After a restart, Claude Code tells the model what happened to such agents. Those notices used to always say to continue the agent with `SendMessage`. When the agent cannot be continued, they now suggest launching it again or retrieving its report instead. Related wording covers an agent that could not be restarted automatically and a report that cannot be retrieved from this session.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe model is no longer pointed at a step that cannot succeed after a restart.\n\n- Area: Subagents\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
