+
+`maxConcurrentSubagents` is captured when a parent session starts. Positive values bound that session's running children while additional work waits for a slot. A value of `0` starts the parent without the `subagent` tool and adds explicit system-prompt guidance to perform normally delegated work itself. Changing the persistent value does not retrofit an already-running parent session. The separate `tasks` input limit remains eight items per parallel call.
 
 When you launch background subagents, the parent agent keeps working and returns control to you while subagents run. The guardrail pauses the parent after `parentTurnLimit` turns so it doesn't spin ahead of results — when this happens, dreb surfaces a friendly, non-error notification in the TUI and Telegram explaining that background agents are still working and the parent paused intentionally (it resumes when they report back, or you can send a message to steer it).
