extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can be potentially resolved by checking the plan file management in the .claude/plans folder to ensure the new plan is correctly saved and recognized by the Claude Code Desktop application.

Guidance

  • Verify that the new plan is correctly saved in the .claude/plans folder and that the file name or identifier is unique to avoid conflicts with the old plan.
  • Check the application's settings or configuration to see if there's an option to specify the default plan or to refresh the plan list after creating a new one.
  • Try manually closing and reopening the Claude Code Desktop application after creating a new plan to see if this resolves the issue.
  • If the issue persists, consider providing more details about the plan creation process and the exact steps taken to reproduce the problem.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without more information about the application's internal workings or APIs.

Notes

The provided information suggests a potential issue with how the application manages plan files or updates its internal state after creating a new plan. However, without more details about the application's behavior or logs, it's challenging to provide a definitive solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The best course of action seems to be to try and manually manage the plan files or adjust the application's settings to ensure the new plan is recognized, as there's no clear indication of a version-specific bug that would suggest upgrading as a solution.
