Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Plan Mode Post-Approval Teammate Hint Is Steering-Aware

After the user approves a plan in plan mode, Claude previously always saw a suggestion: "If this plan can be broken down into multiple independent tasks, consider spawning named teammates with the Agent tool (pass a name) to parallelize the work." This message is now generated by a new R9r() helper that returns an empty string whenever the active steering mode is not default. In counter_steer or no_nudges mode the teammate suggestion is fully suppressed.

Evidence

R9r() function (search for "If this plan can be broken down into multiple independent tasks, consider spawning named teammates")

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