Introduce the `packages/subagent/` group and the abstract subagent seam — an agent delegating to a child agent — as a named-provider registry (`ctx.subagents`), unlike the single-implementation bash seam, so multiple transports (in-process, ACP, future A2A) coexist. This first PR lands the interface, a scripted test backend, and the model-facing tool, validated through the real cordis load path. - dsh-subagent: SubagentService registry + SubagentProvider/SubagentRun vocabulary + subagent/start|end events. Start-time capabilities (outputSchema, depthLimit, toolFilter) are checked pre-start and rejected loud; runtime capabilities (sendMessage, resume) are optional methods on SubagentRun. - dsh-subagent-mock (support): scripted provider for keyless, deterministic tests through the real Loader/export path. - dsh-tool-subagent: the model-facing `subagent` tool, config-bound to one provider; synchronous collect with try/finally dispose, signal->cancel bridging, and non-completed-stop-reason -> isError mapping. - Proposed RFC documenting the seam, the fork-vs-spawn-as-separate-backends decision, own-session isolation, synchronous-collect scope, and the deferral of background/poll/spill to a future unification with bash. - Wire the new group into tsconfigs, build refs, package hierarchy docs, the module graph, and the cordis catalog.

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 |
tool-subagent/ |
Model-facing subagent delegation tool over ctx.subagents |
(registers on ctx.tools) |
The interface lives at subagent/subagent/. Provider implementations live in their own packages — the in-process dsh-subagent-spawn / dsh-subagent-fork and the out-of-process dsh-subagent-acp — plus the test-only dsh-subagent-mock in support. All product packages except the mock.
