Subject: [PATCH] fix(subagent): report resumable children as ready
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

list_agents called a storage-only continuable child 'complete', inviting
parents to poll it for a result that will never appear there. Rename the
status to 'ready' — resumable, not terminal — and rewrite the tool
description to say a parent is told when a child finishes, so listing is
for recall, not polling.

+# Agent Note: `list_agents` uses `ready` for resumable children
+
+Status: implemented
+
+English | [中文](2026-08-06-list-agents-residency-vocabulary.zh.md)
+
+## Problem
+
+`list_agents` projected a continuable child's process residency as `running | idle | complete`. `complete` reads as a terminal unit of work with a result somewhere, but the underlying fact says only that no Activation is resident: the conversation is intact, `send_message` can continue it, and nothing about the child's outcome is being claimed. A model that reads `complete` reasonably looks for a result to collect or sends replacement work to a conversation it believes has ended.
+
+The word is especially misleading alongside [manager-owned settlement delivery](../feature/2026-08-06-manager-owned-subagent-settlement-delivery.md). Completion reaches the parent as a notice; listing exists to recall durable conversations, not to poll for that notice.
+
+## Decision
+
+The model-facing projection reports `running | idle | ready`:
+
+- **`running`** means the resident Agent has an active driver.
+- **`idle`** means the Agent is resident between turns and may be waiting on agents it started.
+- **`ready`** means only the durable conversation remains. `send_message` starts the next turn on the same conversation; the status is resumable rather than terminal and does not mean a result is waiting to be collected.
+
+The tool description states those distinctions and directs the model away from polling: it says the parent is told when a child finishes and that listing is for recalling which children it started. `send_message` remains the authoritative delivery check because either snapshot may race another process or a later message.
+
+The service layer is unchanged. `SubagentListEntry.activity` retains `'running' | 'inactive'`, which accurately describes corpus residency for consumers such as a UI. The model-facing adapter maps `inactive` to `ready` because that word communicates the action available to the model without inventing an outcome.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**Keep `complete` and qualify it in the description.** A description saying that `complete` does not mean complete fights the rendered status on every read. The line the model scans must carry the correct distinction itself.
+
+**Use `active | dormant`.** This removes the useful distinction between a resident Agent that is between turns and a storage-only conversation, and makes the storage-only state sound unavailable. `ready` states the useful fact: the same conversation accepts another turn.
+
+**Drop the status entirely.** Residency remains useful when a parent decides whether to send more work. Removing it trades one misleading status for no signal.
+
+**Rename the service activity values.** `running | inactive` is correct at the service layer and has non-model consumers. Renaming it would churn a general contract to fix one adapter's presentation; the [durable catalog note](../feature/2026-07-22-durable-subagent-catalog-and-list-agents.md) continues to own that service vocabulary.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- The rendered line uses `<id> [running] — <label>`, `<id> [idle] — <label>`, or `<id> [ready] — <label>`.
+- The output schema's `status` enum changes with the rendered contract. The generated tool catalog picks up the new description; it renders each tool's `parameters` only and never carried the output schema.
+- Unit coverage pins all three mappings and the description clauses that direct the model to the settlement notice instead of polling this tool.
+- The assembled ACP `subagent-list-agents` scenario renders `ready` for a settled, resumable child.

+# Agent Note: `list_agents` uses `ready` for resumable children
+
+Status: implemented
+
+[English](2026-08-06-list-agents-residency-vocabulary.md) | 中文
+
+## Problem
+
+`list_agents` 把可继续 child 的进程驻留状态投影为 `running | idle | complete`。`complete` 读起来像一项终态工作，且结果就在某处，但底层事实只表示没有驻留的 Activation：对话完好无损，`send_message` 可以继续它，而且它对 child 的结果不作任何断言。读到 `complete` 的模型会合理地寻找可收集结果，或向一个它以为已经结束的对话发送替代工作。
+
+这个词与[由管理器负责的结算投递](../feature/2026-08-06-manager-owned-subagent-settlement-delivery.md)同时出现时尤其容易误导。完成会以通知到达 parent；列表用于回忆持久化对话，而不是轮询该通知。
+
+## Decision
+
+面向模型的投影报告 `running | idle | ready`：
+
+- **`running`** 表示驻留 Agent 存在活跃 driver。
+- **`idle`** 表示 Agent 驻留但处于轮次之间，也可能正在等待它启动的 agent。
+- **`ready`** 表示只剩下持久化对话。`send_message` 会在同一对话上启动下一轮；该状态表示可恢复而非终态，也不表示有结果等待收集。
+
+工具描述会陈述这些区别，并引导模型远离轮询：它说明 child 结束时 parent 会收到通知，而列表用于回忆自己启动过哪些 child。由于任一快照都可能与另一进程或后续消息竞态，`send_message` 仍是投递时的权威检查。
+
+服务层不变。`SubagentListEntry.activity` 保留 `'running' | 'inactive'`，对 UI 等消费方而言，这准确描述了语料驻留状态。面向模型的适配器把 `inactive` 映射为 `ready`，因为这个词表达了模型可执行的操作，而没有虚构结果。
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+**保留 `complete`，并在描述中限定它。** 一段解释 `complete` 不代表完成的描述，每次被读取时都在与渲染状态对抗。模型扫读的那一行必须自身表达正确区别。
+
+**使用 `active | dormant`。** 这会删除处于轮次之间的驻留 Agent 与仅存于存储的对话之间的有效区别，并让仅存于存储的状态听起来不可用。`ready` 直接表达有用事实：同一对话可以接受下一轮。
+
+**完全移除状态。** parent 决定是否发送更多工作时，驻留状态依然有用。移除它只是用没有信号替代一个误导性状态。
+
+**重命名服务活动值。** `running | inactive` 在服务层是正确的，并且有非模型消费方。为了修复一个适配器的呈现而搅动通用契约并不合理；[持久化目录 Agent Note](../feature/2026-07-22-durable-subagent-catalog-and-list-agents.md) 继续拥有该服务词汇。
+
+## Consequences
+
+- 渲染行使用 `<id> [running] — <label>`、`<id> [idle] — <label>` 或 `<id> [ready] — <label>`。
+- 输出 schema 的 `status` 枚举与渲染契约一同变化。生成的工具目录会带上新描述；它只渲染每个工具的 `parameters`，从来不收录输出 schema。
+- 单元覆盖固定三种映射，以及引导模型等待结算通知而非轮询本工具的描述条款。
+- 整体组装的 ACP `subagent-list-agents` 场景会为已结算且可恢复的 child 渲染 `ready`。

 A valid descriptor produces one child entry, a per-child inspection failure produces one diagnostic entry, and a candidate without a descriptor produces no entry. `mode` is durable creation policy; `activity` is a process-local corpus snapshot. Activity is neither `AgentStatus`, the manager's internal Activation state, nor a durable outcome, and the result does not expose the internal `createdAt` sorting key. Exact Activation states and durable outcomes such as successful completion, failure, cancellation, and stop reason require a separate durable activation record and are outside this feature.
 
-The model-facing `list_agents` tool takes one optional `scope: 'children' | 'descendants'` argument, derives the root id from the current execution Agent, and resolves the request through an explicit request-to-spec step (`undefined` → `children`) before either execution or rendering.

