The PR appended a superseded warning to one obsolete durability clause while leaving the same active decision record with mutually incompatible claims about Task-backed continuations, provider resume dispatch, and persistence guarantees. Because implemented Agent Notes are current authority rather than a review-history log, readers could still derive an API and ownership model that no longer exists.
Rewrite the affected decision, alternatives, and consequences in place around the activation-based implementation: ordinary starts remain holder-owned one-shot runs; continuable starts return durable child and accepted message identities; the manager owns materialization, follow-up/report routing, cold resume, and teardown; providers only contribute detached first-create data through prepareContinuable; and flush participation is observable but is not proof that a persistence backend stored state.
Keep the English and Chinese records equivalent, move the Chinese dispose glossary to its new first use, and refresh the pairing sidecar. This commit changes documentation authority only; it does not change runtime behavior.
Validated with the scoped translation-pairing writer and checker, verify-md-wrap, verify-agent-note-format, verify-agent-note-classification, and git diff --cached --check.
The 2026-07-27 intent-named operations note still declared that a
continuable provider requires `flush()` to resolve `true` at its final
result boundary and maps `false`/rejection to `DURABILITY_FAILED`. The
activation-based record (2026-07-28-continuable-subagent-conversations)
superseded that contract: the manager awaits the final flush as a
best-effort barrier and deliberately ignores the boolean, because listener
participation cannot identify a persistence backend.
Active notes are the current source of truth — sync both sides of the
bilingual pair by marking the old clause superseded with a link to the
record that replaced it.
Moves the RFC to implemented/, restates it as current-state prose under the
implemented note format, and records what the Task-backed continuable-subagents
note and the two subagent-service simplification notes retain versus what this
record replaces.
