Summary

Adds /plan command palette and TUI workflow for PermissionModePlan, including durable plan storage outside the workspace, editor round-trip via $VISUAL/$EDITOR, physical containment of staging paths, and cancel-safe plan lifecycle handling.

Changes

  • Add plan command palette and model integration in internal/tui.
  • Implement durable plan file storage, physical path resolution, and staging in internal/planmode.
  • Add test coverage across Windows and Unix staging behaviors.

Test plan

  • go test ./internal/tui/... -count=1
  • go test ./internal/planmode/... -count=1

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added durable plan storage outside the workspace, with /plan open support for editing plans in $VISUAL or $EDITOR.
    • Edited plans now reload into the plan panel and planning workflow.
    • Plan state is preserved across side conversations and restored when returning.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Plan mode now blocks permission requests and mutating control tools.
    • Active loops, goal continuations, queued prompts, and executable hooks pause during plan mode.
    • Plans are protected against unsafe links, junctions, and invalid file targets across platforms.
  • Tests
    • Expanded coverage for plan editing, persistence, session switching, safety, and plan-mode behavior.

- restrict plan file permissions to owner only (0o700 dir, 0o600 file)
- surface editor failures from /plan open in the transcript
- simplify fileExists to return a bool
- collapse redundant plan path resolution in planText
/plan open was non-functional because run.go assigned the live program
to a copy of the model after tea.NewProgram had already captured it by
value; the field is removed and tea.ExecProcess is used directly.
Shift+Tab no longer silently drops plan mode, planmode.DraftSystemPrompt
is wired into plan-mode runs, plan file paths reject symlink escapes,
read errors are no longer swallowed, opening a new plan file seeds it
from the agent's draft instead of leaving it blank and shadowing that
draft, /plan off restores the prior permission mode instead of forcing
Auto, and the session slug is stable when no session ID exists yet.
…g, and persistence

Make a bare /plan toggle off when already active instead of only
reprinting the plan. Scope plan mode to the session that entered it:
/new and /resume to a different session now exit plan mode instead of
leaking a stale grant or restore-mode across sessions. Create the
active session before naming its plan file so a fresh TUI no longer
collides on a shared plan.md. Persist every update_plan call to the
plan file so it is the durable source of truth instead of an
in-memory snapshot. Replace the preflight Lstat symlink check with
os.Root, closing the check/use race via descriptor-relative
operations. Skip the plan-file permission assertions on Windows,
where POSIX mode bits aren't meaningful.
…odes

exitPlanMode() unconditionally reset permissionMode to Auto before
restoring permissionModeBeforePlan, so /new and /resume to a different
session dropped an explicit Ask/Auto choice made outside plan mode.
Only touch permissionMode when actually leaving PermissionModePlan.
…tus and notes

/plan open let the user edit the plan file in $EDITOR, but the edit was
never synced back into the in-memory update_plan, so it kept driving
execution off the stale pre-edit draft. reloadPlanFromFile() now parses
the saved file and pushes it back into update_plan via a new SetPlan
method.

The first version of that parser discarded each item's [status] bracket
(resetting everything to pending on reload) and mis-parsed a "Notes: ..."
continuation line as its own bogus plan step. Both are fixed: status is
parsed back through the tool's existing normalization, and a Notes line
folds into the preceding item instead of becoming a new one.
The palette showed "/plan - Show planning mode status" but /plan
actually toggles plan mode and supports open/off subcommands.
…and session reset

- executeRequestPermissions now denies plan/spec-draft mode
  unconditionally, instead of relying on the registry-based
  ToolAdvertised gate, which only fires when the tool happens to be
  present in whatever registry the caller passed in.
- /new and /resume now clear the shared update_plan state and sticky
  plan panel on a session switch, not just the permission mode.
- A successful $EDITOR exit from /plan open now always emits
  planEditorFinishedMsg, so edited plan content actually reloads
  instead of being silently dropped.
- /plan open now blocks while a run is active, matching the bare
  /plan toggle's guard.
- parsePlanFileLines now folds multi-line Notes blocks instead of
  treating continuation lines as bogus new steps.
…ext, other findings

