What

When a subagent tries to spawn another agent beyond the nesting depth cap, it now receives a clear error message explaining what happened and instructing it to complete the task directly.

Details
  • Error: "Subagent nesting limit reached (depth N of M). Complete this task directly using your tools instead of spawning another agent."
  • Previously this situation could fail silently or produce a confusing error
Evidence

New depth-cap error (search for "Subagent nesting limit reached")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
