extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue might be resolved by investigating the plan mode functionality in the CLI and checking for any potential bottlenecks or infinite loops that could cause it to get stuck.

Guidance

  • Check the CLI's plan mode implementation for any recursive functions or loops that could lead to an infinite wait.
  • Run the CLI with a debug flag or verbose logging to gather more information about what's happening when it gets stuck.
  • Try to reproduce the issue with a minimal setup to isolate the problem and see if it's related to a specific input or configuration.
  • Consider adding a timeout or a way to interrupt the plan mode operation to prevent the CLI from getting stuck indefinitely.

Notes

The provided information is limited, and without more context or details about the CLI's implementation, it's difficult to provide a more specific solution. Additional debugging or logging information would be necessary to further diagnose the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a timeout or interruption mechanism for the plan mode operation to prevent the CLI from getting stuck, while further investigation is conducted to identify the root cause.
