What changed

• Added a code key to the Claude apps gateway's managed.policies[]: the same settings as cli, also applied in Claude Desktop's Code tab; beside desktop, it turns on Claude Desktop's gateway mode
• Added autoCompactWindow to subagent frontmatter and --agents definitions, so a subagent can auto-compact earlier than the main conversation's window
• Added CLAUDECODEWORKFLOWSUBAGENTMODEL to run every workflow agent on one model while other subagents keep theirs
• Added CLAUDECODEOVERLOADEDRETRYMAXDELAYMS environment variable to set a longer maximum delay for the backoff when retrying an overloaded (529) request
• Added a note in /plugin on a plugin whose hooks are left out because another enabled plugin has the same name
• Added an allowlarge option to the Read tool so Claude can read a text file past the usual size limits in one call when it needs the whole file and the context has room
• Fixed managed-settings PreToolUse hooks that deny a tool call with "continue": false, and managed prompt hooks that block one, refusing the call but not ending the turn
• Fixed PostToolUse hooks in managed settings not applying updatedMCPToolOutput in some sessions
