Hypatia May 1db1cda464 fix(subagent): keep output past an empty terminal message with one selection rule
A max-tokens step that assembled only tool-call blocks appends an
EMPTY-content assistant/message (the usage host). Three consumers each
hand-rolled output selection and all let it erase the child's real
answer: the in-process readResult and the Activation subagent/end
capture took the last message unfiltered, and the SDK backend let any
message beat its streamed-text fallback; the in-process driver also had
no streamed-text fallback for cancelled turns.

dsh-subagent now owns the canonical rule in src/assistant-output.ts
(last non-empty assistant message, else the accumulated text-delta
stream) and all three consumers apply it. Regression tests in all three
packages fail under the previous selections.

Closes #1514

subagent/ — subagent capability family

English | 中文

This family lets an agent delegate work to child agents. Multiple named providers may coexist in one context.

Package Role ctx key
subagent/ Defines provider registration, delegation, and continuation ctx.subagents
subagent-inprocess/ Provides the shared in-process run driver
subagent-spawn/ Starts a fresh in-process child registers on ctx.subagents
subagent-fork/ Starts an in-process child from the parent's completed history registers on ctx.subagents
subagent-acp/ Starts an out-of-process child over ACP registers on ctx.subagents
subagent-codex/ Starts a real Codex app-server child registers on ctx.subagents
subagent-claude-code/ Starts a real Claude Code child through the official Claude Agent SDK registers on ctx.subagents
subagent-dsh-sdk/ Starts an out-of-process Harness child through the TypeScript SDK registers on ctx.subagents
tool-subagent/ Exposes delegation to the model registers on ctx.tools
tool-subagent-control/ Exposes child messaging and listing to the model registers on ctx.tools
tool-subagent-report/ Provides the child-to-parent report channel registers in child scopes
