Why use a new context? Or you mean, just accept the plan and it automatically clears the context.

Recently, Claude gives you these options when asking you to accept a plan:

  Would you like to proceed?

  > 1. Yes, clear context and auto-accept edits (shift+tab)
    2. Yes, auto-accept edits
    3. Yes, manually approve edits
    4. Type here to tell Claude what to change

So the default is to do it in a new context.

If you examine what this actually does, it clears the context, and then says "here's the plan", points to the plan file, and also points to the logs of the previous discussion so that if it determines it should go back and look at them, it can.

Yes, its basically another way to compact context, means it there is less chance start compacting part way through the plan.

Yes sorry, CC does it, then rereads all the files from scratch with the plan in mind.
