What
A subagent is a helper agent that Claude Code starts to work on part of a task. The subagentStatusLine setting used to let you show your own line for each subagent row in the agent panel. It is now marked deprecated and has no effect: subagent rows always use the default look. If the value cannot be read, Claude Code ignores the error and does not report it.
The description of enabledPlugins is clearer too. Only true turns on a marketplace plugin. A list of versions is accepted, but the plugin stays off.
Why
If you set up a custom subagent status line, it stops working without any error message. If you gave a plugin a list of versions in enabledPlugins, that plugin is not on.
