The flag is threaded through subagent spawn options so it can be set when a subagent is created.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis allows a subagent to be limited to centrally managed instructions only, excluding other instruction sources that might otherwise be picked up.\n\n- Area: Subagents\n- Names: `managedInstructionsOnly`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
