Plan mode can be restored by reading the transcript

Resuming a session can now re-enter plan mode by reading your transcript, and this is on by default.

What

Resuming a session could previously only restore plan mode from a value the previous run recorded. A new path instead scans the transcript backwards for plan markers, ExitPlanMode tool calls and plan-mode user turns, classifies the session as still in a plan, exited, or neither, and re-enters plan mode when a plan is open and no recorded mode exists. It is controlled by the tengu_tranquil_fern gate, which defaults to on when no server value is present.

Details
  • Applies only when a --sdk-url is used, or when no permission mode was given on the command line; never when forking a session.
  • Tool results that begin with the team-lead submission message, or that carry an awaiting-leader-approval marker, count as still in plan.
  • When it fires, the restore source is recorded as "transcript" rather than the previous run's recorded mode.
  • A second latch condition sits alongside the gate, and what it tracks is not determinable from this code path.
