Workflow run IDs now use a dedicated ID format with their own telemetry hashing path

What

Workflow run IDs now follow a specific recognizable shape (a wf_ prefix followed by hex characters). Internally, IDs matching this shape are now hashed and redacted differently from other custom identifiers before being included in telemetry data.

Why

This is an internal bookkeeping change affecting how workflow run identifiers are anonymized before being sent in telemetry; it doesn't change what you see or do when using workflows.

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up wf_, on Monitoring. | `workflow.run_id` | Run identifier of the [Workflow](/docs/en/workflows) tool run that spawned this agent, prefixed `wf_`. Absent for agents not spawned by a workflow | | monitoring-usage see the edit
