Summary
Qwen Code merged PR #6138 on July 2, 2026, making plan-required spawned agents wait for team leader approval before executing while still allowing read-only investigation. The change strengthens control over multi-agent execution in the CLI's teammate model.
What changed
Merged PR #6138 added leader approval gating for plan-required teammates, separating read-only investigation from execution by spawned agents.
Why it matters
As coding CLIs add subagents and teammate-style workflows, failure modes increasingly come from agents acting before a human or lead agent has accepted the plan. This change is a concrete guardrail for multi-agent delegation: agents can gather context, but execution waits for explicit approval.
