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
