What
A subagent is a helper agent Claude starts to handle part of a task. When safety safeguards stop a subagent, Claude Code can show "Safeguards stopped this agent, and automatic model switching is off."
That message now appears only when both of these hold:
the model that refused is known
falling back to another model is not available
Why
The message is shown in fewer cases where it would not be accurate.