- /plan open now stages the plan file for $EDITOR in config.UserConfigDir()
  instead of handing it a workspace-relative path: ReadPlan/WritePlan resolve
  through os.Root and can't be redirected, but the external editor process
  opens its argument path with ordinary I/O, so a sandboxed tool invocation
  could previously replace the plan file with a symlink between our
  protected write and the editor's open. The OS temp directory doesn't avoid
  this since the sandbox's default write scope explicitly includes it.
- A user-edited plan now gets recorded as a session event on reload, so it
  actually reaches the model's context instead of only updating the
  update_plan tool's in-memory state, which the model has no way to observe
  on its own.
- /resume now hydrates the destination session's own persisted plan file
  after a session switch, instead of leaving update_plan and the sticky
  panel empty until the next update_plan call risks overwriting it.
- formatPlanItems/parsePlanFileLines now indent multi-line Content
  continuations the same way Notes continuations already were, so
  agent-authored multi-line plan steps survive a round-trip through $EDITOR
  instead of shattering into bogus new pending steps.
- WritePlan now Chmods the plan directory and file unconditionally after
  MkdirAll/OpenFile, since those only apply their mode at creation and would
  otherwise leave a pre-existing, more permissive dir/file broadly readable.
- /plan open now checks plan mode is active before ensureActiveSession
  instead of after, so an invalid invocation doesn't leave a persistent
  empty session behind in /resume.
- StageForEditor rejects a staging directory that XDG_CONFIG_HOME has
  redirected into the sandbox's default-writable roots (the workspace or
  the OS temp directory) instead of silently staging somewhere a sandboxed
  process could symlink-swap.
- The staged file is created per invocation via os.CreateTemp: a random,
  unpredictable name opened with O_EXCL, so a planted path is refused
  rather than followed, and two Zero instances editing the same resumed
  session no longer overwrite each other's staged draft. Cleanup removes
  only the file this invocation created.
- Clearing every line in the editor now records an explicit plan-cleared
  user event in the session context, so the next run does not replay the
  discarded plan from the earlier update_plan call.
- $VISUAL/$EDITOR values are parsed with POSIX shell word-splitting
  (mvdan.cc/sh/v3/shell, already a dependency) instead of strings.Fields,
  so quoted executable paths with spaces and flags launch correctly.
- The /plan palette description says the literal "off" subcommand, and
  the help expectation matches.
…an state, lossless plan encoding

- The editor staging containment check now judges physical paths: the
  staging directory is created first, resolved with EvalSymlinks, checked
  against the symlink-resolved workspace and temp roots, and the staging
  itself is anchored on the resolved path. An XDG_CONFIG_HOME symlinked
  into a sandbox-writable root no longer passes on its lexical spelling.
- update_plan refuses to apply once its run context is cancelled, with the
  check sharing the mutex that guards SetPlan, so a cancelled run's late
  call can no longer repopulate the plan the UI just reset for a new
  session; the UI-side file sync also runs only on successful results, so
  a refused call cannot rewrite the old session's plan file either.
- The plan file encoding round-trips losslessly: indentation is decided
  before content (a continuation reading "2. validate" stays a
  continuation), continuations whose text would read as structure
  ("Notes:" or a leading backslash) are escaped, and whitespace-only
  indented lines survive as blank continuation lines. Round-trip tests
  cover the adversarial cases and assert a fixed point on the second pass.
…xisting ancestor

The macOS and Windows CI runners spell temp paths through symlinks
(/var -> /private/var) and 8.3 short names (RUNNER~1): a staging directory
that does not exist yet kept its lexical spelling while the existing roots
resolved to physical form, so the containment comparison silently missed.
physicalPath now resolves the deepest existing ancestor and rejoins the
remainder, giving both sides the same spelling.
The planEditorFinishedMsg handler reloaded the edited plan file into both
the update_plan tool and the sticky panel, but emitted no visible
confirmation, so a bare /plan open with no other change looked like a
no-op. Append a system message noting the reload (or a clear when the
edited file is empty), and cover the full Update message path with a test
asserting the tool state, panel, and transcript are all updated.
Three review findings:

- Unknown /plan subcommands (a typo like "openx", or "status") fell
  through the switch to the bare toggle and silently exited the
  read-only mode. They now return a usage error; only bare /plan
  toggles.

- WritePlan opened the plan path with O_TRUNC, destroying the previous
  durable plan before the new content landed, and followed a symlink
  that resolves inside the workspace — a planted
  .zero/plans/<slug>.md symlink would redirect plan mode's one allowed
  write over an arbitrary workspace file. It now refuses symlinked
  targets and writes an owner-only O_EXCL temporary sibling renamed
  into place.

- The update_plan result callback re-read the shared tool's
  CurrentPlan() after the call released its mutex, so a cancel plus
  /new or /resume in that window persisted the wrong session's plan (or
  an empty reset) under the old run's session ID. A successful call now
  carries its own plan snapshot in the result meta and the callback
  persists exactly that snapshot.

