This is the gas pressure in the cylinder at the start of the ascent
phase? This is a meaningful request but would require another selection
to be made in the planner (gas turn rule). This is something that I use
all the time in dive planning.

what would that mean for the planner? Except for recreational mode, the planner always starts the ascent at the end of the manually entered waypoints. Would you want to say something like “go to 80m and then figure out the pressure at which you have to leave 80m so you and your buddy make it to the surface with x bars remaining”?

Robert,

Correct.

Of course, actually, I commonly dive 230 bar and start the ascent at around 90-95 bar, using thirds. So the 77 bars accurately constituting a third is really a bare minimum and it is affected by deco obligations. But a message indicating "Ascent back gas pressure = 90 bar, i.e. within rule-of-thirds pressure (77 bar)" would be helpful. It is an additional bit of safety information that checks the accuracy of the deep section of the overall dive planning outside of Subsurface. Does this make any sense?
Kind regards,
willem
