Claude Code can give a subagent a note about its budget, controlled by a server setting or by the `CLAUDE_CODE_STREAMED_BUMBLEBEE` environment variable (a value you set in your shell before starting Claude Code).\n\nThe wording of that note can now be replaced. A server setting can supply it, or you can set `CLAUDE_CODE_STREAMED_BUMBLEBEE_TEXT`. If the value is a non-empty string, it is used instead of the default wording, and any `{N}` in it is replaced by the budget.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe note's wording can now be changed by a server setting or an environment variable instead of waiting for a new release of Claude Code.\n\n- Area: Subagents\n- Names: `CLAUDE_CODE_STREAMED_BUMBLEBEE`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
