What
A subagent is a helper that Claude Code starts to handle part of a task. Some types of subagent are shown under a special name. Claude Code's code for choosing a subagent's display name now has an option that, when turned on, skips this special name. The option is off by default, so names show as before unless a part of Claude Code turns it on.
Why
This is a small change to how subagent names can appear on screen.
