Review fixes (ds-review-bot on #623): - Capture-at-delegation: the driver now reads overrideOf(parent.session) for both knobs synchronously before its first await, and the prompt-submit listener stamps those captured values — a parent switch racing the child's asynchronous creation belongs to the parent's future, not the child. The inheritOverride(parent, child) service method is split into its two halves (overrideOf / stampOverride) accordingly. - Veto safety: the one-shot prompt-submit listener registers with prepend: true, so a veto-capable listener (a denying UserPromptSubmit hook) cannot close the child's first turn without the durable stamp. Both regressions are pinned red-first in inheritance.spec.ts: the delegation-vs-late-switch race (delegate tool flips the caller wider while the creation transaction is pending) and a blocking prompt-submit listener (stamp survives a promptless first turn). Service contract tests renamed to the split API; READMEs and the bilingual Agent Note updated.
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-inprocess/ |
Shared in-process run driver (no provider; one cleanup effect per run) | — |
subagent-spawn/ |
In-process backend: a fresh child agent | (registers on ctx.subagents) |
subagent-fork/ |
In-process backend: a child seeded with the parent's completed-turn prefix | (registers on ctx.subagents) |
subagent-subprocess/ |
Shared out-of-process machinery: env scrub, dispose ladder, isolated config dirs (pure lib; registers nothing) | — |
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 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 backend builds on the subagent-subprocess library (the credential env scrub, the dispose ladder, isolated config dirs). Tests replace only the child boundary with package-local fixtures.
