 #### What the model sees
 
-Through `dsh-tool-subagent`, the parent receives only the child's final assistant text (or accumulated partial text) or that consumer's exact stop-reason error, not intermediate messages or tool traffic. A non-completed result presents the safe diagnostic before separately preserved partial assistant output; startup and shutdown errors expose the same fixed facts without raw SDK text.