…ctive

Plan mode promises a read-only turn, but sessionStart/sessionEnd fire on
every run and beforeTool/afterTool fire around allowed read calls, and
all four execute configured host commands outside the advertised-tool
and sandbox gates — so a project hook could mutate the workspace or
spawn a process from a session that advertises it cannot. Gate all four
dispatch points on the run's permission mode, with a regression test
asserting no hook command launches during a plan-mode run.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Entering plan mode replaced options.SystemPrompt wholesale with
planmode.DraftSystemPrompt, discarding any embedder-configured system
prompt for the whole duration of plan mode. Layer the plan-mode
instructions onto the configured prompt instead, falling back to the
plain draft prompt when nothing was configured. Also chmod the
plan-edit staging directory unconditionally after MkdirAll, so a
pre-existing, loosely permissioned directory no longer undermines the
staging design's symlink-race protection.
Plan mode still suppresses executable hooks so a read-only planning turn
cannot spawn host processes via session or tool hooks. Spec-draft keeps
the existing trust model so trusted worktrees inherit trust under
--use-spec --worktree (TestExecSpecWorktreeInheritsTrustEndToEnd).

Also close two plan-mode advertisement gaps that Gitlawb#642 already fixed:
exclude process-spawning lsp_navigate, and require Safety metadata for
tools instead of a name-only ask_user/update_plan allowlist, with a
spoofed-name regression test.
update_plan is read-only and auto-allowed, but the TUI persisted every
successful call into .zero/plans under the workspace. Store durable
plans under the user config directory (scoped by workspace) so Ask mode
and plan mode no longer create workspace files without a write grant.

Also verify the editor staging directory is a plain owner-only dir
after chmod (reject group/world-writable or symlink paths), cover the
pre-existing permissive staging-dir case, and assert plan mode layers
DraftSystemPrompt onto a configured agent system prompt rather than
replacing it.
…ing checks

os.UserConfigDir (what config.UserConfigDir defers to outside darwin)
reads %AppData% on Windows and ignores XDG_CONFIG_HOME there, so tests
that only set XDG_CONFIG_HOME silently fail to isolate plan storage on
Windows and fall through to the runner's real profile directory. Set
AppData too wherever a test overrides the config root.

Also skip the new group/world-writable check in verifyPrivateDirectory
on Windows: NTFS reports a directory's POSIX mode via ACLs rather than
the bits os.Chmod sets, so the check rejected every staging directory
unconditionally and made /plan open never launch $EDITOR on Windows,
the same rationale already used to skip the file-mode assertion in
TestWritePlanUsesRestrictivePermissions.
slugify alone maps distinct session/workspace IDs that differ only by
separator (plan_a vs plan-a) onto the same path. pathKey appends a
SHA-256 suffix of the exact original string so durable plans stay
isolated across those collisions.

… by main

Both were thin unscoped wrappers around the Scoped variants, deleted
upstream in Gitlawb#706 since nothing else called them directly. Only this
branch's tests still did; switch to the Scoped calls main's own tests
already use.
Reset plan mode and in-memory plan state when entering a BTW side session so
/btw matches the /new and /resume session-switch guards. Move SetTempDirForTest
into export_test.go so cmd/zero no longer depends on testing. Drop the unused
model.program field. Clarify that plan mode suppresses lifecycle and afterTool
hooks only, while beforeTool still runs for fail-closed vetoes, and pin that
behavior with a regression test.
Block /plan inside /btw, re-sync parent plan on leaveBTW, fall back to
Ask when exitPlanMode has no prior mode, clear plan only after successful
/spec session create, and omit plan_snapshot from session tool events.

Refs Gitlawb#854
…load

Fail closed when the workspace root cannot be resolved for editor staging,
use a non-colliding blank-session pathKey sentinel, copy on SetPlan so
enforceSingleInProgress cannot mutate the caller, surface plan-file read
errors from the editor reload path, and tighten regression coverage for
workspace containment, StageForEditor, and plan_snapshot metadata.

Refs Gitlawb#854
…mode

Bind plan reads at open with O_NOFOLLOW on Unix, route StageForEditor through
the temp-dir test seam so CI staging privacy checks pass, surface durable plan
reload failures from /btw return and /resume, fix plan_command switch/lint
nits that fail CI, and pin afterTool suppression in plan mode.

