feat(web): expose continuable subagent interrupt

The composer's single primary action now stops a running continuable
child: Session.cancel() routes a continuable address through
subagent.interrupt (ordinary sessions keep session.cancel; one-shot
addresses stay uncancellable), and InputBar switches the same Send button
to Stop while a continuable child runs. A running parent-offline child
keeps the default composer with disabled input so that Stop stays
reachable; the read-only takeover returns once it stops.

The generic Host domain preserves the same ownership boundary. `session.history` and the source side of `session.fork` read an attached Session or inspect persistence without acquiring an Agent; history folds cold projection values from that exact inspected prefix, while a fork publishes an ordinary independent session. Generic Agent-bound session, command, and goal routes return `agent-busy` for session-backed subagents, as do explicit-id `session.create` adoption and attached-only queue controls. The denial classifier accepts the coarse `origin` marker, a `subagent/descriptor` in the session's own suffix, or exact live runtime ownership by the parent; these signals only prevent generic ownership and never replace catalog mode or direct-parent authorization.
The ordinary Stop action is absent from addressed child conversations. `SubagentService.followup()` owns admission only until inbox acceptance and intentionally exposes no public child cancellation operation. A later cancellation design needs an explicit authority and lifecycle contract rather than falling through to `session.cancel`.
Stopping an addressed child never falls through to `session.cancel`. `SubagentService.followup()` owns admission only until inbox acceptance and grants no cancellation handle; a running continuable child is stopped through the dedicated `subagent.interrupt` route under the [current-turn interrupt contract](2026-08-06-continuable-subagent-interrupt.md), which parks pending work instead of discarding it. One-shot children remain uncancellable from the Web.
This decision covers Web discovery, transcript viewing, and parent-authorized human continuation. It does not make a subagent independently user-owned; that product remains [interactive side sessions](../../proposed/feature/2026-07-08-interactive-side-sessions.md).

Selecting a row records its exact address before opening the resident client `Session`. History pagination, event folding, tool render intents, titles, and live mux reconciliation reuse the ordinary conversation machinery. Breadcrumbs use catalog labels, follow parent links only through `origin: 'subagent'` rows, include the first ordinary owner, and keep ordinary forks single-level. Forking an addressed subagent creates an ordinary fork with direct source lineage and attaches it to the nearest workspace-owning ancestor. The catalog is an ARIA tree with lazy ArrowRight/ArrowLeft disclosure, linear ArrowUp/ArrowDown navigation, Home/End, Escape, and focus restoration.
A one-shot row always replaces the composer with copy explaining that the execution record is read-only. A continuable row does so only while `parentAvailable` is false. When enabled, its Send action admits another FIFO turn even if the child is currently running; it never becomes Stop. Prompt failures retain the draft through the ordinary error behavior.
A one-shot row always replaces the composer with copy explaining that the execution record is read-only. A continuable row does so only while `parentAvailable` is false and the child is not running; a running parent-offline child keeps the ordinary composer with its input disabled so the same primary Stop stays reachable, and the read-only takeover returns once it stops. With a live parent, Enter admits another FIFO turn even while the child runs, and the single primary action follows the ordinary running convention: Send while idle, Stop while running, routed through `subagent.interrupt` ([interrupt contract](2026-08-06-continuable-subagent-interrupt.md)). Prompt failures retain the draft through the ordinary error behavior.
Agent-bound auxiliary controls are unavailable in addressed child views. In particular, the model selector and `/model` contribution do not call ordinary `session.models` or `session.selectModel`; the Host also rejects any accidental call instead of activating persisted child history outside the direct-parent continuation seam.

- Parent availability, child activity, and `hasChildren` are snapshots. Publication, disposal, another sender, or another process may win after listing; typed prompt failure remains expected.
- A child may publish between history fetch and mux subscription, so the existing sequence reconciliation also covers the cold-to-live addressed path.
- Persisted origin adds one deliberately weak product-classification field to child headers and list projections; it cannot become an authorization shortcut.
- The UI has no child cancellation, durable outcome, Activation identity, deletion, or independently interactive offline mode, and its text must not imply those capabilities. Active-turn duration measures logged work rather than Activation residency.
