The shared run driver lived inside dsh-subagent-spawn, so the spawn package carried fork-aware seeding logic and dsh-subagent-fork depended backward on dsh-subagent-spawn — the two in-process backends were not independent. Move the driver (startInProcessRun, depthOf, SubagentDepthError, InProcessRunOptions) into a new pure-library package @deepseek-ai/dsh-subagent-inprocess that registers nothing. spawn and fork now both depend only on that driver and neither knows about the other; spawn no longer re-exports it and fork no longer imports from spawn. Also wire BOTH backends in examples/coding-agent/cordis.yml (config-only): load dsh-subagent-spawn + dsh-subagent-fork + two dsh-tool-subagent instances with distinct toolNames (subagent → spawn, subagent_fork → fork), demonstrating that exposing multiple transports needs no code change.
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) |
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 ship here; the out-of-process dsh-subagent-acp and the test-only dsh-subagent-mock (in support) are separate. All product packages except the mock.
