What
Plan mode lets Claude plan before making changes. bypassPermissions mode lets Claude act without asking for permission. If you entered plan mode from bypassPermissions, leaving plan mode now checks that bypassPermissions is still allowed. If it is not, Claude Code switches to default mode and shows a warning. Before, it went straight back to the earlier mode, with a fallback only for auto mode.
Why
If a policy turns off bypass mode while you are planning, leaving plan mode no longer gets around that policy.
