TL;DR

The issue is likely due to exceeding the rate limit and file size limits when using subagents for a deep security review, and a workaround could involve optimizing the prompt or splitting the review into smaller tasks.

Guidance

• Review the prompt to ensure it's optimized for the task, avoiding unnecessary complexity that could lead to excessive requests.
• Consider splitting the security review into smaller, more focused tasks to reduce the load on the system and avoid hitting rate limits.
• Look into the caching issue with subagents mentioned in the related GitHub issue (https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/29966) as a potential long-term fix.
• Monitor the request sizes and adjust the offset and limit parameters as suggested in the error messages to handle large files.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more context on the exact implementation, but adjusting the prompt or request parameters as mentioned could look something like optimizing the prompt for specificity or using offset and limit parameters to read files in chunks.

Notes

The provided information suggests that the issue is related to rate limiting and file size limits, but without the full context of the code or the exact implementation details, the suggestions are based on the error messages and the description of the task being performed.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by optimizing the prompt or splitting the task into smaller parts to avoid hitting rate limits, as the root cause seems to be related to how the task is structured rather than a straightforward code fix.
