Ah whoops. Computers can have accidents now

I was using Claude to set up dotfile syncing before provisioning a new machine, and during the session I got this:

Whoops, nothing to see here

> Updated plan
User rejected Claude's plan:
Plan: Exit accidental plan mode

Plan mode was triggered accidentally mid-conversation. 
No implementation task is being planned. Simply exit plan 
mode and continue the planning session with the user.

This is a very human sort of “accident”. The idea of software doing something relatably and accidentally in 2026 is pretty striking. A few years ago this would have been fiction.
