dispose() ended stdin and sent SIGTERM in the same tick, so the child's EOF-driven quiesce had no window to run. The real acp-agent has no SIGTERM handler in a normal session — it flushes persistence and stops child-owned work via the server bridge's connection-close path (conn.closed → per-agent dispose → final session/flush), driven by stdin EOF, NOT by a signal. A prompt response can resolve from a turn/end before that post-turn flush lands, so the child still owes durable work when dispose runs; a same-tick default SIGTERM terminated it mid-flush, orphaning child-owned bash and dropping the flush. dispose now waits for the child's natural exit after stdin EOF first, then escalates SIGTERM (grace), then SIGKILL — a three-tier ladder. Add an `exitsWithin` helper for the bounded waits. Regression coverage: a new mock mode (MOCK_FLUSH_ON_EOF) flushes a marker asynchronously on EOF then self-exits; the tier-1 test asserts the marker lands (proven RED on the same-tick-SIGTERM ordering — child killed mid-flush). MOCK_IGNORE_EOF covers the middle tier (ignores EOF, dies on default SIGTERM); the existing MOCK_TRAP_SIGTERM test covers the SIGKILL tier.
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-spawn/ |
In-process backend: a fresh child agent (+ the shared run driver) | (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 and the out-of-process subagent-acp backends ship here; the test-only dsh-subagent-mock (in support) is separate. All product packages except the mock.
