The same 2.1.243 release lets API-key and cloud-provider users hold a 1-hour prompt cache on the main conversation while subagents stay at the 5-minute default (Releasebot). That split is right for orchestration patterns where a long-lived parent context is expensive to rebuild but short-lived fan-out subagents would only pay the 1-hour cache-write premium without ever reusing it. A modelPricing managed setting also lets an organization's contracted rates feed /cost, the status line and telemetry instead of list price.
