Description
Code blocks rendered inside plan output don't have syntax highlighting. They render as plain monospace text, making longer snippets hard to scan.
Agent-rendered code blocks already get syntax highlighting (per #1050), so the plan output renderer is the gap.

Research direction
Start by locating the plan output renderer and compare how it handles code blocks with the agent-rendered code-block path referenced in #1050. Confirm the relevant rendering behavior in the UI, then update the plan output path so its code blocks receive syntax highlighting like agent-rendered blocks.
