feat(subagent): activation-based continuable subagents (source)

Replace the Task-backed continuation manager with one durable Session plus at
most one process-local Activation — a residency epoch for a reconstructed child
Agent, not a request, result, cancellation, or Task boundary. The manager owns
activation admission, authority, the live ownership graph, cold resume, and
child-first disposal; the Agent inbox is the only turn FIFO.

- startContinuable() is async and returns { childId, messageId } at inbox
  acceptance; followup() takes a SubagentAuthority and returns AgentMessageId.
- SubagentProvider.resume?(), SubagentProviderResumeRequest, SubagentRun.steer?(),
  SubagentProviderStartRequest and SubagentContinuation are deleted;
  prepareContinuable?() is the continuable-creation capability.
- Cold resume calls ctx.agents.resume() from the manager through a private
  activation-owner scope, never dispatching through a provider.
- Extract shared child composition, descriptor seeding, depth accounting, and
  one-shot run settlement so the manager and one-shot driver keep one home
  per fact.

Tests and docs follow in subsequent commits.
