Research direction

Trace the conductor track-creation workflow, including the shell call that enters Gemini plan mode and the handover back to gemini-cli. Examine how the generated track.md file is detected after plan mode exits; done means the current session proceeds without prompting to update or create the track again.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In gemini-cli 0.33.1 and conductor 0.4.1, the track creation workflow includes a redundant prompt loop after exiting plan mode. When a new track starts, conductor enters Gemini plan mode via a shell call to gather information and generate the track.md file. This works as intended, but once control returns to the main gemini-cli environment, the CLI detects the newly created file and treats it as an existing track. It then prompts the user to either update the track or create a new one, which adds an unnecessary step to the process. The handover logic needs refinement so that gemini-cli recognizes the file generated during plan mode as part of the current session and proceeds without additional confirmation.
