The second PR of the subagent seam: the two in-process backends that run a
child agent on the same cordis context, reusing the agent factory's quiescent
AgentHandle teardown. Both register on ctx.subagents (PR1's named-provider
registry) and share one run driver.
- dsh-subagent-spawn: a FRESH child via ctx.agents.create — own session, the
parent's model by default (overridable), zero inherited conversation. Also
exports the shared in-process run driver (startInProcessRun): mint ids, stamp
cwd/parentSession-lineage/depth, drive the one-shot (send → whenIdle), read
the last assistant/message + turn/end reason, dispose to quiescence.
- dsh-subagent-fork: a child SEEDED with the parent's balanced completed-turn
prefix (the log up to and including its last turn/end), so the child inherits
context. The in-flight unbalanced turn is excluded — a raw seed would fail the
invariants replay. Proven: a regression test goes red if the boundary seeds
the open turn.
- Seam extension: CreateAgentOptions.seed, threaded through AgentLoop.createAgent
→ ctx.sessions.prepare({ seed }) (the primitive resume already used). This is
the fork-lineage path the TODO(sub-agents) markers anticipated.
- Depth: a merge-extensible AgentOptions.subagentDepth (0 top-level, parent+1 for
a child); the depthLimit capability refuses a spawn past request.maxDepth.
Tests: real-loop unit tests for both backends (mock MODEL only, real loop +
invariants), a multi-subagent test (one parent drives a fork AND a spawn child
then keeps working), and a with-key e2e (a real parent delegates via the
`subagent` tool to a real child that writes a file on disk — world-verified).
100% per-file coverage. The coding-agent demo wires the spawn backend + tool.
Snapshot coverage of nested agents is deferred to a stacked follow-up
(TODO(subagent-snapshots)): dsh-llm-replay is a single global positional cursor
that cannot route calls to a parent vs. a child on one context. Recorded in the
RFC's deferrals and a new AGENTS.md rule: designing a subsystem must design its
test infrastructure END TO END up front, verifying the snapshot/e2e harness can
express the new shape — a gap this plan hit.
support/ — dev/test/example infrastructure
Packages that exist to serve development, testing, and the examples rather than to ship as product API. They are real workspace packages (typed, tested, under the coverage gate), but they carry lower compatibility expectations: they may change or be removed when the development need behind them does, without the deprecation care a product package would warrant.
| Package | Role | ctx key |
|---|---|---|
invariants/ |
Dev-mode event-contract invariants + session-log freeze | (listens on session/*, agent/*) |
ui-stdio/ |
Minimal stdio (readline) UI plugin: renders agent/* events, feeds stdin lines to the agent |
(drives ctx.agents) |
llm-replay/ |
Record/replay adapter: short-circuits llm/stream from a recorded session JSONL (keyless snapshot tests) |
(listens on llm/stream) |
invariants runs only in dev mode (contract checks, not runtime behavior). ui-stdio and llm-replay were extracted from the examples for reuse and to bring them under the per-file coverage gate; they back the demos and the snapshot test tier. A package graduates OUT of support/ into a product group only when it gains documented product consumers.