Its internal output projection keeps `id` and `parent` as branded `SessionId` values until the tool JSON boundary. It keeps diagnostics, drops `one-shot` child entries, derives status from the live Agent registry — `running` for an active driver, `idle` for a resident Agent between turns, and `complete` when no live Agent remains — then renders `<id> [<status>] — <label>` or `<id> [diagnostic: <reason>]` in stable catalog order. The `descendants` scope flattens the complete tree from one live-preferred corpus in stable pre-order, traverses ordinary and one-shot intermediates so deeper continuable agents are discovered, revalidates each cold candidate against its enumerated lifecycle, and adds `parentId`/`depth` to every entry. The tool inserts ` parent=<id> depth=<n>` before the label; `parent` is the durable direct-parent session id and may name an omitted ordinary session. For the current caller, only depth-1 child rows are `send_message` candidates, while deeper child rows may be selected for `interrupt_agent` ([interrupt contract](2026-08-06-continuable-subagent-interrupt.md)). Discovery is a hint only — follow-up authority stays exact-direct-parent, and interrupt authority stays with the service's live-lineage check. An empty projection renders `(no subagents)`.

 In the superseded trace-based path, diagnostics used three fixed reasons. Malformed event surfaces, conflicting headers discovered during an exact child load, a read result whose immutable header differs from the traced candidate or no longer names the requested direct parent, a target that is no longer the located descriptor event, malformed descriptor content, and multiple descriptor events mapped to `corrupt`. An unknown descriptor version mapped to `unsupported`. `SESSION_QUERY_SESSION_NOT_FOUND`, `SESSION_QUERY_EVENT_NOT_FOUND`, and `SESSION_QUERY_PERSISTENCE_FAILED` from a per-child read mapped to `unavailable`. This phase boundary was intentional: a persistence outage during the initial trace failed the operation, while the same outage beginning during candidate reads could produce one identical `unavailable` diagnostic per affected child; the first version neither coalesced those diagnostics nor promoted them to a global failure. A missing descriptor was instead a non-subagent exclusion without a diagnostic. Configuration/window errors and unrecognized failures were not child diagnostics and propagated as operation failures. Each diagnostic identified the child id and reason without exposing model-hidden descriptor content; the candidate was omitted while healthy siblings remained visible. Sessions outside the trace's direct descendants were never read and produced no diagnostic.

 ## Durable enumeration: `listChildren()`, `listDescendants()`, and their entries
 
-`SubagentService.listChildren(parentSessionId)` enumerates the parent's direct session-backed subagents from the live-preferred merge of `ctx.sessions.list()` and optional `ctx.sessionPersistence.list()` — no query service, and no Agent is loaded or resumed. Candidates are the direct children whose durable header carries `origin: 'subagent'`; the marker classifies enumeration and coarse generic-route denial but cannot establish a valid descriptor, resumability, or authorization — the projection fold owns identity, and the Activation contract owns resume. Each row's `mode`/`label` is the registered `subagent` projection unit's value, served through a three-rung ladder: the registry's watermark cache for a live child (zero log reads); the optional projection checkpoint cache for a cold one (`cachedSnapshot` — an identity passing the own-suffix seq gate is final, because an own descriptor is immutable once appended); otherwise one `persistence.inspect()` reading folded through the registry (bounded concurrency, recomputed per listing). The cache is a pure optional accelerator: absent, serving the `null` sentinel or missing the key, failing the seq gate, or faulting, it falls silently through to the authoritative refold. The fold is `subagent/descriptor` last-wins with no failure channel: the child's own descriptor overrides a fork-seeded ancestor's, and a malformed or unknown-version payload folds to a serializable `null` sentinel, treated as no value. The result is one `SubagentListEntry[]` in `createdAt`-then-id order: a served identity yields a `child` entry with `mode: 'one-shot' | 'continuable'` and `activity: 'running' | 'inactive'`; continuable entries always carry `label`, while one-shot entries carry it only when the start caller supplied presentation metadata. A settled candidate whose fold served no identity yields a `corrupt` diagnostic — missing, malformed, and unknown-version descriptors deliberately undistinguished (`unsupported` remains in the type but is never produced); a running candidate without an identity is omitted (the creation window before its descriptor lands); a failed cold inspection yields one `unavailable` diagnostic retried on the next listing, so one damaged sibling cannot hide healthy children. `hasChildren` marks a direct descendant with durable subagent origin, read from the same merged material. Activity snapshots only whether the logical record is live in `ctx.sessions`, not outcome or resumability. Absent persistence, enumeration is live-only rather than an error — a cold child cannot be resumed then either. `listChildren()` throws `SubagentError` with code `SUBAGENT_CONTROL_PROJECTIONS_UNAVAILABLE` when the `ctx.sessionProjections` registry is absent and `SUBAGENT_CONTROL_SESSION_STORE_UNAVAILABLE` when the session store is, both checked before any read so a deployment with zero children still fails deterministically; the list tool requires `ctx.subagents` and `ctx.agents` at plugin load. A service consumer such as a UI can display both modes and choose an unlabeled one-shot fallback, while the model-facing `list_agents` adapter (the separately loadable `/list-agents` plugin of [dsh-tool-subagent-control](../../packages/subagent/tool-subagent-control)) keeps only continuable entries and refines status through the live Agent registry's `running`/`idle`/`complete` vocabulary. Listing does not consult the continuation manager's Activation map, Agent registry, or provider availability; `send_message` remains the authoritative delivery-time operation, and a listed running continuable child may still reject delivery as an ownership conflict.

Ordinary sessions and one-shot children remain traversal nodes, so continuable descendants below them are discovered; only `origin: 'subagent'` candidates produce rows. Each returned child or diagnostic adds its position from the enumerated durable header, while a cold inspection revalidates that complete lifecycle before serving identity:

-按持久 id 和标签列出你的可继续后台 subagent。状态来自实时注册表：running 表示 agent 此刻正在工作；idle 表示已加载但处于轮次之间，可能正在等待它启动的 agent；complete 表示它只存在于存储中。无论处于哪种状态，直接子级都仍可作为 `send_message` 的目标。该快照并非投递承诺；`send_message` 会执行权威检查，仍可能失败。无法读取的子级会作为诊断信息报告，而不会被静默丢弃。`descendants` 作用域会按稳定的前序顺序遍历你下方的整棵树，并为每个条目标注其持久的直接父会话 id 和深度。只有深度为 1 的条目可以使用 `send_message`；更深的条目只能作为 `interrupt_agent` 的候选目标。
+按持久 id 和标签列出你的可继续后台 subagent。用它回忆你启动过哪些 subagent，而不是轮询完成情况——subagent 完成时你会被告知。状态来自实时注册表：running 表示 agent 此刻正在工作；idle 表示已加载但处于轮次之间，可能正在等待它启动的 agent；ready 表示它只存在于存储中——可恢复而非终态，也不表示有结果等待收集；`send_message` 会在同一对话上开启新的轮次，且无论处于哪种状态，直接子级都仍可作为 `send_message` 的目标。该快照并非投递承诺；`send_message` 会执行权威检查，仍可能失败。无法读取的子级会作为诊断信息报告，而不会被静默丢弃。`descendants` 作用域会按稳定的前序顺序遍历你下方的整棵树，并为每个条目标注其持久的直接父会话 id 和深度。只有深度为 1 的条目可以使用 `send_message`；更深的条目只能作为 `interrupt_agent` 的候选目标。

