+`WorkflowStartRequest` gains optional `subagentProvider`. The worker-thread engine resolves that explicit per-run value before falling back to its configured provider, requires the selected normalized route to be registered before publishing the run, and uses it for every `agent()` call. The script cannot observe or replace this route. The ordinary `workflow` tool leaves the field unset and exposes no new model argument, so general workflow behavior and provider policy stay unchanged.

 The Ralph plugin's `subagentProvider` defaults to `spawn`. Immediately before a call it requires the named provider to exist, support structured output, and report `inheritsParentContext: false`; a fork-like or incapable provider fails loudly before workflow start. Provider lookup remains call-time because effect-scoped provider registration can change under HMR.

+### Per-run workflow child ceiling
+
+`WorkflowStartRequest` also gains optional `maxTotalAgents`. The worker-thread engine requires a positive safe integer no greater than its configured deployment ceiling and installs the resolved value in that run's worker limits before publishing the run. Ralph passes its resolved `maxRounds` as this ceiling, so the fixed loop's round budget and the generic runaway-child backstop cannot disagree. The ordinary workflow tool leaves the field unset and keeps the engine default.
+
 ### Ralph rounds and handoff

 The hierarchy is Ralph Run → Ralph Round → fresh child Turn → Step. One Ralph round creates exactly one child through the selected provider. Spawn gives that child a distinct session with no seed while preserving the parent's cwd, so the shared working tree is the durable authority and neither parent conversation nor prior child history enters the request.

 The fixed prompt passes only the immutable objective, current round and cap, a workspace-as-authority instruction, and the previous structured report. A `RalphRoundReport` contains `status: continue | complete | blocked`, `summary`, `evidence`, `nextSteps`, and `blocker`. Strings must be normalized; `continue` requires next steps and no blocker, `complete` requires evidence with no next steps or blocker, and `blocked` requires a concrete blocker. The script validates semantics and serialized size before the report can become the next handoff; the consumer validates the materialized terminal value again across the workflow seam.

-`maxRounds` defaults to `256` and is also the deployment ceiling for a call override. `maxHandoffChars` defaults to `16384`. Both are positive safe-integer config values, and oversized reports fail rather than being silently truncated. After a `continue` report at the last permitted round, the fixed script returns `budget-limited`; `complete` and `blocked` return immediately with the final report and number of rounds started.
+`maxRounds` defaults to `256` and is also the deployment ceiling for a call override. `maxHandoffChars` and `maxResultChars` each default to `16384`. All are positive safe-integer config values. Oversized handoffs fail rather than being silently truncated; `maxResultChars` separately bounds the complete successful parent-facing text, including its envelope and truncation marker, without changing cross-round state. After a `continue` report at the last permitted round, the fixed script returns `budget-limited`; `complete` and `blocked` return immediately with the final report and number of rounds started.
+
+The workflow language maps a normally settled but unsuccessful child to `null`. The fixed script detects that value before report validation and returns `round-failed` with the failed round plus the last successful handoff when one exists; the tool turns it into an error instead of misclassifying it as a malformed report or budget exhaustion. Ralph adds no retry policy. Fatal provider-start, transport, worker, and workflow errors remain generic workflow failures because the workflow seam does not carry a recoverable child report on those paths.

 ### Model and UI surface

 The model may supply only `objective` and optional `maxRounds`; provider selection, report schema, handoff cap, and script are deployment-owned. A fixed prompt section says to use `ralph` only when the direct human explicitly asks for Ralph or fresh-agent iteration, and distinguishes it from same-session goals, bounded delegation, and general fan-out workflows. This is guidance rather than a new goal UX state machine.

-ACP and terminal presentation use a generic `ralph` card whose raw input is the objective. The parent transcript retains the original tool call and one bounded terminal report, not intermediate child messages. Shipped headless, REPL/TUI, and ACP compositions load the plugin beside the existing workflow engine; JSON-RPC remains unchanged because its default composition does not expose workflows.

+`WorkflowStartRequest` 新增可选的 `subagentProvider`。工作线程引擎先解析这个显式的每次运行值，再回退到引擎配置的 provider；在发布运行前，它要求所选规范化路由已注册，并把结果用于每次 `agent()` 调用。脚本无法观察或替换此路由。普通 `workflow` 工具不设置该字段，也不暴露新的模型参数，因此通用工作流行为和 provider 策略保持不变。

 Ralph 插件的 `subagentProvider` 默认为 `spawn`。每次调用前，它要求具名 provider 已存在、支持结构化输出且报告 `inheritsParentContext: false`；类似 fork 或能力不足的 provider 会在工作流启动前响亮失败。provider 查找保留在调用期，因为效果作用域内的 provider 注册可能随 HMR 改变。

+### 每次运行的工作流子 agent 上限
+
+`WorkflowStartRequest` 还新增可选的 `maxTotalAgents`。工作线程引擎要求它是正安全整数且不高于已配置的部署上限，并在发布运行前把解析值装入该运行的工作线程限制。Ralph 把解析后的 `maxRounds` 作为此上限，因此固定循环的轮次预算不会与通用失控子 agent 后备限制冲突。普通工作流工具不设置该字段并保留引擎默认值。
+
 ### Ralph 轮次与交接

 层级为 Ralph 运行 → Ralph 轮次 → 全新子 agent 回合 → 步骤。每个 Ralph 轮次恰好通过所选 provider 创建一个子 agent。Spawn 给该子 agent 一个没有种子的独立会话，同时保留父级 cwd，因此共享工作树是持久权威，父对话和先前子 agent 历史都不会进入请求。

