What
When your machine announces newer local changes and then drops off before uploading them, a new message tells the model the current turn is running on stale files and that the changes will arrive in a later turn. A second new warning tells you that dynamic workflows can burn through tokens by running subagents in parallel, pointing at /workflows and /config.
Details
- The stale-files note is system-facing, meant to stop the model from acting as if it has the latest edits.
- The usage warning names
/workflowsand/configas where to look.
Evidence
the changes arrive at a later turn once the machine is back.
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
