Integrate the observed master checkpoint 7ab215e23e5d977aae7eb5d4fb91782d39969dbb without rewriting the earlier published checkpoints. Master adds current-directory events, directory-aware consumers, and retained Git worktrees; its old subagent startup paths overlapped the unified activation implementation. Resolve directory selection within managed startup after acquiring parent ownership. Preserve the original Session origin while setting each new local child directory, retain persisted directory state on cold resume, and pass a required absolute cwd to external providers. Keep unified local/external ownership, full completion notices, parked-input host completion, SDK wait/error/shutdown behavior, and ACP cancellation semantics. Retain removal of the old in-process driver and continuation managers. Combine SDK wait with the new directory requests, preserve the new master directory/worktree fixtures, regenerate derived catalogs from the combined sources, and refresh only the four stale prompt/schema sidecars. Preserve every protected historical schema, archived note, catalog-v2 acknowledgement, and recorded predecessor input. Validation: full build; 59 CI static gates; 855 subagent tests with 100% coverage on changed core/external sources; affected consumer suites including 119 repaired-fixture tests; SDK 11 and headless 16 recorded scenarios; two local headless expected cases; six built nested SDK/ACP cases; lint, strict cast inventory, workspace constraints, and whitespace checks. Native Windows worker diagnostics remain additive and require the next CI run to classify the original crash.

subagent/ — subagent capability family
English | 中文
Summary
The subagent package family lets an agent delegate a task to a child, continue the child's work, and discover every child it created. Choose a fresh in-process child for isolated work, a history-seeded in-process child when prior conversation matters, or an out-of-process child backed by ACP, Codex, Claude Code, or another Harness runtime. Model-facing tools also let agents message adjacent agents, interrupt work, and list child status. Each child remains visible to its parent whether it is running or stored; the package READMEs document provider-specific setup and limits.
