The real reason why plan mode is dead is because you can just conversationally instruct the agent to not make changes to the repository or to make changes to selected documents only, and it will listen. There was a time when we needed to enforce this via selected tool use, but we have surpassed that.
Do you really trust it with a production code base or database? Telling it not to make changes feels an awful lot like "Make no mistakes". I also like how Plan mode on Codex asks clarifying questions. I'm in management now so I've used Work more than Code lately.
