    @simonw I've been using the tip you shared recently on having Claude use subagents and it's really helpful! Just accidentally discovered a necessary addition to it: "A subagent should always execute directly on a task. It should not create further sub-agents."
     Type: bug
▎ Title: Subagent recursively spawned sub-subagents that relay-wait on each other
▎ Failure mode: subagent_overspawn
▎ Task category: other
▎
▎ What happened: A general-purpose subagent (sonnet) tasked with an end-to-end chart pipeline spawned its own sub-agents for the data-pull step instead of running it directly, and those spawned further agents. Successive task notifications delivered only relay/wait states ("I've asked the subagent... I'll wait", "I sent the original investigating agent a follow-up... I'll wait"), three levels deep, while the parent idled. Earlier in the session a different subagent given the same kind of task stalled the same way ("Still waiting on both agents to finish and report") and had to be killed after ~140k tokens with no report.