Your working directory is {{cwd}}.\n\nVerify your work by running the code or tests. Keep answers brief and factual.\n\n\nUse the read tool — not shell commands like cat — to inspect text files. Results include line numbers. Use offset and limit to continue reading large files.\n\nUse the write tool to create files or completely replace file contents. Existing files are overwritten, so read an existing file first (the default fs-policy requires it) and prefer edit for targeted changes.\n\nUse the edit tool for targeted changes to existing UTF-8 text files. It replaces literal old_string with new_string; by default old_string must appear exactly once. If old_string appears multiple times, provide a more specific old_string or set replace_all to true. Read the file first (the default fs-policy requires it), unless you just created or edited it in this session.\n\nCheck the [exit code: N] marker on every bash result; investigate failures before moving on.\n\nTrack every background task id you start. You are notified in-session when a task finishes — do not busy-poll or sleep on one; keep working on independent steps and do not duplicate a running task's work. Before giving a final answer, collect every still-relevant task with task_output (set wait: true only when you are genuinely blocked on it), and task_kill tasks that stopped mattering.\n\nUse the workflow tool ONLY when the user explicitly asks for a workflow or for large multi-agent orchestration: you write a JavaScript script (the tool description documents the exact format) that fans work out across many subagents with phases and structured results. For one or two delegations, prefer plain subagent calls.\n\nUse the ralph tool ONLY when the direct human explicitly asks for a Ralph loop or fresh-agent iterative execution. Each Ralph round starts a fresh child with no conversation seed and uses the shared workspace as durable memory. Completion and blockers are worker reports, not independent evaluation. Use same-session goal tools for ordinary long-running objectives, and plain subagents or workflows for bounded delegation and fan-out.\n\n## Writing code for run_code\n\nPass `run_code` the body of an async TypeScript function (erasable syntax only — no `enum` or namespaces; type annotations are advisory, the code runs type-stripped). Inside the program:\n\n- Call tools as `await tools.name(args)` — quoted access for exotic names: `tools[\"my-tool\"](args)`. Every call resolves to the tool's typed canonical JSON value. Tool arguments must be lossless JSON.\n- A FAILED tool call rejects with `ToolCallError`, whose `toolName` identifies the failed tool and whose `message` is human-readable — `try/catch` it to handle and continue.\n- Independent read-only calls MAY overlap under `Promise.all` (safe calls run concurrently; mutating calls run alone, in submission order). Sequence dependent work with `await`.\n- Emit results with `return` and/or `console.log(...)`. ONLY what you print or return comes back to you — intermediate tool results never enter the conversation, so extract just what you need.\n\nThe available tools:\n\n```ts\ntype JsonValue = null | boolean | number | string | JsonValue[] | { [key: string]: JsonValue }\n\ninterface ToolArgsMap {\n  /** Execute a bash command (`bash -c`) and return its stdout/stderr.

This creates an in-memory runtime Plugin, not an installed or configured Plugin. It remains active across later turns until cordis_unmount, toolset unload, or DSH restart. It does not create files, install a package, change cordis.yml or personal/project config, survive restart, or automatically become permanent. To keep it, ask the Agent to implement an SDK Plugin or installable profile bundle through the regular development workflow. It may affect other sessions in the same process; the sandbox is not a security boundary, and injected services reach the real runtime. `code` runs now as the body of an async JavaScript function in an isolated sandbox and MUST `return` a plugin. Two forms: FUNCTION form `return (ctx) => { … }` — declares no inject, so it can register tools, listen to events, and provide services, but reaching ANY service (e.g. ctx.bash) throws; use it only when you need no services. OBJECT form `return { name?, inject: ['bash', 'llm', …], apply(ctx) { … } }` — declares dependencies, and cordis activates the plugin only after the services exist; PREFER this form. You may reach ONLY the services you list in inject: an undeclared service throws even if it exists, because an undeclared dependency would not be cleaned up if its provider is unmounted. BEFORE calling a service from your code, read cordis_inspect what:\"api\" — it lists method signatures AND the type shapes of their arguments/returns (do not guess a field's type; e.g. a bash run's stdout is an object, not a string). Inside `apply`, use the standard cordis API: `ctx.on(event, listener)` to observe events (see cordis_inspect what:\"events\"), or call `harness.registerTool(ctx, harness.defineTool({ name, description, parameters: { text: { type: 'string', required: true } }, output: { schema: { type: 'string' }, render(_args, value) { return [{ type: 'text', text: value }] } }, async execute(args) { return args.text } }))` to give yourself a new tool — it becomes callable on your NEXT step. Tool parameters: each key IS a property — { type: 'string'|'number'|'integer'|'boolean'|'null'|'object'|'array'|'json', required?: true, description?, enum?, const?, items?, properties? }; every direct DSL object declares additionalProperties: true|false, and oneOf: [schema, schema, ...] replaces type for an exact-one union. A raw JSON-Schema { type: 'object', properties, required?: […] } wrapper is also accepted with open-by-default objects. A tool's `execute` MUST return the lossless JSON value declared by `output.schema`; `output.render(args, value)` separately returns Native/model content blocks. Temporary Plugins can COMPOSE: one Plugin may `ctx.provide('name', value)` a service and another may declare `inject: ['name']` to consume it — the consumer stays pending until the provider exists and returns to pending when the provider is unmounted. Everything registered inside `apply` is cleaned up automatically by cordis_unmount. Sandbox globals: `console` (tagged `[cordis:<id>]`, writes through to the harness terminal), `harness.defineTool`, `harness.registerTool`, `btoa`, `atob`, `TextEncoder`, `TextDecoder`. Node APIs are DISABLED — do filesystem/network/timer work through the cordis services, never Node built-ins: `require`, `setTimeout`/`setInterval`, and `fetch` throw redirect errors; `process` and `Buffer` are undefined. Instead use inject: ['fs'] + ctx.fs for files, inject: ['web'] + ctx.web for HTTP, inject: ['bash'] + ctx.bash for processes, and inject: ['timer'] + ctx.setTimeout/ctx.setInterval for timing (fiber effects, auto-cleaned when unmounted) — cordis_inspect what:\"api\" shows what THIS runtime provides. Write PLAIN JavaScript, not TypeScript (no `as`, no type annotations). Cautions: (1) waterfall events (e.g. tools/pre-execute) hand the listener a trailing `next` callback which MUST be called — returning without `next()` SHORT-CIRCUITS the call; prefer plain notification events unless you intend to intercept. (2) Never await something that only resolves after the current turn (your code runs INSIDE a tool call of that turn — it would deadlock). (3) Your `ctx` is a restricted façade: you can register tools, observe events, provide/consume services, and use timers, but framework internals (ctx.root, ctx.fiber, ctx.extend, ctx.plugin, …) are withheld. It is not a security boundary though — the services you inject (e.g. ctx.bash) reach the real runtime. */\n  cordis_mount: {\n    /** JavaScript body returning a temporary Plugin; evaluated now and saved nowhere. */\n    code: string;\n  } & Record<string, JsonValue>;\n  /** Unmount a current-process temporary Plugin created by cordis_mount.

