What
Dynamic workflows (Claude Code's feature for running multi-step orchestrations) can be turned off in several ways. The documented list of causes now explicitly includes enableWorkflows: false being set by a settings layer above your own (such as an organization or managed policy), in addition to the existing disableWorkflows setting and the CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_WORKFLOWS environment variable.
Why
This clarifies that an admin-level enableWorkflows: false is now a recognized, explained reason workflows might be unavailable to you, rather than appearing unexplained.

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 enableWorkflows, on All settings.
