Claude Code

Added CLAUDE_CODE_WORKFLOW_SUBAGENT_MODEL environment variable for workflow model selection

Developers can now set CLAUDE_CODE_WORKFLOW_SUBAGENT_MODEL to run all workflow agents on a single model while other subagents maintain their individual configurations. This simplifies model management in complex multi-agent workflows.
