Beyond the mechanical conflicts (provider capability lines vs master's new inheritsParentContext field; generated catalogs regenerated rather than hand-merged; knip/lockfile), three master-side reworks required semantic adaptation of this branch: - The persona rework removed AgentOptions.systemPrompt, which was the structured-output instruction's channel. The instruction now rides the SAME final-request enforcement listener that injects the schema'd tool: appended per request to final.system (per-request wire state, not agent prompt state). Tests assert the wire request (adapter.requests) instead of child.options; the bare-direct-dispatch test pins the no-system arm. - Tool guidance moved out of deployment prompts into per-tool prompt sections; the examples' workflow paragraph became a tool:<toolName> section contributed by dsh-tool-workflow (explicit-ask-only policy), and both example personas resolve to master's minimal identity+behavior form. tool-workflow gains inject: systemPrompt (+ peer dep, tsconfig ref); the export-shape guard updated. - The uniform-RFC-format gate: the dynamic-workflows RFC restructured to the implemented/ skeleton (bare Status line; Proposal -> Decision; What-was-rejected -> Alternatives considered; new Consequences), and the overall-run-timeout deferral is now recorded in the RFC's Deferred list. The doc-graphs atlas classification gains the workflows seam (workflow-vm implementation, tool-workflow consumer). Master's harness-identity section made "empty assembled prompt" states unreachable through the loop, so the instruction-append is a plain undefined-ternary and the structured tests assert append-not-replace. All snapshot goldens (including workflow-run) replay unchanged. Full local CI-equivalent gate sequence green on the merged tree.
@deepseek-ai/dsh-subagent-spawn
The in-process spawn subagent backend: a SubagentProvider that runs each child as a fresh child Agent on the same cordis context (ctx.agents) — its own session, its own (or the parent's) model, zero inherited conversation. The cheapest transport, reusing the agent factory's quiescent AgentHandle teardown.
The run mechanics live in the shared @deepseek-ai/dsh-subagent-inprocess driver (startInProcessRun); this backend just passes no seed (a fresh child). The fork backend is an independent peer over the same driver — neither knows about the other.
What it does
start(request) delegates to startInProcessRun(ctx, request, { providerName, structuredNudgeRetries }) with no seed: a fresh child agent with the parent's cwd/parentSession lineage and (by default) the parent's model. See the driver README for the full lifecycle (depth check, one-shot drive, result read, dispose).
Capabilities
{ outputSchema: true, depthLimit: true, toolFilter: false }. It constructs the child, so it enforces a recursion cap, and it supports structured output via the driver's shared structured runtime (the backend acquires it for its plugin lifetime; each structured run holds its own acquisition until it settles). Tool-scoping is deferred (the service rejects a request needing it before start runs).
Config

providerName |
Registry name on ctx.subagents (default spawn). |
structuredNudgeRetries |
How many times a structured run re-prompts a child that finished cleanly without calling structured_output (default 1). |
