The Python Agent SDK just fixed three long-standing bugs and added a new option, all in a single day's work from qing-ant.

The Claude Agent SDK for Python shipped a stack of fixes overnight, led by a change that raises a typed `ResultError` with the real error-result text and payload [1]. This repairs three issues: untyped exceptions on the message-stream path, lost subagent parent IDs [2], and the new `forward_subagent_text` option that mirrors the TypeScript SDK's behavior [3]. Also fixed: `can_use_tool` now stays available with string prompts [4]. Meanwhile, the security plugin reached v0.10.1-rc7 [5], and automated bumps rolled through both plugin repos, including `exa` [6] and `dash0` [7]. Notably, the knowledge-work plugins repo saw a swath of bumps for `modern-web-guidance` [8], `carta-investors` [9], `wix` [10], and `tinyfish` [11]. Release notes for the merge in zeta-23-lean promise "one comparator statement set, at the paper's constants, in a self-contained Challenge.lean" [12]. 39 PRs and 7 commits across 4 repos: this is a busy morning.
