What

Output coming back from a subagent is scanned for text that imitates Claude Code's own internal message markers. A new marker name, slack-tag-message, is now on that list and gets escaped rather than passed through, closing one more prompt-injection route.

Details
  • Sits beside the existing slack-ping marker and is neutralized under the same control-tag handling.
  • Active wherever subagent output scanning runs; nothing in this build produces messages of that kind, so only the defensive half is present.
Evidence

slack-tag-message

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