Plan mode's stage 1 (RFC 2026-07-07-plan-mode): a new packages/mode/ group
with one product package owning the mode/set SessionEventMap vocabulary
(log-only, non-surface, whole-value replace), the pure foldMode, and the
ctx.modes service (list/get/set). User flips are pending intents flushed
at turn/start / step/end — turn enclosure makes an idle append illegal —
with one coalesced context/message notice when the flushed mode differs
from what the last logged request header told the model; a folded mode
the config no longer defines reads as default plus one boundary notice.
Enforcement is two covering layers: a system-prompt/assemble wrapper
filters the RETURNED assembly's tools to the mode's allowlist (and shows
exit_plan_mode IFF the folded mode is plan) beside the mode:policy
section at order 50, and a tools/pre-execute gate denies deny-by-default
against the same allowlist, judging by the logged mode only. The default
mode is the absence of policy — assemblies stay byte-identical to a
no-dsh-mode deployment.
AgentOptions.mode (declaration-merged) seeds a child's initial mode
through the same flush on agent/created; the stdio app gains /mode
(print/switch, never sent to the model) over an opportunistic
ctx.get('modes'). Config is an explicit resolve step: the built-in plan
definition (read-only allowlist; bash/subagent excluded until the
sandbox family lands) merges unless overridden, 'default' as a key
throws at load, unknown names throw at set() time.

# mode/ — session-mode policy family
|
|
|
|
Session modes: named, logged, per-agent policy states, with **plan mode** as the first shipped definition. A single **product** package — there is no interface/implementation seam here, because a mode's variable parts are config values (allowlist, section text), not swappable implementations.

| Package | Role | ctx key |

| `mode/` | `mode/set` vocabulary + fold, the `ctx.modes` service (list/get/set with the turn-boundary flush), the soft layer (assemble filter + `mode:policy` section) and the hard layer (`tools/pre-execute` deny-by-default gate) | `ctx.modes` |

The mode in force is a pure function of the session log (`SessionEventMap['mode/set']`, last one wins), so resume and fork restore it with no extra machinery; the default mode is the absence of policy, keeping the plugin invisible until a mode is set. UIs read flips off `session/event`: the [stdio app](../ui/stdio-agent) exposes `/mode`, the [ACP bridge](../ui/acp) maps the vocabulary to the session-mode picker. RFC: [plan mode](../../docs/rfc/proposed/feature/2026-07-07-plan-mode.md).
