Claude Managed Agents add session budgets, advisor models and inference_geo

You can now set a budget on a Claude Managed Agents session: a hard cap on the session’s spend, priced at public list rates. A session that reaches its budget pauses with the budget_reached stop reason instead of starting new model requests; changing or removing the budget resumes it. Deployments accept the same budget and apply it to each session they start. See Session budgets.
You can now give a Claude Managed Agents session an advisor: a model at least as capable as the agent’s own that the session’s primary thread can consult mid-turn for strategic guidance. Configure it as a {"type": "advisor"} entry in the agent’s multiagent roster, naming the model to consult. See Give the session an advisor.
You can now control where model inference runs for a Claude Managed Agents agent. Set inference_geo inside the model object when you create the agent, or override it for a single session. See Data residency for the available geos and pricing.
Claude Managed Agents sessions can now load skills from a GitHub repository. When a session mounts a repository, any skills in its root .claude/skills directory are discovered automatically at session start and available to the agent for that session.
