fix: address PR #1802 review round
- listChildren reads the session store via strict ctx.get (property proxy is caller-scoped), orders candidates branchlessly, narrows the cold-read return type, and pins the cost model and store/registry composition gaps with tests; per-file coverage restored - acp-agent and headless-agent compositions mount session-projection; a keyless snapshot pins the descriptor-less diagnostic row - api-proxy cold spec pins header-origin ownership and the legacy descriptor-only opt-out - design note ships as implemented with its English pairing; companion notes and core-data-structures pages synced

The subagent seam — an agent delegating work to a child agent. Like [bash](bash.md) it is **one optional capability**, not part of the agent-loop spine, so its vocabulary lives here rather than in [core.md](core.md). But it differs from every other seam on one axis: **multiple provider implementations coexist** in one context, registered by name (`ctx.subagents`), where bash allows only one executor. The registry shape mirrors the [LLM adapter registry](llm-streaming.md), not the single-service bash executor.

The descriptor (`SubagentDescriptorData` in [descriptor.ts](../../packages/subagent/subagent/src/descriptor.ts)) is a mode-discriminated durable identity for every session-backed subagent. Both modes carry the provider name. A `one-shot` descriptor optionally carries a caller-owned display `label`; a `continuable` descriptor requires the delegation `description` as its durable creation label and additionally snapshots resolved child `agentOptions.provider`/`model` and optional `persona`/`toolFilter` for cold resume. It never snapshots the merge-extensible `AgentOptions` object, so an unrelated extension value cannot break continuation and a later composition input is a deliberate version change. It omits `subagentDepth` (cold resume trusts the persisted header's `delegationDepth` as the monotone floor) and `outputSchema` (one run or Activation's result contract, not durable identity).

A local one-shot provider appends the descriptor inside the child's initial turn before its first request. The continuation manager appends the descriptor after any provider-supplied lineage and before the initial prompt is admitted; `header.seedLength` remains the fork-lineage boundary, so descriptor lookup reads the child's own suffix. The event is log-only: no `surfaceOp`, never in model history, and retained across compaction by the append-only log. Malformed current-version descriptors are corrupt; unsupported versions cannot be classified by this runtime.

## Durable enumeration: `listChildren()` and `SubagentListEntry`
|
||||
|
||||
`SubagentService.listChildren(parentSessionId)` enumerates the parent's direct session-backed subagents from one `ctx.sessionQuery.traceSession()` observation, without loading or resuming any Agent. Session lineage is broader than subagent identity — ordinary forks share `parentSession` — so exactly one supported `subagent/descriptor` event in the child's own suffix (after `seedLength`, so a fork seed cannot leak an ancestor's descriptor) is the sole subagent discriminator. `SessionHeader.origin: 'subagent'` is only a coarse product-navigation classifier stamped before publication; it can suppress duplicate sidebar rows but cannot establish a valid descriptor, resumability, or authorization. The result is one `SubagentListEntry[]` in the trace's `createdAt`-then-id candidate order: a valid descriptor yields a `child` entry with `mode: 'one-shot' | 'continuable'` and `activity: 'running' | 'inactive'`; continuable entries always carry `label`, while one-shot entries carry it only when the start caller supplied presentation metadata. A per-child inspection failure yields a `diagnostic` entry (`corrupt`, `unsupported`, or `unavailable`) so one damaged sibling cannot hide healthy children; a missing descriptor yields no entry. Activity snapshots only whether the logical record is live in `ctx.sessions`, not outcome or resumability. A service consumer such as a UI can display both modes and choose an unlabeled one-shot fallback, while the model-facing `list_agents` adapter (the separately loadable `/list-agents` plugin of [dsh-tool-subagent-control](../../packages/subagent/tool-subagent-control)) keeps only continuable entries and maps activity to its existing `running`/`complete` vocabulary. A failure while building the initial trace fails the whole call — per-child isolation begins only after a trustworthy candidate set exists. The service keeps `sessionQuery` optional for by-id continuation: `listChildren()` throws `SubagentError` with code `SUBAGENT_CONTROL_SESSION_QUERY_UNAVAILABLE` when it is absent, while the list tool requires `ctx.subagents` and `ctx.sessionQuery` at plugin load. Listing does not consult the continuation manager's Activation map, Agent registry, or provider availability; `send_message` remains the authoritative delivery-time operation, and a listed running continuable child may still reject delivery as an ownership conflict.

`SubagentService.listChildren(parentSessionId)` enumerates the parent's direct session-backed subagents from the live-preferred merge of `ctx.sessions.list()` and optional `ctx.sessionPersistence.list()` — no query seam, and no Agent is loaded or resumed. Candidates are the direct children whose durable header carries `origin: 'subagent'`; the marker classifies enumeration and coarse generic-route denial but cannot establish a valid descriptor, resumability, or authorization — the projection fold owns identity, and the Activation contract owns resume. Each row's `mode`/`label` is the registered `subagent` projection unit's value, served from the registry's watermark cache for a live child (zero log reads) and folded once over one `persistence.inspect()` reading for a cold one (bounded concurrency, recomputed per listing — no cache). The fold is `subagent/descriptor` last-wins with no failure channel: the child's own descriptor overrides a fork-seeded ancestor's, and a malformed or unknown-version payload folds to no value. The result is one `SubagentListEntry[]` in `createdAt`-then-id order: a served identity yields a `child` entry with `mode: 'one-shot' | 'continuable'` and `activity: 'running' | 'inactive'`; continuable entries always carry `label`, while one-shot entries carry it only when the start caller supplied presentation metadata. A settled candidate whose fold served no identity yields a `corrupt` diagnostic — missing, malformed, and unknown-version descriptors deliberately undistinguished, with `unsupported` kept in the type for consumers already routing on it but no longer produced; a running candidate without an identity is omitted (the creation window before its descriptor lands); a failed cold inspection yields one `unavailable` diagnostic retried on the next listing, so one damaged sibling cannot hide healthy children. `hasChildren` marks a direct descendant with durable subagent origin, read from the same merged material. Activity snapshots only whether the logical record is live in `ctx.sessions`, not outcome or resumability. Absent persistence, enumeration is live-only rather than an error — a cold child cannot be resumed then either. `listChildren()` throws `SubagentError` with code `SUBAGENT_CONTROL_PROJECTIONS_UNAVAILABLE` when the `ctx.sessionProjections` registry is absent, checked before any read so a deployment with zero children still fails deterministically; the list tool requires `ctx.subagents` at plugin load. A service consumer such as a UI can display both modes and choose an unlabeled one-shot fallback, while the model-facing `list_agents` adapter (the separately loadable `/list-agents` plugin of [dsh-tool-subagent-control](../../packages/subagent/tool-subagent-control)) keeps only continuable entries and maps activity to its existing `running`/`complete` vocabulary. Listing does not consult the continuation manager's Activation map, Agent registry, or provider availability; `send_message` remains the authoritative delivery-time operation, and a listed running continuable child may still reject delivery as an ownership conflict. The read-path rationale lives in [the list-identity-projection Agent Note](../../.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-08-06-subagent-list-identity-projection.md).
