SelectMode

Remarks

The mode that has to exist for the others to be leaveable, and it does nothing. That is the point. Doc 20's A1 asks for IEditorMode to ship with one mode so that the seam is proven and nothing depends on the mode set being final; this is that mode, and every member of it is the neutral answer — no context, no panel, no toolbar, and no claim on any input at all.

⚠ Which is why entering it is the same as the editor having no modes. A viewport in Select mode behaves exactly as the viewport did before modes existed: 1..9 are the view bookmarks, a click picks an entity, and the gizmo has the drag. Any other arrangement would mean the shipped editor's behaviour depended on a feature it does not use yet.

It lives here rather than in an application because it is the definition of "no mode" and every host of this shell that has a viewport wants the same one.
