plan-mode-orchestrator-write-deadlock

Your file editing attempts return a plan because plan mode prevents subagents from writing while an orchestrator hook forbids direct edits, creating a write deadlock. Both agent-side paths are blocked, so the system defaults to planning instead of executing.

To break a write deadlock between plan mode and an orchestrator hook, you must exit plan mode manually, then reissue the write command through the correct path. No agent-side retry can bypass this restriction.

A subagent cannot write to local files when plan mode is active because plan mode restricts subagent write permissions. If an orchestrator hook also blocks direct edits, both write paths are deadlocked and require user intervention.

While waiting to exit plan mode, you should complete read-only verification tasks so the write can succeed immediately once restrictions are lifted. Stop redundant write retries to avoid generating repeated planning responses.

An orchestrator hook prevents direct edits by the main thread, forcing writes through subagents. However, if plan mode is simultaneously active, subagents are also blocked, leaving no agent-side path for workflow updates.
