When in plan mode, even simple questions like 'what is X?' triggered the full 5-phase plan workflow: creating a plan file, launching explore agents, and asking to execute. This is unnecessary overhead for non-coding questions. Added a 'Simple questions' bypass instruction to the plan mode system-reminder that tells the agent to answer directly as text when the user's message doesn't require code changes or implementation planning. Fixes XiaomiMiMo#531

Summary
When in plan mode, even simple questions like "what is X?" or "how does Y work?" triggered the full 5-phase plan workflow: creating a plan file, launching explore subagents, designing implementation, and asking the user whether to execute. This is unnecessary and annoying for non-coding questions.
Root Cause
The plan mode
<system-reminder>injected on the first user message unconditionally mandates the full 5-phase workflow with no escape hatch for simple Q&A.Fix
Added a "Simple questions" bypass instruction to the plan mode system-reminder. When the user's message is a simple question that doesn't require code changes, the agent is instructed to answer directly as text without creating a plan file, launching subagents, or calling plan_exit.
Before vs After
Before: Simple question in plan mode → creates plan file → launches explore agents → asks to execute
After: Simple question in plan mode → answers directly as text
Fixes #531