Refs Gitlawb#854
Final-component O_NOFOLLOW left intermediate directory swaps able to

…mode

Delete the dead toolAdvertisedInSpecDraft/toolAdvertisedInPlan duplicates in
loop.go that were failing the unused-func lint gate; the real advertisement
gate already delegates to tools.ToolAdvertisedForPermissionMode. Wire
planEnterText into /plan on instead of leaving it dead, and drop the
ineffectual parts reassignment in the editor-quote test that make
lint-static was failing on.

Fix ntObjectPath to stop treating \?\ (extended-length) and \.\ (device)
path prefixes as UNC, which produced a malformed NT path and failed every
plan read for a user whose %AppData% resolves through one. Make the
non-Unix/non-Windows fallback reader fail closed instead of opening a file
through a validate-then-open symlink race it cannot close. Sweep staged plan
files left behind when a Bubble Tea shutdown drops the tea.ExecProcess
command before its cleanup callback runs.

Fix two tests that didn't reach the behavior they claimed to guard:
TestWritePlanRefusesIntermediateSymlink only ever hit the outer containment
pre-check, never the handle-relative writer's own symlink refusal, and
TestStageForEditorRejectsStagingInsideWorkspace's setup broke plan storage
before StageForEditor could reach the staging-specific check (plan storage
and staging both resolve through the same UserConfigDir, so pointing config
at the workspace fails ReadPlan first — verified by running the review's own
suggested fix, which still failed). Add isolatePlanConfig to the
session-switch test that touches the real machine's plan directory, and
align /plan help text with the parser's status|on|open|off subcommands.

Refs Gitlawb#854
…mlink

openat(..., O_DIRECTORY|O_NOFOLLOW) reports ENOTDIR, not ELOOP, when the
named component is a symlink on Linux and Darwin: the kernel never
dereferences it to see the O_DIRECTORY mismatch it would otherwise report.
isNoFollowErr only recognized ELOOP/EMLINK, so the no-follow walkers in both
openPlanUnderBase (read) and writePlanFile's writer fell through to a
generic, unclassified error on those platforms instead of the intended
symlink refusal. The write path's refusal still failed closed (no write
occurred), just under the wrong error text, which is what surfaced this: the
prior commit's tightened TestWritePlanRefusesIntermediateSymlink assertion
failed on the ubuntu-latest and macos-latest smoke jobs.

Add isSymlinkDisguisedAsENOTDIR, shared by both walkers, which disambiguates
ENOTDIR with a no-follow stat so a genuine non-symlink, non-directory
component (a plain file blocking the path) still reports its real error
instead of a false symlink claim.

Refs Gitlawb#854
…an file

On a fresh TUI, or after /new, the session ID stays empty until the first
prompt lazily creates it, and PlanFilePath maps an empty ID onto a single
shared no-session slug. Plan-mode entry therefore has to create the session
before it reports anything about the plan file, or the banner points every
fresh session at the same shared path.

TestPlanOpenCreatesSessionBeforeWritingPlanFile only reaches this through the
/plan open that follows entry, so entry on its own was untested, including
the banner now naming the session's plan file. Assert both that /plan on
creates the session and that the banner carries that session's own path and
not the no-session fallback.

Recovered from an abandoned worktree, then adapted: the original drove entry
with a bare /plan, which now reports status instead of entering plan mode.

Refs Gitlawb#854
The planEditorFinishedMsg handler appended a session event on every
successful editor exit. Opening the plan with /plan open, reading it, and
quitting without saving therefore wrote "I edited the plan file directly.
Updated plan: ..." into the session. That event is phrased as the user's own
words, so the next turn saw a statement the user never made, and each
repeated open restated the whole plan body into the session log again.

Capture the plan before reloadPlanFromFile replaces it, compare it with the
reloaded items, and return early when they match, skipping both the
transcript note and the session event. planItemsEqual compares content,
status, and notes but not ID: parsePlanFileLines rebuilds items from the file
text without preserving in-memory IDs, so comparing IDs would report every
reload as a change.

TestPlanEditorFinishedMsgNoOpEditRecordsNothing fails without the guard with
"an unchanged plan file must not record a session event: before=0 after=1".

Refs Gitlawb#854
…base

Every component under the storage base was opened no-follow, but the base
itself was opened by path and followed links. ensurePlanPathContained
resolves the base and the plan path through the same link, so a link at
${UserConfigDir}/zero/plans passed containment unless its target happened to
be the workspace or the temp directory. The handle-relative walk was then
simply rooted inside the target, so every read, create, and rename landed
there while each individual component check still passed.

