Tianyi Cui 7cc7b9cf7f feat(subagent): enrich subagent/start + subagent/end lifecycle events (observe-only)
A hooks bridge translating SubagentStart/SubagentStop needs to know WHICH kind of
subagent ran and WHAT it produced — Claude Code's hooks carry subagent_type and the
child's final message. Enrich the existing lifecycle emits to match, observe-only:

- agentType: an optional caller-supplied subagent-kind label (CC's subagent_type),
  added to SubagentStartRequest and carried VERBATIM onto both subagent/start
  (SubagentRunInfo) and subagent/end (SubagentRunEndInfo). The seam never interprets
  it. dsh-tool-subagent threads it from a new optional Config.agentType, so a
  deployment exposing multiple subagent kinds (one tool load per kind) labels each.
- lastAssistantMessage: the child's final output (SubagentResult.output), added to
  SubagentRunEndInfo on the settle path so an observer sees what the subagent
  produced without holding the run. Absent on the reject path (no result produced).

Strictly observe-only: both events stay plain emits (subagent/end fires from a
detached .then and awaits no listener). A control-flow subagent/end (awaited
waterfall returning a decision) would need the emit→waterfall reshape, awaiting
listeners before settling, and a provider resume capability — deferred to the
background/steering redesign (FIXME(subagent-continuation) anchors it). RFC:

# @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-subagent
The model-facing `subagent` tool: delegate a self-contained task to a child agent and return its final output. Pure schema + lifecycle shaping over the [`ctx.subagents`](../subagent/README.md) provider registry — an in-process, ACP, or future A2A backend swaps in without changing what the model sees.
## Provider selection is config, not model-facing
This plugin binds to **exactly one** provider (`Config.provider`). The model sees only `{ description, prompt }` — there is no provider/type parameter in the schema. To expose more than one transport, load the plugin more than once, each bound to a different provider **and a distinct `toolName`** (the tool registry rejects a duplicate name, so a second load that kept the default `subagent` name would throw). Keeping selection in config (not the schema) is the deliberate split: the *service* holds a multi-provider registry; the *tool* picks one.
| Config key | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `provider` (required) | The `ctx.subagents` provider name to start runs on (`spawn`, `fork`, `acp`, …). |
| `toolName` | The model-facing tool name to register (default `subagent`). Set a distinct value per load when exposing multiple providers, e.g. `subagent` + `subagent_acp`. |
| `agentOptions` | Default per-child `{ model?, systemPrompt? }` applied to every spawned child. |
| `agentType` | Optional subagent-kind label (Claude Code's `subagent_type`) stamped on every run's `subagent/start`/`subagent/end` events, so an observer (a hooks bridge, a UI) can report or match on which kind ran. Set a distinct value per load when exposing multiple subagent kinds. |
## Lifecycle (synchronous collect)
`execute` starts a run on the configured provider and **awaits `run.result` inside a `try/finally` that always `dispose()`s the run** — the owned child agent/session is torn down on every path (success, error, abort), never leaked. The tool's abort signal (`exec.signal`) is bridged to `run.cancel()`. A non-`completed` stop reason (aborted/error/max-tokens/refusal) maps to an `isError` tool result rather than returning partial output as success.
Background / poll collection is deferred (see the [RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/feature/2026-06-21-subagent-capability-seam.md)); this cut blocks the parent turn until the child finishes.
