Claude Code Subagents That Hit maxTurns No Longer Look Like They Finished
In 2.1.246 (2026-08-26): "a subagent that stops at its maxTurns limit now returns its output marked as partial, with a hint to continue it via SendMessage, instead of appearing finished." If you orchestrate fan-out work and aggregate subagent returns, every truncated agent up to now was silently indistinguishable from a complete one, which quietly caps coverage in exactly the runs that needed the most turns. Anyone with a multi-agent harness should re-check results from long-running subagents rather than assume the old aggregates were whole.
