Tianyi Cui a7a5be1703 docs(notes): archive low-future-value Agent Notes
Run the dsh-archive-agent-notes audit over every active Agent Note on
current master, judging each record by whether its rationale still guides
work rather than by size or age.

- Archive 453 implemented bilingual triplets (417,882 English words):
  completed UI chrome, narrow adapters, closed bug fixes, implementation
  walkthroughs whose package READMEs, docs pages, generators, or successor
  notes now carry the useful behavior, and 51 records fully superseded by
  a later active note. Keep 201 implemented notes whose ownership rules,
  negative guarantees, durable or wire semantics, security rules,
  reintroduction conditions, or still-tempting rejected alternatives
  remain useful.
- Reject 7 proposals whose premise is gone or whose work shipped in
  amended form under other records; delete 2 rejected notes that no
  longer prevent a plausible mistake.
- Retarget every remaining inbound link to the archived path, and repair
  active prose that named an archived record as the owner of a live fact:
  parenthetical citations drop, ownership sentences redirect to the
  README, docs page, or active note that states the fact, and history
  citations say so. Chinese files link the English archived path because
  the pairing gate treats the frozen tree as outside the bilingual corpus.
- Seal 1,359 new frozen artifacts; existing seals are unchanged and
  outbound links from archived notes are neither inspected nor repaired.
- Regenerate docs/config-catalog.md after the hook-bridge comment edits
  shifted two source line numbers.

The subagent package group: the delegation seam, its in-process and out-of-process backends, and the model-facing delegation tools. package-group

subagent/ — subagent capability family

English | 中文

Summary

The subagent group is the delegation family: it lets an agent hand a task to a child agent, wait for or continue the child's work, and keep every child discoverable. One contract (ctx.subagents) serves any number of named providers, so a single composition can mix in-process children (fresh, or forked from the parent's completed history) with out-of-process children — an ACP agent, a real Codex or Claude Code installation, or a complete Harness runtime over the SDK. The model-facing tools expose delegation, adjacent-Agent messaging, and listing to agents, and a parent can always see which children exist and whether they are live or stored. This page maps the group; each package README owns its package contract.
