Tianyi Cui 774d460889 Expose audited hardcoded tunables as plugin config
The audit swept every packages/*/* plugin for the new AGENTS.md
convention (no hardcoded tunables in plugins) and exposes each finding
as a defaulted, validated Config field. Defaults are the previously
hardcoded values throughout, so no deployment or golden changes.

- tool-fs (had NO Config): readLimit, readMaxLineLength, readMaxBytes,
  readStreamMinSize. The caps thread through ReadToolCaps/ReadWindow —
  read-render already documented that the consumer applies the caps, so
  they become explicit per-request fields.
- tool-web: searchMaxResults (WEB_SEARCH_MAX_RESULTS stays as the
  schemastery default). Also fixes the stale GREP_LIMIT references in
  search.ts and the web-capability-seam RFC (no such constant exists).
- bash-local: graceMs (SIGTERM->SIGKILL escalation grace). The
  RunInternals.graceMs test seam is gone: graceMs is now a required
  SpawnSpec field filled from config, so tests exercise the real
  config path and the defaults live in exactly one place.
- subagent-acp: disposeEofGraceMs / disposeGraceMs. The AcpRunSpec
  fields become required for the same one-defaulting-layer reason.
- session-persistence-sqlite: journalMode ('wal' default; the
  rollback-journal modes serve filesystems where WAL's shared-memory
  files do not work, e.g. network mounts).
- hooks-claude + hooks-codex: stderrSummaryMaxChars for the persisted
  hook/result stderr summary. The duplicated summarize() helpers merge
  into hook-protocol's summarizeStderr(stderr, maxChars), beside the
  HookResultRecord field it feeds, with the bound parameterized the
  same way runHook's defaultTimeoutMs already is.
- compact-basic: charsPerToken for the token estimator (default 4, the
  English-text heuristic; CJK-heavy deployments need ~1-2 or compaction
  fires far too late). Also corrects the BasicCompactService class doc,
  which claimed defaults the required-field config never had.
- fs-local: deletes the dead STREAM_MIN_SIZE constant and the dead
  FsIoInternals.streamMinSize seam — the read-routing bound lives in
  the consumer (tool-fs), where it is now config. This is item 1 of
  the proposed prune-write-only-fs-surface RFC, annotated accordingly.

Every new field gets range validation (following the existing
assertPositiveFinite pattern), a README row, and tests covering the
configured behavior, the schema default, and load-time rejection.

subagent/ — subagent capability family

The subagent seam: an agent delegating work to a child agent. Like the bash and llm families this is a capability seam (see capability seams) — but with one defining difference: multiple provider implementations coexist in one context, registered by name, rather than the single-implementation bash shape. The registry mirrors the LLM adapter registry.

Package Role ctx key
subagent/ Abstract subagent seam: named-provider registry + vocabulary ctx.subagents
subagent-inprocess/ Shared in-process run driver (pure lib; registers nothing)
subagent-spawn/ In-process backend: a fresh child agent (registers on ctx.subagents)
subagent-fork/ In-process backend: a child seeded with the parent's completed-turn prefix (registers on ctx.subagents)
subagent-acp/ Out-of-process backend: a child agent in a spawned subprocess, driven over ACP (registers on ctx.subagents)
tool-subagent/ Model-facing subagent delegation tool over ctx.subagents (registers on ctx.tools)

The interface lives at subagent/subagent/. The in-process subagent-spawn / subagent-fork backends share the subagent-inprocess driver (a pure library — both depend on it, neither on the other), and the out-of-process subagent-acp backend ships alongside them here; the test-only dsh-subagent-mock (in support) is separate. All product packages except the mock.
