What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
Version 26.707.72221
What subscription do you have?
Pro
What platform is your computer?
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0 x64
What issue are you seeing?
When launching subagents, the parent model is launching subagents as itself i.e. if 5.6 Sol is launching subagents it launches multiple subagents as 5.6 Sol even when directed not to do so. This results in a massive usage consumption loss up to 10% at times in this subscription tier.
The consumption these models are utilizing needs to be addressed, considering the immense cost versus output may be completely lost here.
What steps can reproduce the bug?

What is the expected behavior?
Subagents should be separate and distinct from the parent model.