Open the base with O_NOFOLLOW on Unix and OBJ_DONT_REPARSE on Windows, and
report it through errPlanBaseSymlink, which wraps the existing
errPlanSymlinkRefusal sentinel so ReadPlan surfaces it like any other symlink
refusal. O_NOFOLLOW applies to the final component only, so a legitimately
symlinked ~/.config above the storage root still works. The Windows change is
one attribute on the shared openWindowsBaseDir, which both walkers already
use, and it matches the flags every component-level open there already sets.

TestPlanStorageBaseSymlinkRefused replaces the storage root with a link and
requires both ReadPlan and WritePlan to refuse and the target to stay empty.
Without the fix it fails on Linux with "expected ReadPlan to refuse a
symlinked plan storage root", verified in a container.

…ment

editorStagingDirIsPrivate compares physical paths so a staging directory that
resolves into the workspace or the OS temp dir is refused, but physicalPath
resolved through filepath.EvalSymlinks, which hands a junction straight back:
os.Lstat maps one to ModeIrregular rather than ModeSymlink. A junction needs
no SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege, so it is the reparse point an unprivileged
process can actually plant, and the check the function documents did not hold
on the one platform where that matters.

Resolve through GetFinalPathNameByHandle on Windows instead, which asks the
filesystem what the handle resolved to and so accounts for every reparse type
at once; VOLUME_NAME_DOS also returns long names, subsuming the 8.3 short-name
normalization the comparison already needed. verifyPrivateDirectory now
rejects a reparse point explicitly rather than relying on its !IsDir test
firing by accident, which is why a junctioned staging directory was refused
with "is not a directory".

The Windows staging tests skip wherever directory-symlink creation is
privileged, which is why this went unnoticed; the new ones use the junction
helper the storage tests already rely on. Verified on NTFS: both containment
tests fail before this change and pass after it.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Plan mode now stores plans outside the workspace, supports secure editor round trips, carries typed plan snapshots, blocks mutating tools and continuations, and preserves plan state across sessions and BTW conversations. Tests cover Unix, Windows, cancellation, redaction, parsing, permissions, and race-resistant storage.

Changes

Secure plan storage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Durable plan files and editor staging
internal/planmode/*
Adds deterministic plan paths, durable read/write operations, secure editor staging, atomic replacement, stale-file cleanup, locking, and platform-specific symlink or reparse-point protection.

Session and continuation lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
BTW and session plan isolation
internal/tui/btw.go, internal/tui/session.go, internal/tui/spec_mode.go
Captures parent plans during BTW, restores them from durable storage or snapshots, resets plans on session changes, and clears plan state during spec-session transitions.
Loops, goals, and lifecycle tests
internal/tui/loop.go, internal/tui/goal.go, internal/tui/*_test.go
Pauses loops and goal continuations in plan mode, restores them on exit, preserves permission modes, and validates /new, /resume, /spec, and BTW behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 03418

Plan mode can retain stale durable plan data after a clear, and its edited-content and permission-mode transition behavior lacks conclusive regression coverage. These issues should be resolved before merging to avoid misleading plans or changed permission behavior across sessions.

Keep the synthetic fixture; do not rotate credentials. The test intentionally passes the ghp_... value through scrubResultSecrets and checks that PlanSnapshot and CurrentPlan preserve it. The repository has no scanner allowlist convention, so omit the inline-marker recommendation.

Use agent.PermissionModeAuto in both session-switch tests.

exitPlanMode falls back to Ask when no prior mode exists. With Ask as the input, an unconditional fallback still passes. Auto verifies that /new and /resume preserve the explicit non-Plan mode.

- Line 5881: Update planSnapshotFromResult and the updatePlanTool.Run result
handling to distinguish an absent PlanSnapshot from an intentionally empty one
returned for plan: []. Preserve the empty snapshot as valid so planUpdateMsg and
planmode.WritePlan clear the durable plan, while still rejecting results without
a snapshot. Add a regression test covering an empty-plan update and its
persisted clearing behavior.

Preserve literal leading backslashes in continuation lines.

unescapePlanContinuation removes the first \ from every continuation line. A user-edited line such as \src\file reloads as src\file, so the editor round trip changes plan content. Only remove prefixes emitted by escapePlanContinuation, and add a round-trip test for a literal leading backslash.

Assert the exact plan content.

strings.Contains can pass when the parser adds an extra leading backslash or other text. Compare the complete Content value with the expected multiline string in both checks.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Make these tests distinguish preservation from reset.

newModel already defaults permissionMode to agent.PermissionModeAuto. A reset to the constructor default would therefore still satisfy both assertions. Use a pre-transition value that differs from the default and the reset fallback, then assert that value after /new and /resume.
