Description

Feedback on the new Plan Mode UX:

The new Plan Mode UX makes reviewing and giving feedback very frustrating:

  1. Broken quote/comment workflow: When reviewing the plan in the right-side panel, I select the text I want to give feedback on, right-click, and choose "Quote". The text gets copied into the chat input box—but the chat box is completely covered and blocked by the multiple-choice buttons! I can't see the quoted text or type my comment.

  2. Accidental auto-approval: Because the input area is covered, clicking any option immediately auto-approves the plan, even though I was trying to provide feedback.

  3. Missing inline comments: Removing the previous inline commenting feature broke the entire review process.

Please bring back inline comments on the plan and ensure the chat input is never blocked by choice prompts.

Research direction

Start at the /chat entry point and reproduce Plan Mode review on macOS 26.6.2 with app version 1.1.17. Inspect the right-side plan panel, the Quote action, the chat input, and the multiple-choice prompts. Done means quoted text and feedback remain usable, prompts do not cover or auto-approve the input, and inline plan comments are restored or replaced with an equivalent review flow.
