Harness spec 3.4.0: progress phases, and subagents v2 — the main agent and its tree
ci / check (push) Waiting to run

progress.md: thirteen fixed phases (queued … failed), each { phase, since, data },
their texts as shared i18n keys (loop.json progress), one line every client draws,
sent beside the old status text in /api/v2 and over the link (capability progress).

subagents.md §5–§13 (supersedes team.md where they differ): only the main agent
adds, assigns, replaces, stops and decides; sub-managers direct those placed under
them; ids, positions, parents; Min above 1 opens slots; permissions inherited and
never widened, request options decided by the main agent, what nobody in the tree
can allow goes to the person; team_finish, findings, running out of context;
transcripts read-only; the tree over the link (capability tree). New tools
team_whoami, team_finish, team_findings, team_request, team_decide, team_assign,
team_replace. Conformance: progress, delegation; team updated.

"about": "Delegation (subagents.md §7, spec 3.4.0): a subagent's mode and request options, and who decides its calls. The project root is /project, nothing named exists on disk, and only the default rules apply (permission/defaults.json). `add` — team_add's mode check for a parent in `parent_mode` with `mode` and `request` as given → `{result, mode}`: the refusal word for word, or null and the mode the subagent gets. `call` — a subagent in `mode` with `request` options and `grants` (rules {tool, pattern} the main agent allowed) under a main agent in `main_mode`, calling `call` (`bash` with a `line`, or a file tool with a `path` relative to the root) → `{answer, text?}`: `run`, `person` (an approval card to the person), or `refused` with its text where the case gives one (a hardline's reason is each project's). `unattended`: nobody can answer. `request` — team_request for `tool` by a subagent with `request` options, its first → `{result}`. `switch` — the main agent's mode changes from `main_from` to `main_to` with these subagents (each with its parent and mode) → each one's mode after.
