What probably matters to you Section of the release
What
Two separate checks were folded into one resolver returning "none" when CLAUDE_AGENT_SDK_DISABLE_BUILTIN_AGENTS is set in a non-interactive session, "coordinator" in coordinator mode, and "default" otherwise. The env var behaves as before.
Evidence
CLAUDE_AGENT_SDK_DISABLE_BUILTIN_AGENTS
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.

Names in this entry
env CLAUDE_AGENT_SDK_DISABLE_BUILTIN_AGENTS Set to 1 to disable all built-in subagent types such as Explore and Plan. Only applies in non-interactive mode (the -p flag). Useful for SDK users who want a blank slate. This also removes general-purpose, the subagent Claude Code runs when an Agent tool call omits subagent_type. Such a call then fails with subagent_type is required
