Delegate Tool -- Subagent Architecture
Spawns child AIAgent instances with isolated context, restricted toolsets,
and their own terminal sessions. Supports single-task and batch (parallel)
modes. The parent blocks until all children complete.
Each child gets:
- A fresh conversation (no parent history)
- Its own task_id (own terminal session, file ops cache)
- A restricted toolset (configurable, with blocked tools always stripped)
- A focused system prompt built from the delegated goal + context
The parent's context only sees the delegation call and the summary result,
never the child's intermediate tool calls or reasoning.
