What

When Claude Code spawns a subagent (a separate agent instance handling part of a task), the internal result data for that launch can now include a sharesCwd: true field. A working directory (cwd) is the folder a process treats as its base location for file paths. This field appears in both the synchronous and asynchronous versions of the subagent-launch result.

Why

This lets the system record and distinguish cases where a subagent operates in the same working directory as the agent that launched it, rather than a separate one.
