Hypatia May 567fcadba0 fix(subagent): report resumable children as ready
list_agents called a storage-only continuable child 'complete', inviting
parents to poll it for a result that will never appear there. Rename the
status to 'ready' — resumable, not terminal — and rewrite the tool
description to say a parent is told when a child finishes, so listing is
for recall, not polling.

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
