Tianyi Cui 280233ba78 fix review finding: the capture commits only on the final post-execute accept
The cross-seam blocker: structured_output recorded its value in the tool
BODY, before tools/post-execute could block the call — a PostToolUse hook's
block turned the logged result into isError while readResult still returned
structured success and the continuation veto ended the turn.

Two-phase commit: the body validates and STAGES (RunState.pending); a fourth
runtime listener on tools/post-execute — prepend, so await next() returns the
composed final decision — promotes the stage to captured only on an accepted
call, and clears it on every path. A block now yields a consistent pair: the
model and log see the isError feedback, the run settles error with no
structured value, and the turn continues so the model can react. Regressions:
block denies the capture end-to-end; accept-with-replacement still commits.

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)
subagent-acp/ Out-of-process backend: a child agent in a spawned subprocess, driven over ACP (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 the out-of-process subagent-acp backend ships alongside them here; the test-only dsh-subagent-mock (in support) is separate. All product packages except the mock.

The proposal and design rationale: docs/rfc/implemented/feature/2026-06-21-subagent-capability-seam.md.