Use this for work that fans out across many independent pieces — an audit over many files, a migration, multi-angle research, adversarial verification of findings — where you write the orchestration as a script instead of delegating turn by turn. The workflow's identity rides the `meta` parameter as JSON: required `name` (short kebab-case) and `description` strings, optional `whenToUse` string and `phases` array (`{title, detail?, provider?, model?}`). The `script` parameter is the plain JavaScript body ONLY (NOT TypeScript, and NO `export const meta` statement — meta is a parameter, not code), running with top-level await; end with `return <value>` — the value must be JSON-serializable and is this tool's result. Script-body hooks: - `agent(prompt, opts?): Promise<any>` — run one subagent to completion. Without `opts.schema` it resolves to the child's final text; with `opts.schema` (an object-rooted JSON Schema using ONLY type/properties/required/additionalProperties/items/enum/const/oneOf — no pattern/format/numeric bounds) it resolves to the validated object. Resolves `null` when the child fails (filter with `.filter(Boolean)`). Other opts: `label` (display), `phase` (progress group), and independent `provider`/`model` LLM target overrides (either may be provided alone). Anything else (`effort`/`isolation`/`agentType`) is rejected loudly. - `pipeline(items, ...stages): Promise<any[]>` — run each item through the stages independently with NO barrier between stages (prefer this for multi-stage work). Each stage receives `(prev, item, index)`. An ordinary stage throw drops that ITEM to `null` and skips its remaining stages. - `parallel(thunks): Promise<any[]>` — run zero-argument functions concurrently and await ALL of them (a barrier; use only when a stage genuinely needs every prior result together). A throwing thunk resolves to `null`. - `phase(title)` — start a progress phase; `log(message)` — narrate progress; `args` — the tool call's `args` input, verbatim. Misused hooks (bad arguments, unknown options, unsupported schemas, tripped caps) throw errors that ALWAYS kill the script — they never dissolve into a per-item `null`. Constraints: concurrency and total-agent caps apply; no filesystem, network, timers, or Node.js APIs are provided — the agents do the work, the script only coordinates them.

This creates an in-memory runtime Plugin, not an installed or configured Plugin. It remains active across later turns until cordis_unmount, toolset unload, or DSH restart. It does not create files, install a package, change cordis.yml or personal/project config, survive restart, or automatically become permanent. To keep it, ask the Agent to implement an SDK Plugin or installable profile bundle through the regular development workflow. It may affect other sessions in the same process; the sandbox is not a security boundary, and injected services reach the real runtime. `code` runs now as the body of an async JavaScript function in an isolated sandbox and MUST `return` a plugin. Two forms: FUNCTION form `return (ctx) => { … }` — declares no inject, so it can register tools, listen to events, and provide services, but reaching ANY service (e.g. ctx.bash) throws; use it only when you need no services. OBJECT form `return { name?, inject: ['bash', 'llm', …], apply(ctx) { … } }` — declares dependencies, and cordis activates the plugin only after the services exist; PREFER this form. You may reach ONLY the services you list in inject: an undeclared service throws even if it exists, because an undeclared dependency would not be cleaned up if its provider is unmounted. BEFORE calling a service from your code, read cordis_inspect what:\"api\" — it lists method signatures AND the type shapes of their arguments/returns (do not guess a field's type; e.g. a bash run's stdout is an object, not a string). Inside `apply`, use the standard cordis API: `ctx.on(event, listener)` to observe events (see cordis_inspect what:\"events\"), or call `harness.registerTool(ctx, harness.defineTool({ name, description, parameters: { text: { type: 'string', required: true } }, output: { schema: { type: 'string' }, render(_args, value) { return [{ type: 'text', text: value }] } }, async execute(args) { return args.text } }))` to give yourself a new tool — it becomes callable on your NEXT step. Tool parameters: each key IS a property — { type: 'string'|'number'|'integer'|'boolean'|'null'|'object'|'array'|'json', required?: true, description?, enum?, const?, items?, properties? }; every direct DSL object declares additionalProperties: true|false, and oneOf: [schema, schema, ...] replaces type for an exact-one union. A raw JSON-Schema { type: 'object', properties, required?: […] } wrapper is also accepted with open-by-default objects. A tool's `execute` MUST return the lossless JSON value declared by `output.schema`; `output.render(args, value)` separately returns Native/model content blocks. Temporary Plugins can COMPOSE: one Plugin may `ctx.provide('name', value)` a service and another may declare `inject: ['name']` to consume it — the consumer stays pending until the provider exists and returns to pending when the provider is unmounted. Everything registered inside `apply` is cleaned up automatically by cordis_unmount. Sandbox globals: `console` (tagged `[cordis:<id>]`, writes through to the harness terminal), `harness.defineTool`, `harness.registerTool`, `btoa`, `atob`, `TextEncoder`, `TextDecoder`. Node APIs are DISABLED — do filesystem/network/timer work through the cordis services, never Node built-ins: `require`, `setTimeout`/`setInterval`, and `fetch` throw redirect errors; `process` and `Buffer` are undefined. Instead use inject: ['fs'] + ctx.fs for files, inject: ['web'] + ctx.web for HTTP, inject: ['bash'] + ctx.bash for processes, and inject: ['timer'] + ctx.setTimeout/ctx.setInterval for timing (fiber effects, auto-cleaned when unmounted) — cordis_inspect what:\"api\" shows what THIS runtime provides. Write PLAIN JavaScript, not TypeScript (no `as`, no type annotations). Cautions: (1) waterfall events (e.g. tools/pre-execute) hand the listener a trailing `next` callback which MUST be called — returning without `next()` SHORT-CIRCUITS the call; prefer plain notification events unless you intend to intercept. (2) Never await something that only resolves after the current turn (your code runs INSIDE a tool call of that turn — it would deadlock). (3) Your `ctx` is a restricted façade: you can register tools, observe events, provide/consume services, and use timers, but framework internals (ctx.root, ctx.fiber, ctx.extend, ctx.plugin, …) are withheld. It is not a security boundary though — the services you inject (e.g. ctx.bash) reach the real runtime.","parameters":{"type":"object","properties":{"code":{"type":"string","description":"JavaScript body returning a temporary Plugin; evaluated now and saved nowhere."}},"required":["code"]}},{"name":"cordis_unmount","description":"Unmount a current-process temporary Plugin created by cordis_mount.

Each stage receives `(prev, item, index)`. An ordinary stage throw drops that ITEM to `null` and skips its remaining stages.\n- `parallel(thunks): Promise<any[]>` — run zero-argument functions concurrently and await ALL of them (a barrier; use only when a stage genuinely needs every prior result together). A throwing thunk resolves to `null`.\n- `phase(title)` — start a progress phase; `log(message)` — narrate progress; `args` — the tool call's `args` input, verbatim.\n\nMisused hooks (bad arguments, unknown options, unsupported schemas, tripped caps) throw errors that ALWAYS kill the script — they never dissolve into a per-item `null`.\n\nConstraints: concurrency and total-agent caps apply; no filesystem, network, timers, or Node.js APIs are provided — the agents do the work, the script only coordinates them.

Before giving a final answer, collect every still-relevant task with task_output (set wait: true only when you are genuinely blocked on it), and task_kill tasks that stopped mattering.\n\nUse the workflow tool ONLY when the user explicitly asks for a workflow or for large multi-agent orchestration: you write a JavaScript script (the tool description documents the exact format) that fans work out across many subagents with phases and structured results. For one or two delegations, prefer plain subagent calls.\n\nUse the ralph tool ONLY when the direct human explicitly asks for a Ralph loop or fresh-agent iterative execution. Each Ralph round starts a fresh child with no conversation seed and uses the shared workspace as durable memory. Completion and blockers are worker reports, not independent evaluation. Use same-session goal tools for ordinary long-running objectives, and plain subagents or workflows for bounded delegation and fan-out.\n\n## Writing code for run_code\n\nPass `run_code` the body of an async TypeScript function (erasable syntax only — no `enum` or namespaces; type annotations are advisory, the code runs type-stripped). Inside the program:\n\n- Call tools as `await tools.name(args)` — quoted access for exotic names: `tools[\"my-tool\"](args)`. Every call resolves to the tool's typed canonical JSON value. Tool arguments must be lossless JSON.\n- A FAILED tool call rejects with `ToolCallError`, whose `toolName` identifies the failed tool and whose `message` is human-readable — `try/catch` it to handle and continue.\n- Independent read-only calls MAY overlap under `Promise.all` (safe calls run concurrently; mutating calls run alone, in submission order). Sequence dependent work with `await`.\n- Emit results with `return` and/or `console.log(...)`. ONLY what you print or return comes back to you — intermediate tool results never enter the conversation, so extract just what you need.\n\nThe available tools:\n\n```ts\ntype JsonValue = null | boolean | number | string | JsonValue[] | { [key: string]: JsonValue }\n\ninterface ToolArgsMap {\n  /** Execute a bash command (`bash -c`) and return its stdout/stderr.

