FWIW I've seen subagents remain open for followups on latest Claude.
replyWill give it a try thanks for the heads up. Mind if I ask if you are referring to SendMessage?
I was testing on Claude code 2.1.196. SendMessage was not available. Skimming through their change log didn’t seem to have anything related to SendMessage. There is “ Fixed SendMessage silently misrouting when a re-spawned agent reuses a previous agent’s name — the tool now detects the mismatch and asks the caller to retarget” from 2.1.199. Not sure if they are related
replyI have no idea what things are called but somebody showed me how they could start a bunch of subagents and steer each with additional messages; some closed after their task was completed, but one stayed open for followups and continued working after being prompted by the main agent who was acting as triage.
