+Feature: Plan detection and inline commenting
+  When Claude Code is running in a terminal and a plan file exists in
+  the project's .claude/plans/ directory, the plan pane auto-appears
+  alongside the terminal with inline feedback commenting.
+
+  Background:
+    Given the terminal is ready
+
+  Scenario: Plan pane auto-appears when Claude has a plan file
+    Given a project directory with a plan file "dreamy-nebula"
+    When a Claude Code session is mocked in the project directory
+    Then the plan pane should be visible
+    And the plan pane should show the plan name "dreamy-nebula"
+    And there should be no page errors
+
+  Scenario: Plan pane shows sections from the plan file
+    Given a project directory with a structured plan file "arch-review"
+    When a Claude Code session is mocked in the project directory
+    Then the plan pane should show at least 2 sections
+    And there should be no page errors
+
+  Scenario: Adding feedback to a plan section
+    Given a project directory with a structured plan file "refactor-plan"
+    When a Claude Code session is mocked in the project directory
+    And I add feedback "Use the existing helper" to the first section
+    Then the plan file should contain feedback "Use the existing helper"
+    And there should be no page errors
+
+  Scenario: Plan pane disappears when Claude session ends
+    Given a project directory with a plan file "temp-plan"
+    When a Claude Code session is mocked in the project directory
+    Then the plan pane should be visible
+    When the Claude Code session ends
+    Then the plan pane should not be visible
+    And there should be no page errors
+
+  Scenario: New plan file detected while Claude is running
+    Given a project directory with no plan files
+    When a Claude Code session is mocked in the project directory
+    Then the plan pane should not be visible
+    When a new plan file "fresh-plan" is added to the project
+    Then the plan pane should be visible
+    And there should be no page errors
