Tianyi Cui db6aed0459 fix(subagent): key the structured stage by execution identity, not call id
Codex confirmation-round finding: an OUTERMOST prepend pre-execute deny
skips the runtime's own pre-execute clear, and the denied call still
reaches post-execute — so a reused adapter-minted call id could promote an
orphaned stage on the default accept path. The stage is now keyed by the
ToolExecution OBJECT identity, the one token that provably ties a stage to
one pipeline trip: only the execution whose own body staged can commit,
whatever any call id says. The pre-execute clear is gone (one mechanism);
the commit's mismatch drop is now the reachable primary guard. Repro test:
orphaned stage + outer pre-execute deny with the same call id never
promotes; a fresh valid call still captures.

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.

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