Description
What variant of Codex are you using?
CLI
What feature would you like to see?
The latest updates were rather degrading. There is no possible explanation why one would restrict v2 subagents input/controls on the low-level paths like the app server. That looks more appropriate as a UI guidance, not something to be forced on.
The restrictions make it impossible to create fixes for common blind spots like better goal controls or use scripts for agent steering in more advanced cases. This is not an improvement!
Thank you for the attention to the matter.

Research direction
Start by tracing v2 subagent input and control handling through the app server, which the issue identifies as a low-level path. Determine which restrictions were introduced and whether they are enforced below the UI layer; done means advanced callers can provide the requested controls without removing appropriate UI guidance.
