docs(subagent): record the public interrupt in the continuation contract docs

The continuable-subagent core-data page and the continuation lifecycle
Agent Note claimed no public subagent cancellation existed; interrupt()
is now that one public stop. Both pages and their Chinese counterparts
state the shipped contract and link the owning interrupt note.

### Durability, disposal, and recovery
Without Tasks there is no `task_output`, `task_kill`, Task status, per-message result promise, or public subagent cancellation operation. The caller signal can abort start or follow-up only before inbox acceptance. After acceptance, the parent cannot cancel the message, turn, or Activation through `ctx.subagents`; `Agent.cancel()` remains a lower-level Agent capability that this version does not expose through the subagent service.
Without Tasks there is no `task_output`, `task_kill`, Task status, or per-message result promise. The caller signal can abort start or follow-up only before inbox acceptance. After acceptance, the parent cannot cancel the accepted message or dispose the Activation through `ctx.subagents`; the only public stop is the later [current-turn interrupt](2026-08-06-continuable-subagent-interrupt.md), which cancels the live target's current turn with `keepInbox` and leaves residency, pending work, and descendants intact.
Host and manager teardown remains the lifecycle stop path. Manager unload applies it globally; a host applies it only below the exact top-level Agents it owns. Each form closes the applicable admission scope, stops the selected visible Activations, awaits admitted materializations in that scope, releases child-first, and preserves the durable Sessions.

This version covers continuable in-process children and leaves one-shot delegation unchanged. Remote providers require a separate Activation handle with equivalent authenticated control and child-first quiescence contracts before they can support the same behavior.
It adds no host-user continuation, subagent steering operation, durable mailbox, cross-process lease, automatic replay of interrupted inbox work, team authority, workflow authority, public subagent cancellation operation, public residency query, new live-Activation or descendant limit, or runtime cache. Existing delegation-depth policy remains unchanged. Optional child-to-parent reporting is a later consumer of this lifecycle rather than part of the base continuable capability.

- `followup()` accepts only the exact live direct parent and rechecks that identity at the final no-await inbox-admission boundary after any materialization; durable message provenance cannot authorize delivery.
- Continuation messages always use `Agent.followup()` and share its inbox FIFO, including when the child already has an open turn.
- `ctx.subagents.followup()` and its `send_message` adapter return only the accepted `MessageId`; the continuation layer accepts no delivery target and defines no subagent-specific route result.
- This version exposes no public subagent cancellation operation; caller signals stop start and follow-up only before inbox acceptance, while host-scoped and manager-global teardown retain child-first cleanup.
- Caller signals stop start and follow-up only before inbox acceptance, while host-scoped and manager-global teardown retain child-first cleanup; the [current-turn interrupt](2026-08-06-continuable-subagent-interrupt.md) is the one public stop and does not enter teardown.
- This version exposes no subagent steering operation or current-turn controller state.
- An idle Agent with live owned children yields a `waiting` Activation whose `AgentHandle` remains retained.
- A `next-turn` delivered to `waiting` wakes the same Activation; delivery after completed disposal cold-resumes a new Activation.