It does not create files, install a package, change cordis.yml or personal/project config, survive restart, or automatically become permanent. To keep it, ask the Agent to implement an SDK Plugin or installable profile bundle through the regular development workflow. It may affect other sessions in the same process; the sandbox is not a security boundary, and injected services reach the real runtime. `code` runs now as the body of an async JavaScript function in an isolated sandbox and MUST `return` a plugin. Two forms: FUNCTION form `return (ctx) => { … }` — declares no inject, so it can register tools, listen to events, and provide services, but reaching ANY service (e.g. ctx.bash) throws; use it only when you need no services. OBJECT form `return { name?, inject: ['bash', 'llm', …], apply(ctx) { … } }` — declares dependencies, and cordis activates the plugin only after the services exist; PREFER this form. You may reach ONLY the services you list in inject: an undeclared service throws even if it exists, because an undeclared dependency would not be cleaned up if its provider is unmounted. BEFORE calling a service from your code, read cordis_inspect what:\"api\" — it lists method signatures AND the type shapes of their arguments/returns (do not guess a field's type; e.g. a bash run's stdout is an object, not a string). Inside `apply`, use the standard cordis API: `ctx.on(event, listener)` to observe events (see cordis_inspect what:\"events\"), or call `harness.registerTool(ctx, harness.defineTool({ name, description, parameters: { text: { type: 'string', required: true } }, output: { schema: { type: 'string' }, render(_args, value) { return [{ type: 'text', text: value }] } }, async execute(args) { return args.text } }))` to give yourself a new tool — it becomes callable on your NEXT step. Tool parameters: each key IS a property — { type: 'string'|'number'|'integer'|'boolean'|'null'|'object'|'array'|'json', required?: true, description?, enum?, const?, items?, properties? }; every direct DSL object declares additionalProperties: true|false, and oneOf: [schema, schema, ...] replaces type for an exact-one union. A raw JSON-Schema { type: 'object', properties, required?: […] } wrapper is also accepted with open-by-default objects. A tool's `execute` MUST return the lossless JSON value declared by `output.schema`; `output.render(args, value)` separately returns Native/model content blocks. Temporary Plugins can COMPOSE: one Plugin may `ctx.provide('name', value)` a service and another may declare `inject: ['name']` to consume it — the consumer stays pending until the provider exists and returns to pending when the provider is unmounted. Everything registered inside `apply` is cleaned up automatically by cordis_unmount. Sandbox globals: `console` (tagged `[cordis:<id>]`, writes through to the harness terminal), `harness.defineTool`, `harness.registerTool`, `btoa`, `atob`, `TextEncoder`, `TextDecoder`. Node APIs are DISABLED — do filesystem/network/timer work through the cordis services, never Node built-ins: `require`, `setTimeout`/`setInterval`, and `fetch` throw redirect errors; `process` and `Buffer` are undefined. Instead use inject: ['fs'] + ctx.fs for files, inject: ['web'] + ctx.web for HTTP, inject: ['bash'] + ctx.bash for processes, and inject: ['timer'] + ctx.setTimeout/ctx.setInterval for timing (fiber effects, auto-cleaned when unmounted) — cordis_inspect what:\"api\" shows what THIS runtime provides. Write PLAIN JavaScript, not TypeScript (no `as`, no type annotations). Cautions: (1) waterfall events (e.g. tools/pre-execute) hand the listener a trailing `next` callback which MUST be called — returning without `next()` SHORT-CIRCUITS the call; prefer plain notification events unless you intend to intercept. (2) Never await something that only resolves after the current turn (your code runs INSIDE a tool call of that turn — it would deadlock). (3) Your `ctx` is a restricted façade: you can register tools, observe events, provide/consume services, and use timers, but framework internals (ctx.root, ctx.fiber, ctx.extend, ctx.plugin, …) are withheld. It is not a security boundary though — the services you inject (e.g. ctx.bash) reach the real runtime. */\n  cordis_mount: {\n    /** JavaScript body returning a temporary Plugin; evaluated now and saved nowhere. */\n    code: string;\n  } & Record<string, JsonValue>;\n  /** Unmount a current-process temporary Plugin created by cordis_mount.

Use this for work that fans out across many independent pieces — an audit over many files, a migration, multi-angle research, adversarial verification of findings — where you write the orchestration as a script instead of delegating turn by turn. The workflow's identity rides the `meta` parameter as JSON: required `name` (short kebab-case) and `description` strings, optional `whenToUse` string and `phases` array (`{title, detail?, provider?, model?}`). The `script` parameter is the plain JavaScript body ONLY (NOT TypeScript, and NO `export const meta` statement — meta is a parameter, not code), running with top-level await; end with `return <value>` — the value must be JSON-serializable and is this tool's result. Script-body hooks: - `agent(prompt, opts?): Promise<any>` — run one subagent to completion. Without `opts.schema` it resolves to the child's final text; with `opts.schema` (an object-rooted JSON Schema using ONLY type/properties/required/additionalProperties/items/enum/const/oneOf — no pattern/format/numeric bounds) it resolves to the validated object. Resolves `null` when the child fails (filter with `.filter(Boolean)`). Other opts: `label` (display), `phase` (progress group), and independent `provider`/`model` LLM target overrides (either may be provided alone). Anything else (`effort`/`isolation`/`agentType`) is rejected loudly. - `pipeline(items, ...stages): Promise<any[]>` — run each item through the stages independently with NO barrier between stages (prefer this for multi-stage work). Each stage receives `(prev, item, index)`. An ordinary stage throw drops that ITEM to `null` and skips its remaining stages. - `parallel(thunks): Promise<any[]>` — run zero-argument functions concurrently and await ALL of them (a barrier; use only when a stage genuinely needs every prior result together). A throwing thunk resolves to `null`. - `phase(title)` — start a progress phase; `log(message)` — narrate progress; `args` — the tool call's `args` input, verbatim. Misused hooks (bad arguments, unknown options, unsupported schemas, tripped caps) throw errors that ALWAYS kill the script — they never dissolve into a per-item `null`. Constraints: concurrency and total-agent caps apply; no filesystem, network, timers, or Node.js APIs are provided — the agents do the work, the script only coordinates them.

