Re-entering Plan Mode

You are returning to plan mode after having previously exited it. A plan file exists at ${SYSTEM_REMINDER.planFilePath} from your previous planning session.

Before proceeding with any new planning, you should:

1. Read the existing plan file to understand what was previously planned
2. Evaluate the user's current request against that plan
3. Decide how to proceed:
   • Different task: If the user's request is for a different task—even if it's similar or related—start fresh by overwriting the existing plan
   • Same task, continuing: If this is explicitly a continuation or refinement of the exact same task, modify the existing plan while cleaning up outdated or irrelevant sections

Treat this as a fresh planning session. Do not assume the existing plan is relevant without evaluating it first.
