claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug] Plan-mode-exit dialog ignores `permissions.defaultMode` setting

Bug Description Here's a copy-paste-ready feedback message:

Plan-mode-exit dialog should respect permissions.defaultMode instead of hardcoding "bypass permissions" as the default option.

When I exit plan mode (via ExitPlanMode), I'm shown:

1. Yes, and bypass permissions ← always highlighted
2. Yes, manually approve edits
3. No, refine with Ultraplan on Claude Code on the web
4. Tell Claude what to change

I have "permissions": { "defaultMode": "auto" } set in ~/.claude/settings.json. Auto mode is what I want as my default permission mode — that's the whole point of setting defaultMode. But every time I exit plan mode, the dialog ignores that setting and defaults to bypassPermissions, which is more permissive than what I've explicitly configured. I have to arrow down and pick the right option every single time.

Ask: Make the plan-exit dialog's default selection match the session's defaultMode (or the value of defaultMode at session start), rather than always bypassPermissions. Bonus: a dedicated setting like permissions.planExitDefault would also work.

This is mildly annoying on its own, but more importantly it nudges users toward a more permissive mode than they asked for, which seems like the wrong default from a safety standpoint.

Feel free to trim — the core ask is the first sentence and the paragraph starting with "Ask:".
