Unclear It is not clear what the removed condition was, so which situations now get short summaries is unknown.

What

A subagent is a helper Claude starts to work on part of a task. Claude Code writes short summaries of a subagent's progress. The short summary mode used to be skipped under one condition. That condition has been removed, so the short mode now applies whenever it is selected.

Why

This slightly changes which model writes the progress summaries for subagents.
