acp.md *Subagents in an agent chat*: capability agents carries the chat's {min, max} (and
subagents: false) down on every turn and _lembas/configure, said (the person's earlier words)
on session/new; the tree, progress, approvals, findings and transcripts come up; what the server
keeps. subagents.md §14. team.json: ten 3.4.0 cases (only the main agent, sub-managers and parent,
slots, modes and request options, whoami, finish, findings, running out of context and replacing,
requests and decisions, assign); a member's own task is refused only_main. subagents.md: the
subagents under a sub-manager that ended by itself move under its parent until it is replaced.

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.

loop.json subagents.setting: min/max are "Min" and "Max" (not fewest/most), with a hint and a short
form saying the numbers include the session's own agent - 1 is the agent alone, Max 4 the agent and
up to three subagents. team.md §2 and subagents.md §4 state that, and the UI rule: one range from 1
to the cap with two handles (a slider; two numbers on one line in a terminal). team_add says the
size includes the caller. Conformance team: max 2 is the lead and one task subagent.
Still 3.3.0, unreleased: edited in place.

- "Subagent" in every text a person or a model reads; "helper" retired
(the team area's step helper_done is now task_done).
- A subagent runs on the session's model unless the person named another
in this session's own messages; task's and team_add's `model` is refused
otherwise. No setting chooses a subagent's model.
- Capacity: another model on the session's model's one-model server is
refused; the session's model as its own subagent needs parallel >= 2 or
no limit; no fallback.
- The agents {min, max} setting is shown as Subagents, offered when a model
could serve; context.note.team_own when the session's model cannot.
- subagents.md, loop.json subagents, conformance/subagents.json (26 cases).

team.md: a lead adds members (team_add) that work in the background on
the parts they own; members may lead areas of their own. The chat
setting agents {min, max} (defaults 1/4, an instance cap of 32) bounds
the whole tree, task helpers included; a team is offered only where
subagents are enabled and the model serves two requests at once
(capacity.parallel). A manager's work calls — risk write or execute,
bar job_stop and reading bash — answer a fixed refusal while the tool
list stays unchanged. The room: team_send to names or all, delivered
under "[Team message from X to Y:]" at the next step or waking a
finished member; a member's final reply is its report to its manager;
team_read shows the tree and the visible part of the room; team_stop
stops a subtree. Past the model's capacity a member waits for a slot,
the lead first. Size notes in context.note; texts in loop.json team;
prompts blocks/team_lead.md and team_member.md; tools allowed by
default. Conformance area team, written from a reference model.
The CLI embeds the new tool and prompt files; its tools are pending.
