Claude Code writes short progress summaries of what a subagent (a helper that works on part of a task) is doing. One mode builds those summaries from the whole conversation. Inside a claude.ai chat, Claude Code now skips that mode, because a claude.ai chat never sends the whole conversation. The only exception is when the mode was set by an override. Claude Code records the reason for skipping once.
Why
