Sessions without a plan file are now handled:\n\n- A separate reminder is sent when there is no plan file path. It says the session has no plan file and asks Claude to give the plan as text in its reply rather than write it to a file. Sub-agents (helper agents Claude starts for part of a task) are told to give it in their final message.\n\n- The plan reference sent to Claude reads \"A plan exists from plan mode.\" instead of a path.\n\n- The plan reference shown on screen reads \"Plan referenced\" instead of \"Plan file referenced (...)\".\n\n- In some mode, the plan file path in a plan reference is now blanked, and a couple of other code paths behave differently. What that mode is was not established.\n\n**Why**\n\nIn sessions with no local disk, such as some remote sessions, plan mode no longer points Claude at a file that does not exist.\n\n- Area: Plan Mode\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
