Tianyi Cui aa0ca6c836 docs: anchor each subsystem page to its package group; make group READMEs thin tables
core.md read as a type grab-bag: LLM wire vocabulary up front, the agent/loop story buried, and no correspondence to packages/core. It now opens on the packages/core control spine — the package-by-package loop map with a Page column into session/system-prompt/tools/scope — and keeps only what the spine group declares plus the repo-wide patterns: the Agent handle with its delivery/cancellation/interception contracts, the SessionEvent envelope, branded ids, the …Map pattern. The conversation vocabulary (Message/ContentBlock, the model request, adapters — 17 type-equiv blocks) moves to llm-streaming.md, which now declares packages/llm end-to-end; the duplicate ContentBlockMap paste near its seam section folds into the moved section, and the manifest, LINK_MAP, README table rows, website label (Core data structures → Core), and inbound anchors follow.

Every packages/<group>/README pair is now a thin front door in one shape: a why-first intro (bash's seam-pattern-first paragraph rewritten as 'shell execution for the agent'), the package table, and a closing pointer to the owning docs/subsystems page — the bash-style table stays the load-bearing middle. Load-bearing trailing paragraphs relocate rather than vanish: the fs no-timeout rationale becomes a filesystem.md section (both languages), session's four sectioned tables merge into one 12-row table, examples' legacy-bin H2 collapses to a pointer at jsonrpc-demo's README, and design rationale that already lives in an Agent Note or subsystem page is now linked instead of restated. All 40 pair records re-recorded.

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

See the decisions for the capability family, continuable children, and control tools.

The subsystem reference — start requests, results, live runs, the provider seam, continuable background children — is docs/subsystems/subagent.md; design rationale in the subagent capability seam, continuable background subagents, and merged subagent control service Agent Notes.
