Type of change
What does this PR do?
Adding
"task": "allow"to the global permission block silently enables infinite subagent recursion. There's no depth limit — I hit 10 levels of nesting and 3+ hours of runaway token usage before noticing.The root cause is in
task.ts— the nesting guard checks for explicittaskpermission rules, and a global"task": "allow"propagates to all agents including subagents, overriding the guard. The default"*": "allow"does NOT trigger this, so users don't expect adding an explicittaskkey to have this effect.This PR adds warnings to three docs pages:
:::cautioncallout after thepermission.tasksection showing safe vs unsafe patterns and explaining whysteps/doom_loopdon't helptaskentry pointing to the agents doc warning:::cautioncallout in the permissions section about global"task": "allow"How did you verify your code works?
Read all three source files and confirmed the callout syntax (
:::caution,:::tip) matches existing usage throughout the docs codebase. Changes are documentation-only with no code impact.Screenshots / recordings
N/A — documentation-only change, no UI impact.
