**Token effect**: Forking duplicates retained completed history into separate child requests; the child then accumulates its own tokens independently. Persona changes repeated prompt cost, filtering changes schema or generated SDK cost, and a first-turn fork has no inherited history.
**KV Cache effect**: The child may reuse the inherited byte-identical prefix under the same provider and model. Persona, tool-filter, generated-SDK, or route changes may invalidate reuse before inherited history; later child history is append-only.
### Parent tool result, indirectly
**What the model sees**: The parent receives only the child's own final output through `dsh-tool-subagent`, not the inherited prefix or intermediate work.
**Token effect**: Parent input grows by one data-dependent final result retained until compaction.
**KV Cache effect**: Append-only; newly visible content follows the reusable request prefix and does not invalidate existing KV-cache entries.
## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
- **Runs expose no `sendMessage`/`resume`** — the optional runtime capabilities are absent on in-process runs.
