# @deepseek-ai/dsh-subagent-fork
The fork provider creates an in-process child seeded with the parent's completed conversation turns. It shares all run mechanics with spawn; the session seed is the only behavioral difference.
## Seed boundary
The parent's current tool-calling turn is still open when a subagent starts: its log contains the assistant tool call but not the matching tool result or `turn/end`. Copying that raw log would give the child an invalid, unbalanced session.
Fork therefore uses `completedTurnPrefix(parent.session.events)`: the contiguous prefix ending at the last `turn/end`. The child sees all completed parent turns and none of the in-flight turn. If the parent has not completed a turn yet, the seed is empty and the child behaves like a fresh spawn.
The seed transfers conversation history only. The child still receives a fresh flat registration scope; it does not inherit the parent's tool restrictions or authority.
## Start and capabilities
`start(request)` passes the completed-turn seed to [`startInProcessRun`](../subagent-inprocess/README.md) and awaits child publication. The shared driver owns cancellation, depth, customization, result reading, and disposal.
Fork advertises `{ outputSchema: true, depthLimit: true, toolFilter: true, persona: true }`, identical to spawn.
## Config
| Key | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `providerName` | Registry name on `ctx.subagents` (default `fork`). |
See [`dsh-subagent-spawn`](../subagent-spawn/README.md) for the run lifecycle, model inheritance, and depth tracking — all shared.
## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
- **Runs expose no `sendMessage`/`resume`** — the optional runtime capabilities are absent on in-process runs.
- **The seed is a one-time snapshot** — the child sees the parent's completed turns as of the fork and nothing the parent logs afterwards; there is no live context sharing.
