Each subagent receives isolated context and terminal session; parent orchestrates results. + +## Success Criteria +- Single `delegate_task` call with 10 tasks returns 10 summaries within 60s. +- Failure of one subagent does not block others; partial results are returned. +- No change to existing single-task behavior. + +## Scope +In scope: parallel dispatch, result aggregation, error isolation. Out of scope: persistent subagent pools, inter-subagent messaging. + +## Open Questions +- Should max concurrency be configurable beyond 10? +- Should subagents inherit the parent's model or allow per-task model pinning?
