This is a great new addition to clear the context before implementing, BUT - I have no idea how much context is left! Status line completely gone in plan mode.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Enter plan mode and make a plan.
What is the expected behavior?
I cannot decide without knowing how much is left / used.

This is working as intended today, so I don't think we'd consider this a bug. The plan-mode selection is displayed as an overlay, which overwrites the status line. This is done so the "Press enter" instructions can be displayed on the bottom line.
I'll change this from a bug report to a feature request to see if it gets additional upvotes.
Thanks, just feels super inconsistent especially when you rely on the context percentage marker a lot. Given it's offering me to clear the context, I'd like to certainly know what that is at the moment.
This feature request hasn't received enough upvotes, so I'm closing.