Omit for all sections.","enum":["services","plugins","tools","temporary","api","events"]},"name":{"type":"string","description":"Exact service key or event name whose original JSDoc to include; valid only with what:\"api\" or what:\"events\"."}}}},{"name":"cordis_mount","description":"Mount a temporary Cordis Plugin in the current DSH process. This creates an in-memory runtime Plugin, not an installed or configured Plugin. It remains active across later turns until cordis_unmount, toolset unload, or DSH restart. It does not create files, install a package, change cordis.yml or personal/project config, survive restart, or automatically become permanent. To keep it, ask the Agent to implement an SDK Plugin or installable profile bundle through the regular development workflow. It may affect other sessions in the same process; the sandbox is not a security boundary, and injected services reach the real runtime. `code` runs now as the body of an async JavaScript function in an isolated sandbox and MUST `return` a plugin. Two forms: FUNCTION form `return (ctx) => { … }` — declares no inject, so it can register tools, listen to events, and provide services, but reaching ANY service (e.g. ctx.bash) throws; use it only when you need no services. OBJECT form `return { name?, inject: ['bash', 'llm', …], apply(ctx) { … } }` — declares dependencies, and cordis activates the plugin only after the services exist; PREFER this form. You may reach ONLY the services you list in inject: an undeclared service throws even if it exists, because an undeclared dependency would not be cleaned up if its provider is unmounted. BEFORE calling a service from your code, read cordis_inspect what:\"api\" — it lists method signatures AND the type shapes of their arguments/returns (do not guess a field's type; e.g. a bash run's stdout is an object, not a string). Inside `apply`, use the standard cordis API: `ctx.on(event, listener)` to observe events (see cordis_inspect what:\"events\"), or call `harness.registerTool(ctx, harness.defineTool({ name, description, parameters: { text: { type: 'string', required: true } }, output: { schema: { type: 'string' }, render(_args, value) { return [{ type: 'text', text: value }] } }, async execute(args) { return args.text } }))` to give yourself a new tool — it becomes callable on your NEXT step. Tool parameters: each key IS a property — { type: 'string'|'number'|'integer'|'boolean'|'null'|'object'|'array'|'json', required?: true, description?, enum?, const?, items?, properties? }; every direct DSL object declares additionalProperties: true|false, and oneOf: [schema, schema, ...] replaces type for an exact-one union. A raw JSON-Schema { type: 'object', properties, required?: […] } wrapper is also accepted with open-by-default objects. A tool's `execute` MUST return the lossless JSON value declared by `output.schema`; `output.render(args, value)` separately returns Native/model content blocks. Temporary Plugins can COMPOSE: one Plugin may `ctx.provide('name', value)` a service and another may declare `inject: ['name']` to consume it — the consumer stays pending until the provider exists and returns to pending when the provider is unmounted. Everything registered inside `apply` is cleaned up automatically by cordis_unmount. Sandbox globals: `console` (tagged `[cordis:<id>]`, writes through to the harness terminal), `harness.defineTool`, `harness.registerTool`, `btoa`, `atob`, `TextEncoder`, `TextDecoder`. Node APIs are DISABLED — do filesystem/network/timer work through the cordis services, never Node built-ins: `require`, `setTimeout`/`setInterval`, and `fetch` throw redirect errors; `process` and `Buffer` are undefined. Instead use inject: ['fs'] + ctx.fs for files, inject: ['web'] + ctx.web for HTTP, inject: ['bash'] + ctx.bash for processes, and inject: ['timer'] + ctx.setTimeout/ctx.setInterval for timing (fiber effects, auto-cleaned when unmounted) — cordis_inspect what:\"api\" shows what THIS runtime provides. Write PLAIN JavaScript, not TypeScript (no `as`, no type annotations). Cautions: (1) waterfall events (e.g. tools/pre-execute) hand the listener a trailing `next` callback which MUST be called — returning without `next()` SHORT-CIRCUITS the call; prefer plain notification events unless you intend to intercept. (2) Never await something that only resolves after the current turn (your code runs INSIDE a tool call of that turn — it would deadlock). (3) Your `ctx` is a restricted façade: you can register tools, observe events, provide/consume services, and use timers, but framework internals (ctx.root, ctx.fiber, ctx.extend, ctx.plugin, …) are withheld. It is not a security boundary though — the services you inject (e.g. ctx.bash) reach the real runtime.","parameters":{"type":"object","properties":{"code":{"type":"string","description":"JavaScript body returning a temporary Plugin; evaluated now and saved nowhere."}},"required":["code"]}},{"name":"cordis_unmount","description":"Unmount a current-process temporary Plugin created by cordis_mount.

Each stage receives `(prev, item, index)`. An ordinary stage throw drops that ITEM to `null` and skips its remaining stages.\n- `parallel(thunks): Promise<any[]>` — run zero-argument functions concurrently and await ALL of them (a barrier; use only when a stage genuinely needs every prior result together). A throwing thunk resolves to `null`.\n- `phase(title)` — start a progress phase; `log(message)` — narrate progress; `args` — the tool call's `args` input, verbatim.\n\nMisused hooks (bad arguments, unknown options, unsupported schemas, tripped caps) throw errors that ALWAYS kill the script — they never dissolve into a per-item `null`.\n\nConstraints: concurrency and total-agent caps apply; no filesystem, network, timers, or Node.js APIs are provided — the agents do the work, the script only coordinates them.

Two forms: FUNCTION form `return (ctx) => { … }` — declares no inject, so it can register tools, listen to events, and provide services, but reaching ANY service (e.g. ctx.bash) throws; use it only when you need no services. OBJECT form `return { name?, inject: ['bash', 'llm', …], apply(ctx) { … } }` — declares dependencies, and cordis activates the plugin only after the services exist; PREFER this form. You may reach ONLY the services you list in inject: an undeclared service throws even if it exists, because an undeclared dependency would not be cleaned up if its provider is unmounted. BEFORE calling a service from your code, read cordis_inspect what:\"api\" — it lists method signatures AND the type shapes of their arguments/returns (do not guess a field's type; e.g. a bash run's stdout is an object, not a string). Inside `apply`, use the standard cordis API: `ctx.on(event, listener)` to observe events (see cordis_inspect what:\"events\"), or call `harness.registerTool(ctx, harness.defineTool({ name, description, parameters: { text: { type: 'string', required: true } }, output: { schema: { type: 'string' }, render(_args, value) { return [{ type: 'text', text: value }] } }, async execute(args) { return args.text } }))` to give yourself a new tool — it becomes callable on your NEXT step. Tool parameters: each key IS a property — { type: 'string'|'number'|'integer'|'boolean'|'null'|'object'|'array'|'json', required?: true, description?, enum?, const?, items?, properties? }; every direct DSL object declares additionalProperties: true|false, and oneOf: [schema, schema, ...] replaces type for an exact-one union. A raw JSON-Schema { type: 'object', properties, required?: […] } wrapper is also accepted with open-by-default objects. A tool's `execute` MUST return the lossless JSON value declared by `output.schema`; `output.render(args, value)` separately returns Native/model content blocks. Temporary Plugins can COMPOSE: one Plugin may `ctx.provide('name', value)` a service and another may declare `inject: ['name']` to consume it — the consumer stays pending until the provider exists and returns to pending when the provider is unmounted. Everything registered inside `apply` is cleaned up automatically by cordis_unmount. Sandbox globals: `console` (tagged `[cordis:<id>]`, writes through to the harness terminal), `harness.defineTool`, `harness.registerTool`, `btoa`, `atob`, `TextEncoder`, `TextDecoder`. Node APIs are DISABLED — do filesystem/network/timer work through the cordis services, never Node built-ins: `require`, `setTimeout`/`setInterval`, and `fetch` throw redirect errors; `process` and `Buffer` are undefined. Instead use inject: ['fs'] + ctx.fs for files, inject: ['web'] + ctx.web for HTTP, inject: ['bash'] + ctx.bash for processes, and inject: ['timer'] + ctx.setTimeout/ctx.setInterval for timing (fiber effects, auto-cleaned when unmounted) — cordis_inspect what:\"api\" shows what THIS runtime provides. Write PLAIN JavaScript, not TypeScript (no `as`, no type annotations). Cautions: (1) waterfall events (e.g. tools/pre-execute) hand the listener a trailing `next` callback which MUST be called — returning without `next()` SHORT-CIRCUITS the call; prefer plain notification events unless you intend to intercept. (2) Never await something that only resolves after the current turn (your code runs INSIDE a tool call of that turn — it would deadlock). (3) Your `ctx` is a restricted façade: you can register tools, observe events, provide/consume services, and use timers, but framework internals (ctx.root, ctx.fiber, ctx.extend, ctx.plugin, …) are withheld. It is not a security boundary though — the services you inject (e.g. ctx.bash) reach the real runtime. */\n  cordis_mount: {\n    /** JavaScript body returning a temporary Plugin; evaluated now and saved nowhere. */\n    code: string;\n  } & Record<string, JsonValue>;\n  /** Unmount a current-process temporary Plugin created by cordis_mount.

