What

In auto mode, Claude Code uses a classifier (a model that reviews actions) to decide whether something is safe to do without asking you. A subagent is a helper agent Claude starts to work on part of a task.

When the classifier cannot check a subagent's prompt, the subagent is now not started. The reason given says the conversation may be too long, or to try again in a few minutes.

The warning shown when a subagent's output is passed on without review has new wording. Which warning appears now depends on the environment variable CLAUDE_CODE_USER_DELEGATED_SESSION_DIRECT_API.

Why

In auto mode, starting a subagent can now fail when the classifier is down, so you may need to retry.
