Unclear What the new admission step checks before a workflow agent starts is not known.
What
Agents started by a workflow (a multi-step task Claude Code runs on your behalf) have changed in three ways:
they go through an admission step before they start
they follow changes to the model they are using during a run, instead of keeping the model chosen when they were started
rate-limit errors from them now say which model was in use
Why
When a workflow agent switches model partway through, for example to a fallback model, usage and rate-limit errors are tied to the model that was actually used.
