What's Wrong?

In version 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 my formerly frequently used (and working) subagent is not working (claude knows about it but execution fails).

I am getting a new error:

● project-builder(Build trading strategies project)

⎿  Initializing…
⎿  Error: Agent type 'project-builder' not found. Available agents: Bash, general-purpose, statusline-setup, Explore, Plan,
claude-code-guide, file-content-extractor, dotnet-trace-profiler, benchmark-runner, warning-solver,
vsdiagnostics-profiler

The file project-builder.md still exists in the same place (.claude/agents).
THE REAL PROBLEM: The claude knows about the subagent (it tries to execute by it), but the execution fails.
The subagent file is in the attachment.

project-builder.md

What Should Happen?

The subagent shall start working (when called it shall execute as before and not giving an error).
