spec.onError is a caller-supplied callback boundary, but the flattening catch invoked it unguarded: a throwing sink rejected the whole async result, breaking the seam's "result never rejects on a child-level failure" contract (and docs/defensive-patterns.md's contain-callback-exceptions rule). The sink's own throw is now swallowed — named as such — while the original child failure still settles as stopReason 'error'. Regression test drives a spawn failure through a throwing sink and asserts result resolves. Same defect as the codex backend's, fixed there on PR #240; this is the symmetric fix for the already-merged ACP backend.
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 (pure lib; registers nothing) | — |
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 pure library — both depend on it, neither on the other), the out-of-process subagent-acp backend builds on the subagent-subprocess library (the credential env scrub, the dispose ladder, isolated config dirs) and ships alongside them here; the test-only dsh-subagent-mock (in support) is separate. All product packages except the mock.
