Tianyi Cui b82c310db3 Fix subagent in-process result scoping (Codex review round 1)
Two merge-blocking bugs in the shared in-process run driver, both rooted in
`readResult` scanning the whole child session and deriving the stop reason only
from `turn/end`:

- A pre-turn `cancel()` cleared the queued prompt before any `turn/end` was
  logged, so the run settled `error` instead of `aborted`, violating the
  `SubagentRun.cancel()` contract. The driver now tracks that a cancel was
  requested and maps the no-turn case to `aborted`.
- A fork child whose own turn produced no `assistant/message` returned the
  SEEDED parent's last message as a `completed` success. `readResult` now scopes
  to the child's OWN events (after the seed prefix), so a message-less child
  yields empty output.

Both fixes carry a regression test proven to go red on the pre-fix driver.

Also: correct the `SubagentRun.id` / event-payload docs (it is the child AGENT
id, not a session id — the backend mints distinct tokens); refresh the stale
`coding-agent` welcome string (subagent is now a tool); and replace the stale
`TODO(sub-agents)` "deferred" prose in the Agent interface, core.md, and
architecture.md with an accurate pointer to the realized seam.

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-spawn/ In-process backend: a fresh child agent (+ the shared run driver) (registers on ctx.subagents)
subagent-fork/ In-process backend: a child seeded with the parent's completed-turn prefix (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 ship here; the out-of-process dsh-subagent-acp and the test-only dsh-subagent-mock (in support) are separate. All product packages except the mock.

The proposal and design rationale: docs/rfc/proposed/feature/2026-06-21-subagent-capability-seam.md.
