What
A subagent is a helper agent that Claude starts to handle part of a task. When a subagent reaches its limit on turns, Claude Code adds a note to its result, and that note could include a hint to send the agent a message so it can continue.
That hint now depends on whether the caller is able to continue agents. When it cannot, the "Send the agent a message" hint is left out of the turn-limit note, and the notice shown when a subagent's handback is withheld is worded to match. Before, the hint depended only on the type of agent.
Why
A caller that has no way to message an agent is no longer told to do so, so the note only suggests next steps that can actually be taken.
