# Plan Editor Task-Switch Stability Requirements
## Overview
The Plan panel can remain open while a user selects another task. The UI system
owns the editor and search-control lifecycle during that task change. The tasks
system continues to own plan data and task selection.
## Terminology
- **Available plan editor:** The mounted editor for the selected task that can
accept plan-search actions.
- **Plan-search action:** A query update, query clear, next-match action, or
previous-match action from the Plan panel.
## Requirements
### REQ-UI-PLAN-EDITOR-TASK-SWITCH-001: Stable editor replacement
**Intent:** Keep task navigation usable while Kandev replaces the plan editor.
**User story:** As a Kandev user, I want to switch tasks while the Plan panel is
open, so that an outgoing editor cannot break the selected task page.
#### Acceptance criteria
- **AC-UI-PLAN-EDITOR-TASK-SWITCH-001.1:** When a user selects another task
while the Plan panel is mounted, the selected task page shall remain usable.
- **AC-UI-PLAN-EDITOR-TASK-SWITCH-001.2:** During editor replacement, a
plan-search action shall run only against the available plan editor.
- **AC-UI-PLAN-EDITOR-TASK-SWITCH-001.3:** If no plan editor is available, a
plan-search action shall not cause the task page to show its recovery screen.
- **AC-UI-PLAN-EDITOR-TASK-SWITCH-001.4:** After the selected task editor is
available, plan search shall update queries and navigate matches in that
editor.
- **AC-UI-PLAN-EDITOR-TASK-SWITCH-001.5:** A plan-comment command shall run
only against the available plan editor.
## Out of scope
- Changing task selection, plan persistence, or saved Dockview layouts.
- Changing Plan panel layout, touch controls, or responsive composition.
- Changing the route error boundary or its recovery screen.
- Changing optional voice services or analytics scripts.
