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.
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); the editor's session/set_mode switches the session, applied at the next turn boundary. In plan mode the model sees only the read-only allowlist (read, todo_write, exit_plan_mode here — this tree loads no web tools) plus the plan-mode guidance section, and every call outside the allowlist is denied at tools/pre-execute with a reason that steers it back to planning. 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. Switching back to default (or an approved exit_plan_mode) restores the full toolset on the next step.
Tests
pnpm run test:snapshot replays the keyless modes-advertise scenario: the modes advertisement 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. The recorded plan-mode arc (explore → denied write → exit_plan_mode → scripted approve / keep-planning) awaits a with-key recording session; its deny/review texts are pinned at the unit tier meanwhile (packages/mode/mode/tests, packages/ui/acp/tests/modes.spec.ts).
