to the user through ask_user_question. The model leaves by presenting its plan through exit_plan_mode: the plan markdown renders as the tool's call card, the review question arrives as an elicitation form (approve / keep planning, free text welcome), and a keep-planning answer returns the feedback to the model verbatim.
Run
pnpm run demo:plan-acp # needs DEEPSEEK_API_KEY (repo-root .env works)
Drive it from Zed or any ACP client; the mode picker appears on the session beside the sandbox/approval selects. Switching back to default (or an approved exit_plan_mode) drops the plan section and the exit tool on the next step; the sandbox and approval knobs stay exactly where the user left them.
Tests
pnpm run test:snapshot replays three scenarios keyless (the recorded bash re-executes for real under the host's sandbox runner — Seatbelt on macOS, bwrap on Linux CI). modes-advertise (authored): the modes advertisement and both config options on session/new, both session/set_mode round-trips with their optimistic current_mode_update, and the loud rejection of an unknown mode id, as committed wire bytes. plan-mode (recorded, the header pin): the full arc — setMode(plan), the plan-shaped initial header (full toolset + exit tool + section), a real cat run inside plan (under the sandbox's own workspace-write default — the mode does not change it), the plan presented via exit_plan_mode, a scripted elicitation approve, the boundary-flushed mode/set back with its pure-removal request/header-delta, then a real edit mid-turn. plan-mode-reject (recorded): the keep-planning branch, whose corrective isError carries the reviewer's free-text feedback verbatim and leaves the session in plan mode. The sandbox-denial marker stays pinned at the unit tier (packages/bash/tool-bash/tests — a recorded denial's stderr would be the backend's dialect and replay only where it was recorded).
