feat(claude): set the dynamic workflow size per Claude instance - #32968
Claude Code's workflowSizeGuideline sets how many agents Claude aims for when it writes a dynamic workflow: small (under 5), medium (under 10), large (under 50) or unrestricted. T3 Code has no setting for it, so a Claude instance can only change it through Claude Code's /config, its settings files, or raw --settings JSON in Launch arguments.
Change
ClaudeSettings gets a workflowSizeGuideline select, shown as Dynamic workflow size in the Claude provider settings. It starts at Use default.
makeClaudeQueryOptions adds the value to the flag settings T3 Code already passes to Claude Code, next to autoCompactWindow. Use default sends nothing, so Claude Code's own setting applies and existing configs behave as before. Any other choice overrides a --settings value from Launch arguments.
Settings search finds the field through the Providers result, like the other per-instance fields.
docs/user/providers-claude.md explains which value wins.
Scope and approval
This is a focused configuration option for an established capability. T3 Code already runs Claude Code dynamic workflows and shows their progress, and Claude Code already has this setting. The option passes that one setting through and controls nothing else. Its default sends nothing, so no product default changes.
Verification
ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts: a new case checks that large is sent and default is not. The tool search case now also checks that the value survives next to ENABLE_TOOL_SEARCH. Both fail with the adapter change reverted.
settingsSearch.test.ts: "Dynamic workflow size" finds the Providers result.
vp run check:changed passes.
Manual check in vp run dev on Linux, Chromium, Claude Code 2.1.311. With Large selected, a Sonnet 5.5 thread quoted its Workflow tool description as "A workflow size guideline is configured for this session: large — keep workflows under 50 agents." The same CLI without the setting reported medium, from /config.
A vp run dev server on main loaded a settings file containing the new key without errors.
Not checked: the desktop and mobile clients. Mobile has no provider form for this field.

Created with Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code (T3 Code). Reviews used GPT-6.0 Astra and Claude Opus 5.5.
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Adds an optional per-instance Claude workflow-size guideline with settings search and documentation. Existing behavior remains unchanged unless a user explicitly selects an override.

Walkthrough
The Claude provider now offers a workflow size guideline setting. The server adds non-default selections to object-valued Claude SDK settings. Provider settings search and documentation include the setting.

Summary
Define and surface the guideline packages/contracts/src/settings.ts, apps/server/src/provider/ProviderInstanceRegistry.test.ts, apps/web/src/components/settings/settingsSearch.ts, apps/web/src/components/settings/settingsSearch.test.ts, docs/user/providers-claude.md
Adds workflowSizeGuideline with default, small, medium, large, and unrestricted choices. The setting defaults to default, appears in provider search, and is documented with its precedence rules.

Adds a non-default guideline to object-valued SDK settings. String-valued settings remain unchanged. Tests cover the guideline alongside existing environment values and verify that the configured value takes precedence over a launch-argument value.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to a9fb1
This adds an optional Claude workflow size setting. Choosing Use default sends nothing and keeps Claude Code's own setting, so existing behavior is unchanged. No merge-blocking risk remains.

Explanation
The title "feat(claude): set the dynamic workflow size per Claude instance" matches the main change. The PR adds a per-instance Dynamic workflow size setting for Claude providers, which is passed to Claude Code as workflowSizeGuideline. The title is a conventional commit, short, and specific.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template's main sections: Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification. It explains the missing setting and the new select field, and it states the precedence between the Use default option and Launch arguments. Scope explains why the change is a focused configuration option rather than a new feature. Verification lists focused tests, a manual Linux/Chromium check with the observed result, and what was not checked. It includes before/after screenshots for the UI change, as the template asks. The description does not state a linked issue or a maintainer request, and the Scope section argues against needing one. The template asks for an issue link or a reason for none, so the Scope section is partly incomplete. The description also names the models used, which the template does not require. Overall, the description is mostly complete.

Test workflow-size precedence through Launch arguments.
The new test supplies sdkSettings directly, so it cannot catch a dropped workflow-size value on the adapter path. Extend the existing --settings adapter test to assert that large overrides small and default preserves small. Fold this helper-only case into that test.

verified unchanged head 48a2fe7ec381a98b4f781e5b8807a28e60fb0150 on linux using the real dev web client, repo Playwright, /usr/bin/google-chrome, Codex gpt-6.1-sol, and Claude Sonnet 5.5 through the local provider proxy. no mocks or seeded data. created the git project and threads through the app.
reproduced on github/main (7171fdd771): no dynamic workflow size control; searching workflow found no settings. stopped main before starting the pr server.
selected every size in the real settings form. large survived a page reload and server restart. search now finds providers.
with launch arguments --settings '{"workflowSizeGuideline":"small"}', fresh claude sessions quoted their actual workflow tool guideline as small under default, large under the large override, then small after returning to default.
cleared launch arguments under default: a fresh claude session reported its own default, medium under 10 agents. inspected the real claude process arguments as well, so this does not rely only on model responses.
nearby behavior: autoCompactWindow: 300000 survived alongside the workflow size. real codex turns edited README.md, rendered its diff, and read it back on a follow-up after the claude setting changes.
blacksmith focused checks: 389 tests passed across ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts, ProviderInstanceRegistry.test.ts, and settingsSearch.test.ts. existing ci reports 28 successful checks. no source changes or pushes were needed.
runtime transcript, reading only the relevant keys from actual claude --settings process arguments:
native desktop shells on macos/windows, native ios/android, relay/tunnel connections, organization-managed claude policy, and actual multi-agent workflow creation were not exercised on this linux vm. this verifies setting delivery and the resulting tool guideline, not a hard agent-count limit. a second claude instance and actual compaction at the token threshold were not exercised. medium/unrestricted were selected in the form; their provider execution was not separately tested.
Claude Code's workflowSizeGuideline sets how many agents Claude aims for
when it writes a workflow. T3 Code had no setting for it, so it could only
be changed through Claude Code's /config, its settings files, or raw
--settings JSON in Launch arguments.
Add a Dynamic workflow size select to the Claude provider settings. Use
default sends nothing, so Claude Code's own setting applies. Small,
Medium, Large and Unrestricted are passed through the launch settings and
override a --settings value from Launch arguments.
A separate search result for Dynamic workflow size opened Providers
without selecting Claude or the row, because per-instance fields have no
search targets. List it in the Providers result like the other instance
fields.
Describe which value wins under Use default and against managed Claude
Code settings, and cover the setting next to the tool search override.
A chosen size overrides a --settings value from Launch arguments and
Use default keeps it. The test now checks both. Name that value in the
user guide, and let settings search find the field by "ultracode" and
"guideline" as well.
The --settings launch argument test now carries a workflow size, so it
checks that Use default keeps the value and a chosen size replaces it on
the path a Claude instance uses. The direct makeClaudeQueryOptions case
covered the same behavior one layer down and goes away.
