    Claude code’s plan mode began its slow march towards deprecation when they hid the “clear context and implement” option behind a flag. From the discussion at that time it seemed that the developers considered it mostly a legacy feature, and that newer models are smart enough in long context not to need it.

      Wait, you can turn that back on? Where's the flag?

        The flag is:

            "showClearContextOnPlanAccept": true
        Boris rationale was "with 1m context window, most users don't need it anymore."
