Plans don’t open in Plannotator: Kiro has no hooks Plannotator can use. Call the review and annotate skills yourself.
plannotator inbox says it couldn’t connect Kiro: It prints why and tries again the next time you run it. To connect it now follow Connect the Inbox yourself under Other ways.
Your reply never shows up in the session on its own: Nothing can wake Kiro: it sees a reply when it reads the thread. Tell it to check the Inbox.
