Steer, inject, and followup now land as durable user/message events on the session surface; the steering/message event type and its ConversationNode kind are removed from the client projection. Update tests, docs, generated catalogs, and agent notes to match, and align the steering e2e fixture and prompt inventory assertions with the durable user/message landing.
subagent/ — subagent capability family
English | 中文
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/ |
Subagent service: named-provider registry, vocabulary, durable descriptor, and continuable-child orchestration | ctx.subagents |
subagent-inprocess/ |
Shared in-process run driver (no provider; one cleanup effect per run) | — |
subagent-spawn/ |
In-process backend: a fresh child agent, with cold resume | (registers on ctx.subagents) |
subagent-fork/ |
In-process backend: a child seeded with the parent's completed-turn prefix, with cold resume | (registers on ctx.subagents) |
subagent-acp/ |
Out-of-process backend: a child agent in a spawned subprocess, driven over ACP (one-shot) | (registers on ctx.subagents) |
subagent-dsh-sdk/ |
Out-of-process backend: a child harness runtime in a spawned subprocess, driven over stdio JSON-RPC through the TypeScript SDK client | (registers on ctx.subagents) |
tool-subagent/ |
Model-facing subagent delegation tool over ctx.subagents |
(registers on ctx.tools) |
tool-subagent-control/ |
The optional, globally named send_message and list_agents tools over ctx.subagents |
(registers on ctx.tools) |
tool-subagent-report/ |
Child-scoped report return channel for continuable in-process children |
(registers in each child scope) |
The interface and continuation orchestration live at subagent/subagent/. One-shot provider start dispatch stays independent of persistence; an internal continuation manager owns each durable continuable child as one Session plus at most one process-local Activation, binding no Task, and exists only while the Agent service is present, resolving persistence per continuation operation. The in-process subagent-spawn / subagent-fork backends share the subagent-inprocess driver (a library with no provider of its own — both depend on it, neither on the other), and the out-of-process subagent-acp / subagent-dsh-sdk backends spawn their children through the subprocess/ seam (the shared credential scrub, tree-scoped teardown, and dispose ladder). Tests replace only the child boundary with package-local fixtures.
