Description

1) have CLI form a plan -- possibly a long and detailed plan after careful investigation
2) either accept the plan, or offer more info (last option) to recreate plan.

-->
The CLI continues as appropriate, but the plan text vanishes from the terminal scroll back buffer. I have Ctrl-t on, so I should see everything -- and most of what I do see (internal thinking) is far less interesting than the plan. I want to see the plan because

1) I can refer to it while its working without finding and opening the correct plan.md
2) it gives me confidence that it hasn't lost that valuable analysis - and hasn't lost my hopefully valuable commentary that I rejected the plan with
3) I can compare a second iteration of the plan it offers against the last one it presented.

I do not mind whether I have to have Ctrl-t on to see it, but I think it should not need that on, becuase this is "user focused" text.

What I don't know -- whether this is being hidden because it causes confusion to the agent because if its in the context? What I do know is the UX is not as good for it being hidden.
