Exiting plan mode no longer offers to show the plan as an artifact before running it

What

Previously, when Claude finished writing a plan, it could ask "Claude has written up a plan. Would you like to review it as an artifact first?" before moving on. That step has been removed: exiting plan mode now goes straight to the confirmation prompt asking whether to execute the plan.

Why

This simplifies the plan-review flow to one fewer step, though it means the option to view the plan as a separate artifact document first is no longer offered here.
