After entering plan mode via Shift+Tab and having Claude present a plan, the approval dialog does not include an option to clear the planning context before executing. This option was previously available (or is documented as available) but does not appear in the current UI.

Description

After entering plan mode via Shift+Tab and having Claude present a plan, the approval dialog does not include an option to clear the planning context before executing. This option was previously available (or is documented as available) but does not appear in the current UI.

Environment

  • Claude Code version: latest
  • Platform: Windows 11
  • Interface: CLI (terminal)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Press Shift+Tab to enter plan mode
  2. Type a prompt and let Claude explore/plan
  3. Review the plan approval dialog

Expected Behavior

Each approval option should offer a "clear planning context first" step before execution begins — keeping the execution context clean by discarding the exploration phase.

Actual Behavior

The approval dialog presents execution options but no "clear context" variant is shown.

Notes

This may have been quietly removed, gated behind a flag, or only available on specific platforms/versions. The docs reference this behavior but it doesn't match what's seen in the live product.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The "clear planning context" option is missing from the approval dialog, suggesting a potential discrepancy between the documented behavior and the current implementation.

Guidance

  • Review the documentation to confirm if the "clear planning context" option is indeed supposed to be available in the current version and platform.
  • Check if there are any hidden flags or settings that might enable this option, as hinted in the notes.
  • Verify if this option is available on other platforms or versions to determine if it's a platform-specific issue.
  • Consider reaching out to the development team or checking the changelog to see if this feature was intentionally removed or deprecated.

Notes

The solution to this issue may depend on the specific implementation details of Claude and its documentation, which are not fully provided in the issue description.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Check the documentation and changelog for any information about the "clear planning context" option, and consider reaching out to the development team for clarification.
