A Hidden Trap in Sub-Agent Orchestration
banteg · x · 2026-07-14
If you use sol as a sub-agent orchestrator, beware of a major pitfall:
- Even if you explicitly request the launch of the luna sub-agent, the default behavior might fork a conversation (forkturns: all), thereby blocking the model switch.
- To actually use another model, codex must override forkturns to none or a positive number when spawning the sub-agent.
- Currently, the sub-agent's model and reasoning effort are not displayed in the GUI, making this issue easy to overlook.
