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.\n\nThe description of `enabledPlugins` is clearer too. Only `true` turns on a marketplace plugin. A list of versions is accepted, but the plugin stays off.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf 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.\n\n- Area: Settings\n- Names: `subagentStatusLine`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: yes"}
