A new "Dynamic workflow size" option is available in the /config menu, letting users set a persistent default scale for workflow agent counts (unrestricted / small / medium / large).
Usage
/config → Dynamic workflow size → [unrestricted | small | medium | large]
Details
The guideline is injected into each workflow turn so the model follows it without requiring repeated prompting
Changes mid-session emit a context message: "The user changed their workflow size guideline in /config: [size]."
Removing the setting emits: "The user removed their workflow size guideline in /config — workflow size is unrestricted again."
Two new tips are registered to teach users about the feature:
workflow-size-prompting — shown in explicit workflow contexts, suggests "use a small workflow, 5 agents max" and mentions /config
workflow-size-prompting-ambient — shown in other contexts, suggests "use at most 5 agents"
Prompting inline still works and overrides the setting: "use a small workflow, 5 agents max"
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
