+// Purpose: Sub-agent delegation — run a subtask in an isolated Loop with
+// its own session and context, returning only the result summary to the
+// parent (issue #153).
+//
+// The parent's context stays small because the sub-agent's full message
+// history is in its own session, never sent back. Budgets default to the
+// parent's; the caller can override per-subagent.
+//
+// v0: sequential delegation. Parallelism (multiple sub-agents at once)
+// is a follow-up — the SpawnSubagent signature is already designed for
+// it (one call per sub-agent, no shared state).
