What
In an agent team, several Claude agents called teammates work under a lead agent. Plan mode is a mode where an agent plans before it makes changes. When a teammate tries to leave plan mode, Claude Code now looks at that teammate's task:
If the task cannot be found, plan mode is not exited, and the teammate is told: "This teammate's task could not be found, so plan mode was not exited. Ask the lead to approve your plan."
If the task is still in plan mode, or the task requires a plan, the plan goes to the lead for approval.
Before, approval depended on a general check of whether the agent was in a team. A teammate leaving plan mode also no longer changes the shared tool permission mode.
Why
One teammate leaving plan mode can no longer change permissions for everyone else, and a teammate cannot leave plan mode without the lead seeing the plan.
