Sprint 37 observed Opus 4.7 teammates in team mode ignoring scope
rules ("don't modify files outside your team"), leaving tasks
half-done, and failing to report back via SendMessage. Closest public
issues are anthropics/claude-code#47598 (4.6 subagent delegation
regression) and claude-agent-sdk-python#577 (SendMessage delivery in
team mode). No 4.7-specific team-mode issue published yet but symptoms
are real.
Fix: every Task spawn with a team_name argument now passes
model: "sonnet". The team lead (the session running the skill) stays
on whatever model the user selected — typically Opus.
Inline Agent spawns without team_name (one-shot reviewers in
/pr-review, research subagents, general-purpose one-offs) are
exempt — they keep their default model. The pin targets long-running
coordination specifically, not every Agent call.
Affected skills:
- sprint-start: step 8d Task template adds model: "sonnet" and
documents the rule with the 4.7 regression context
- workshop-start: step 5 spawn list adds the model pin with a
one-line reason
