问题描述 · Description

In ZCode Desktop, the Agent sometimes attempts to modify files or perform other write-related actions while the UI is still clearly in Plan Mode.

This happens without manually switching modes and without the Agent exiting Plan Mode first.

Since Plan Mode is expected to remain read-only until the plan is completed and the mode is explicitly exited, the Agent should not attempt Edit, Write, or other state-changing operations at this stage.

复现步骤 · Steps to reproduce

Open a project in ZCode Desktop.
Switch the Agent to Plan Mode.
Give it a task that will eventually require file modifications.
Let it inspect the project and prepare a plan.
Occasionally, before Plan Mode is exited, the Agent starts attempting file modifications or write-related operations while the UI still shows Plan Mode.

期望表现 · Expected behavior

While Plan Mode is active, the Agent should:

remain read-only;
inspect and analyze the project;
produce or refine the implementation plan;
avoid all file modifications and other state-changing operations;
exit Plan Mode before starting implementation.

实际表现 · Actual behavior

The Agent occasionally behaves as if it has already entered execution mode and attempts to modify files even though:

the UI still shows Plan Mode;
no manual mode switch occurred;
Plan Mode was not explicitly exited.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in ZCode Desktop on Windows 10 with Plan Mode enabled and a task that eventually requires file changes. Trace the transition from Plan Mode to execution and the write-related actions; done means the Agent remains read-only until Plan Mode is explicitly exited.
