What probably matters to youSection of the release
An anti-over-delegation prompt section only appears when CLAUDE_CODE_THISTLE_GREBE or its flag selects counter_steer.
What
A "## Delegating to subagents" section tells Claude to handle small bounded sub-tasks inline, not to fan several subagents out on one small task, not to spawn one to double-check work it can verify itself, and to keep spawn counts low. It is only injected when the subagent steer resolves to "counter_steer". The steer is read from CLAUDE_CODE_THISTLE_GREBE, client data, the tengu_thistle_grebe flag, or a per-model floor, and defaults to "default", so the section is absent unless configured.
Nothing here resolved what this flag was doing on this version, so nothing here should be read as on or off.

These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.
Flag reading movedThe flag server now returns "default" for tengu_thistle_grebe, read as this account.A reading is one sample. Claude Code evaluates its flags remotely, so no client sees the targeting rule behind a value and this says nothing about your account.
