opusplan is in the picker and does nothing on this install: it is a per-MODE model switch (Opus while in
plan mode, Sonnet at rest — the CLI's own strings call them the upgrade and resting models), and
claude-manager hardcodes permissionMode: 'bypassPermissions', so plan mode is never entered. Not
orchestration, which is what the name suggests and what we both assumed.
Making the mode reachable is the fix. setPermissionMode is a control request on the live query, same channel
as the setModel that landed in 4c24df93, so the mechanism is proven. The hard part is ExitPlanMode: it is a
permission decision, and bypassPermissions auto-approves it, so a naive toggle produces a planner that
instantly approves its own plan. canUseTool is the hook, and whether it can be supplied after session
creation is the one thing to verify before designing any UI.
Records the landmines too — bypassPermissions is deliberate per CLAUDE.md and must be restored on exit, and
a canUseTool promise that never resolves wedges the turn.
`createMessageHandler` is built per turn, so `transcriptId` started null on every one — and
`applyModelChange` runs before the turn emits anything, so the `model:switched` it produces arrived while
there was nothing to key the row on. A resumed conversation therefore recorded its model only on the closing
`result`, and a turn that died took the switch with it.
Observed rather than reasoned: the sidecar log said `claude-code/fable -> claude-code/opus[1m]` while the
stored row still said `claude-code/opus`.
Seeded from the resume id, which the Claude path already has in scope for the spawn. A brand-new
conversation still waits for `session:claude` — it has no id yet by definition — but resumed is the case
where switching actually happens.
Also lands docs/chat-sessions-list.md: the plan of record for the sessions-list revamp, agreed with the owner
today. Six numbered targets, four decisions with their reasoning, and the landmines — chiefly that merging
the two left-column panels strands `chat-live` in every persisted layout, which is the same stale-appType
shape that made /offscale render three server pickers this morning (ed3806f9). Written down because the shape
came out of a conversation, not out of the code.
