Unclear When this restriction is switched on is not known.

What

Claude Code can run several agents, separate Claude workers that each handle part of a job, and they can send each other messages. A new restricted mode allows only plain text messages, and only to agents of the same session or to the main agent. Claude is told that "a message here goes only to an agent of the same session".

Why

Where this mode applies, messages cannot be sent across sessions.
