Description
Sub-sessions triggered by a parent session in plan mode no longer respect the "Plan approval" gate. Instead, agents automatically start implementation.
This seem a natural behaviour for sub-sessions, as they are managed by a parent session. However, it is weird to have the plan mode ask for user confirmation while the session is already working on the implementation.
Idea: Include a flag on which parent sessions can allow plan auto-approve. If "true", sessions started in plan mode are automatically approved (no user prompt) and continue with the recommended implementation mode. If "false", the child session will stop and wait of human review/approval of the plan.

Research direction
The issue names the parent-session plan-approval flow and the sub-session creation path, but no files or tests. Start by tracing how child sessions handle plan approval; done means a parent-controlled setting determines whether child plans auto-approve or wait for human review, with coverage for both choices.
