Why (roadmap: Next)
Complex tasks benefit from parallel read-only exploration. Full autonomous subagents multiply the governance surface, so v1 is deliberately read-only.
Sketch
- A
task-style tool that spawns a child run restricted to read tools (read_file, search_text, list_files, git_*, memory read).
- Child inherits the parent's resolved policy automatically (never re-resolves wider).
- Child gets its own audit chain whose
run_start carries the parent runId — same linking pattern as the session journal anchor (docs/DURABLE-SESSION.md).
- Results merge back as a tool result in the parent turn.
Constraints
- Registry allowlist enforced at the chokepoint, not by prompt.
- No recursion in v1 (a child cannot spawn children).
