## Message

```
agent: Instruct agents to request approval before creating threads (#61898)

# Objective

Instruct agents not to create persistent sibling threads without user
approval.

## Solution

Update the `create_thread` instructions to require an explicit request
or approval. Agents may still suggest creating a thread.
