The agent-scope-contexts RFC (implemented) records the decision tree: the dsh-scope primitive over cordis extend/Context.filter/no-op fibers, two-level flat scope with shadowing, restriction/grant semantics, the scoped-dispatch rule with fused helpers, the setup window, and the alternatives (explicit scope params, isolate, event-filtering-only, vendored support) with why each lost. CONTEXT.md pins the glossary. architecture.md gains the Agent Scope section, the dsh-scope spine row, the scoped turn-flow line, and an extension-table row (ceiling 1640→1790: the two-layer registration model is a new architectural axis; additions are condensed to pointers). READMEs of every touched package re-state their scoped facts; the stale structured-runtime README section is replaced by the scoped-registration description.
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-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), and the out-of-process subagent-acp backend ships alongside them here; the test-only dsh-subagent-mock (in support) is separate. All product packages except the mock.
