/**
 * The out-of-process ACP subagent backend: registers a {@link SubagentProvider}
 * on `ctx.subagents` that runs each child agent in a SPAWNED SUBPROCESS, driven
 * over the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) as the client. The parent process is the
 * ACP client; the child is any ACP agent (point the configured command at the
 * `acp-agent` example to "talk to our own process").
 *
 * Unlike the in-process backends (`-spawn`/`-fork`), the child does NOT share
 * this cordis context — it is a separate process with its own session, model
 * client, and tools. So this backend injects only `subagents` (no `agents`),
 * advertises NO start-time capabilities (an out-of-process child cannot enforce
 * the parent's depth/tool-filter), and ignores `request.parent`.
 *
 * Plugin export shape: named `name`/`inject`/`Config`/`apply`, NO default
 * export (the cordis Loader's `unwrapExports` does `exports.default ?? exports`,
 * so a stray default would drop the namespace — see docs/postmortem/0001).
 *
 * @module @deepseek-ai/dsh-subagent-acp