Use this for work that fans out across many independent pieces — an audit over many files, a migration, multi-angle research, adversarial verification of findings — where you write the orchestration as a script instead of delegating turn by turn. The workflow's identity rides the `meta` parameter as JSON: required `name` (short kebab-case) and `description` strings, optional `whenToUse` string and `phases` array (`{title, detail?, provider?, model?}`). The `script` parameter is the plain JavaScript body ONLY (NOT TypeScript, and NO `export const meta` statement — meta is a parameter, not code), running with top-level await; end with `return <value>` — the value must be JSON-serializable and is this tool's result. Script-body hooks: - `agent(prompt, opts?): Promise<any>` — run one subagent to completion. Without `opts.schema` it resolves to the child's final text; with `opts.schema` (an object-rooted JSON Schema using ONLY type/properties/required/additionalProperties/items/enum/const/oneOf — no pattern/format/numeric bounds) it resolves to the validated object. Resolves `null` when the child fails (filter with `.filter(Boolean)`). Other opts: `label` (display), `phase` (progress group), and independent `provider`/`model` LLM target overrides (either may be provided alone). Anything else (`effort`/`isolation`/`agentType`) is rejected loudly. - `pipeline(items, ...stages): Promise<any[]>` — run each item through the stages independently with NO barrier between stages (prefer this for multi-stage work). Each stage receives `(prev, item, index)`. An ordinary stage throw drops that ITEM to `null` and skips its remaining stages. - `parallel(thunks): Promise<any[]>` — run zero-argument functions concurrently and await ALL of them (a barrier; use only when a stage genuinely needs every prior result together). A throwing thunk resolves to `null`. - `phase(title)` — start a progress phase; `log(message)` — narrate progress; `args` — the tool call's `args` input, verbatim. Misused hooks (bad arguments, unknown options, unsupported schemas, tripped caps) throw errors that ALWAYS kill the script — they never dissolve into a per-item `null`. Constraints: concurrency and total-agent caps apply; no filesystem, network, timers, or Node.js APIs are provided — the agents do the work, the script only coordinates them.

Use this for work that fans out across many independent pieces — an audit over many files, a migration, multi-angle research, adversarial verification of findings — where you write the orchestration as a script instead of delegating turn by turn.\n\nThe workflow's identity rides the `meta` parameter as JSON: required `name` (short kebab-case) and `description` strings, optional `whenToUse` string and `phases` array (`{title, detail?, provider?, model?}`). The `script` parameter is the plain JavaScript body ONLY (NOT TypeScript, and NO `export const meta` statement — meta is a parameter, not code), running with top-level await; end with `return <value>` — the value must be JSON-serializable and is this tool's result.\n\nScript-body hooks:\n- `agent(prompt, opts?): Promise<any>` — run one subagent to completion. Without `opts.schema` it resolves to the child's final text; with `opts.schema` (an object-rooted JSON Schema using ONLY type/properties/required/additionalProperties/items/enum/const/oneOf — no pattern/format/numeric bounds) it resolves to the validated object. Resolves `null` when the child fails (filter with `.filter(Boolean)`). Other opts: `label` (display), `phase` (progress group), and independent `provider`/`model` LLM target overrides (either may be provided alone). Anything else (`effort`/`isolation`/`agentType`) is rejected loudly.\n- `pipeline(items, ...stages): Promise<any[]>` — run each item through the stages independently with NO barrier between stages (prefer this for multi-stage work). Each stage receives `(prev, item, index)`. An ordinary stage throw drops that ITEM to `null` and skips its remaining stages.\n- `parallel(thunks): Promise<any[]>` — run zero-argument functions concurrently and await ALL of them (a barrier; use only when a stage genuinely needs every prior result together). A throwing thunk resolves to `null`.\n- `phase(title)` — start a progress phase; `log(message)` — narrate progress; `args` — the tool call's `args` input, verbatim.\n\nMisused hooks (bad arguments, unknown options, unsupported schemas, tripped caps) throw errors that ALWAYS kill the script — they never dissolve into a per-item `null`.\n\nConstraints: concurrency and total-agent caps apply; no filesystem, network, timers, or Node.js APIs are provided — the agents do the work, the script only coordinates them.

Other opts: `label` (display), `phase` (progress group), and independent `provider`/`model` LLM target overrides (either may be provided alone).

Each stage receives `(prev, item, index)`. An ordinary stage throw drops that ITEM to `null` and skips its remaining stages.\n- `parallel(thunks): Promise<any[]>` — run zero-argument functions concurrently and await ALL of them (a barrier; use only when a stage genuinely needs every prior result together). A throwing thunk resolves to `null`.\n- `phase(title)` — start a progress phase; `log(message)` — narrate progress; `args` — the tool call's `args` input, verbatim.\n\nMisused hooks (bad arguments, unknown options, unsupported schemas, tripped caps) throw errors that ALWAYS kill the script — they never dissolve into a per-item `null`.\n\nConstraints: concurrency and total-agent caps apply; no filesystem, network, timers, or Node.js APIs are provided — the agents do the work, the script only coordinates them.

Keep answers brief and\nfactual.\n\n\nUse the read tool — not shell commands like cat — to inspect text files. Results include line numbers. Use offset and limit to continue reading large files.\n\nUse the write tool to create files or completely replace file contents. Existing files are overwritten, so read an existing file first (the default fs-policy requires it) and prefer edit for targeted changes.\n\nUse the edit tool for targeted changes to existing UTF-8 text files. It replaces literal old_string with new_string; by default old_string must appear exactly once. If old_string appears multiple times, provide a more specific old_string or set replace_all to true. Read the file first (the default fs-policy requires it), unless you just created or edited it in this session.\n\nCheck the [exit code: N] marker on every bash result; investigate failures before moving on.\n\nUse a terminal session only when work needs persistent terminal state or interactive stdin; prefer bash/read/write/edit for bounded one-shot operations. Track every terminal session id and close sessions that no longer matter. An inferred_idle or timeout result does not prove the foreground command exited.\n\nTrack every background task id you start. You are notified in-session when a task finishes — do not busy-poll or sleep on one; keep working on independent steps and do not duplicate a running task's work. Before giving a final answer, collect every still-relevant task with task_output (set wait: true only when you are genuinely blocked on it), and task_kill tasks that stopped mattering.\n\nUse the workflow tool ONLY when the user explicitly asks for a workflow or for large multi-agent orchestration: you write a JavaScript script (the tool description documents the exact format) that fans work out across many subagents with phases and structured results. For one or two delegations, prefer plain subagent calls.\n\nUse the ralph tool ONLY when the direct human explicitly asks for a Ralph loop or fresh-agent iterative execution. Each Ralph round starts a fresh child with no conversation seed and uses the shared workspace as durable memory. Completion and blockers are worker reports, not independent evaluation.