 固定提示只传递不可变目标、当前轮次与上限、以工作区为权威的指令，以及上一份结构化报告。`RalphRoundReport` 包含 `status: continue | complete | blocked`、`summary`、`evidence`、`nextSteps` 和 `blocker`。字符串必须规范化；`continue` 要求存在下一步且没有阻塞项，`complete` 要求存在证据且没有下一步或阻塞项，`blocked` 要求具体阻塞项。报告成为下一次交接前，脚本会验证语义与序列化大小；消费者还会跨工作流接缝再次验证实体化的终止值。

-`maxRounds` 默认为 `256`，同时也是调用覆盖值的部署上限。`maxHandoffChars` 默认为 `16384`。两者都是正安全整数配置值；过大的报告会失败，而不会被静默截断。最后一个允许轮次报告 `continue` 后，固定脚本返回 `budget-limited`；`complete` 和 `blocked` 会立即返回最终报告与已启动轮次数。

Turn-end flush failure is reported by the existing `agent/error` notification after `turn/end`; the driver finds that exact closed turn even when a concurrent one-shot injection appended a later turn, associates the failure with the exact attempt, and disarms before the next idle decision.

-Broad cancellation previously exposed only its effects after queues were cleared or the request aborted.

+Broad cancellation previously exposed only its effects after queues were cleared or the request aborted. The public agent vocabulary now includes observe-only `agent/cancel-requested(agent, reason)`. The concrete loop emits it for effective cancellation before either action; fused notification containment means a broken listener cannot veto cancellation. The goal driver uses this edge to clear its reservation before the loop destroys the queued-work evidence. When that reservation is a queued or admitted goal attempt, cancellation durably pauses the goal; when cancellation belongs to unrelated human work with no goal attempt, it only removes process-local activation. If the pause mutation throws, the driver falls back to disarming rather than allowing cancelled automatic work to restart.

 This is a coordination notification, not a second stop API. `Agent.cancel()` remains the only public broad cancellation verb, idle calls remain no-ops, and custom `Agent` implementations that claim the interface must honor the event ordering if consumers depend on it.

 ## Testing

-The unit suite uses the real agent loop and session service with only the model scripted. It covers exact sequential admission and cap enforcement, load/resume inertness, every outcome classification, rate limiting, request errors, max tokens, downstream prompt veto, pre-admission and in-flight cancellation, human-input ordering, queued and downstream revision races, forged goal attribution, failed mutation and turn checkpoints, scheduler and custom-agent failures, session-start reset, exact lifecycle retirement, and queued/running plugin teardown. The new driver source has per-file 100% statement, branch, function, and line coverage.

 A keyless Loader/stdio process test mounts the real goal domain, goal tools, goal driver, agent loop, persistence, and deterministic adapter through `cordis.yml`. One human turn creates a two-round goal; round one stops normally; round two reads the exact ref and completes it. The external JSONL assertion proves one session, round sources `1, 2`, unchanged round revision, final complete revision, five model steps, and no extra request after the terminal completion tool.

 The handle every plugin programs against:

- `agent.send(content, options?)` — queue a message; starts a turn when idle. Content and resolved source become one detached, deeply frozen lossless-JSON record before `agent/queued` and enqueue; invalid data throws synchronously, and caller or notification-listener in-place mutation cannot change the log or model input (`agent/prompt-submit` still rewrites by returning replacement content).
+- `agent.send(content, options?)` — queue a message; starts a turn when idle. Omitting `options.source` attests direct human input as `{ kind: 'user' }` and may authorize policy consumers, so plugins, schedulers, and other non-human producers provide their own source. Content and resolved source become one detached, deeply frozen lossless-JSON record before `agent/queued` and enqueue; invalid data throws synchronously, and caller or notification-listener in-place mutation cannot change the log or model input (`agent/prompt-submit` still rewrites by returning replacement content).
 - `agent.steer(content, options?)` — steer a running turn (inject between steps); uses the same owned acceptance boundary and behaves like `send` when idle
 - `agent.inject(content, options?)` — accept detached in-session context without running the model; the next request sees its `context/message`. `options.envelope` defaults to the canonical `<context>` framing and may be `'raw'` when the caller owns a complete familiar frame; `options.meta` persists opaque JSON state without rendering it. While a turn is open it joins that turn, deferring FIFO while the current tool batch executes and draining before turn close if execution is interrupted; while idle it is wrapped in a one-shot `injection` turn and durability checkpoint ([the turn-enclosure invariant](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-06-15-turn-enclosure-invariant.md)).
 - `agent.cancel(reason?)` — cancel ALL pending work: an effective call emits `agent/cancel-requested` before it clears the queued + steering FIFOs, aborts the in-flight step, and drops a turn about to start (the pre-step window). Observers may synchronize their own state but cannot veto cancellation. A UI/ACP `session/cancel` maps to this. The single public stop primitive. Idle with nothing pending → a safe no-op with no notification.

 Control words are case-insensitive only when they occupy the complete input. Every other non-empty suffix is an objective, so `/goal pause after verification` creates that literal objective. The goal domain trims and validates objectives. Because the generic command plane has no modal editor or confirmation primitive, `edit` takes its replacement inline and an unfinished replacement returns a direct error instructing the user to edit or clear.

+The TUI and ACP demo apps enable the complete persisted-goal stack and this command by default; `goals: false` removes both. The terminal app's readline mode keeps the model-mediated goal stack but does not mount this producer because that front door does not consume commands.
