What's Wrong?

After updating to latest version, all subagent tool invocations fail completely and never go through.

What Should Happen?

Subagents should work without fail.

Error Messages/Logs

1. Tool Error: It was {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"tools: Tool names must be 
  unique."},"request_id":"req_..."}

  This means when I tried to use the Task tool with subagent_type, there were duplicate tool names being registered. 
  This is why all my attempts to use specialized agents (Explore, Plan, ultrathink-architect, etc.) failed.

Steps to Reproduce

Idk call subagents