Use this for work that fans out across many independent pieces — an audit over many files, a migration, multi-angle research, adversarial verification of findings — where you write the orchestration as a script instead of delegating turn by turn.\n\nThe workflow's identity rides the `meta` parameter as JSON: required `name` (short kebab-case) and `description` strings, optional `whenToUse` string and `phases` array (`{title, detail?, provider?, model?}`). The `script` parameter is the plain JavaScript body ONLY (NOT TypeScript, and NO `export const meta` statement — meta is a parameter, not code), running with top-level await; end with `return <value>` — the value must be JSON-serializable and is this tool's result.\n\nScript-body hooks:\n- `agent(prompt, opts?): Promise<any>` — run one subagent to completion.

Other opts: `label` (display), `phase` (progress group), and independent `provider`/`model` LLM target overrides (either may be provided alone).

Each stage receives `(prev, item, index)`. An ordinary stage throw drops that ITEM to `null` and skips its remaining stages.\n- `parallel(thunks): Promise<any[]>` — run zero-argument functions concurrently and await ALL of them (a barrier; use only when a stage genuinely needs every prior result together). A throwing thunk resolves to `null`.\n- `phase(title)` — start a progress phase; `log(message)` — narrate progress; `args` — the tool call's `args` input, verbatim.\n\nMisused hooks (bad arguments, unknown options, unsupported schemas, tripped caps) throw errors that ALWAYS kill the script — they never dissolve into a per-item `null`.\n\nConstraints: concurrency and total-agent caps apply; no filesystem, network, timers, or Node.js APIs are provided — the agents do the work, the script only coordinates them.

 ## Collection model
 
-The model-facing tool collects synchronously by default: it awaits the child result and disposes the run before returning. One-shot background delegation registers a plain Task in the tool, whose generic status, collection, and cancellation tools own later interaction, and persists its model-supplied `description` as the optional display label. Continuable background delegation calls `ctx.subagents.startContinuable()` and returns only the durable child id; the child owns its own turns from inbox acceptance, so there is no Task and no result promise — a caller sends later work with the `send_message` follow-up tool, and `interrupt()` stops only the current turn without disposing the child, and the durable child Session remains the source of the child's detailed output. The continuation manager exists only while `ctx.agents` is available, and session persistence is resolved per continuation operation. Independently, `listChildren()` enumerates the live-preferred merge of the live session store and optional session persistence — live-only when persistence is absent, since a cold child cannot be resumed then either — and serves each child's durable mode/label from the registered `subagent` projection unit: the registry's watermark snapshot for a live child; for a cold one, a durable projection-cache row when it serves an own-suffix identity — its `seq` gate proves the value postdates the fork seed, where a child's own descriptor is immutable once appended — else one bounded-concurrency persistence inspection folded through the registry, whose result must still name the enumerated lifecycle (a re-published id degrades to a `corrupt` diagnostic). A throwing cache read renders no verdict — the cache is derived data — and silently falls through to that authoritative re-fold. The projection fold is the single classification authority; listing parses no descriptor itself. A served identity produces a child row; a settled candidate whose fold served no identity is a `corrupt` diagnostic, a failed inspection is a transient `unavailable` retried on the next listing, and a running candidate without an identity yet is omitted (the creation window before its descriptor is appended). It never consults the continuation manager, Agent registrations, Activations, or providers.

+The model-facing tool collects synchronously by default: it awaits the child result and disposes the run before returning. One-shot background delegation registers a plain Task in the tool, whose generic status, collection, and cancellation tools own later interaction, and persists its model-supplied `description` as the optional display label. Continuable background delegation calls `ctx.subagents.startContinuable()` and returns only the durable child id; the child owns its own turns from inbox acceptance, so there is no Task and no result promise — a caller sends later work with the `send_message` follow-up tool, and `interrupt()` stops only the current turn without disposing the child, and the durable child Session remains the source of the child's detailed output. The continuation manager exists only while `ctx.agents` is available, and session persistence is resolved per continuation operation. Independently, `listChildren()` enumerates the live-preferred merge of the live session store and optional session persistence — live-only when persistence is absent, since a cold child cannot be resumed then either — and serves each child's durable mode/label from the registered `subagent` projection unit: the registry's watermark snapshot for a live child; for a cold one, a durable projection-cache row when it serves an own-suffix identity — its `seq` gate proves the value postdates the fork seed, where a child's own descriptor is immutable once appended — else one bounded-concurrency persistence inspection folded through the registry, whose result must still name the enumerated lifecycle (a re-published id degrades to a `corrupt` diagnostic). A throwing cache read renders no verdict — the cache is derived data — and silently falls through to that authoritative re-fold. The projection fold is the single classification authority; listing parses no descriptor itself. A served identity produces a child row; a settled candidate whose fold served no identity is a `corrupt` diagnostic, a failed inspection is a transient `unavailable` retried on the next listing, and a running candidate without an identity yet is omitted (the creation window before its descriptor is appended). It never consults the continuation manager, Agent registrations, Activations, or providers. Each child row derives its read-time `hasChildren` hint from merged headers carrying durable `origin: 'subagent'`; it does not read descendant event logs, and the descriptor-backed child catalog remains authoritative when expanded. Service consumers such as a UI can retain both modes and choose a fallback for an unlabeled one-shot child; the model-facing `list_agents` tool projects only `continuable` entries and refines status through the live Agent registry and maps storage-only to its resumable-not-terminal `ready` (`running`/`idle`/`ready`) and walks `listDescendants()` for its `descendants` scope. The listing forwards the caller's signal to every persistence read, checks cancellation around each of those awaits, and reports every observed abort as `SubagentError` code `CANCELLED`; an unmounted projection registry fails loud with `SUBAGENT_CONTROL_PROJECTIONS_UNAVAILABLE`, and a missing session store with `SUBAGENT_CONTROL_SESSION_STORE_UNAVAILABLE`. See the [background subagent tasks Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-07-08-background-subagent-tasks.md), the [continuable background subagents Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-07-21-continuable-background-subagents.md), the [durable catalog Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-07-22-durable-subagent-catalog-and-list-agents.md), the [merged-service Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/simplification/2026-07-26-merge-subagent-control-service.md), the [capability-seam Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-06-21-subagent-capability-seam.md), and `src/types.ts` for the complete contracts.
 
 Continuable Activations await a best-effort final session flush without treating listener participation as durability confirmation. One-shot runs retain best-effort session checkpointing, so a completed one-shot child is discoverable after disposal only when its session actually reached persistence; the service does not invent a catalog entry from Task history when that checkpoint is absent.

 `interrupt_agent(agent_id)` passes `exec.agent` as the exact live ancestor authority for `ctx.subagents.interrupt()`: the target may be a direct child or a deeper descendant, and the service — never this tool — verifies the caller against the target Activation's recorded lineage. Only the target's current turn stops (`keepInbox`): queued messages stay parked until a later `send_message`, published descendants keep running, and the child stays available for follow-ups. The call returns as soon as the stop request is accepted, without waiting for target quiescence; an absent or already-settled target is an accepted no-op, while self, sibling, stale, and non-ancestor callers become errored results.

The `parent` annotation is the durable direct-parent session id and may name an ordinary session omitted from the output. For the calling agent, only depth-1 child entries are `send_message` candidates; deeper child entries are `interrupt_agent` candidates only. Status comes from the live Agent registry: `running` (active driver), `idle` (resident between turns, possibly waiting on agents it started), `complete` (storage only).
