Octocode Subagent

Host-agnostic delegation for local workers or independent remote agents. Flow: GATE → DECOMPOSE → ROUTE → PACKET → SPAWN → COORDINATE → SYNTHESIZE → CLEANUP.

Lobby rules

1. Spawn only when delegation changes speed, expertise, isolation, or context quality; otherwise keep work in the parent.
2. One bounded objective per worker; no nested spawning unless the host explicitly allows it.
3. Workers inherit no parent chat: every packet carries goal, scope, context, authority, constraints, evidence needs, and return shape.
4. Treat worker output as claims; re-check load-bearing anchors.
5. Barrier before synthesize — wait/list every live worker (or stop+remove); merge conflicts first; then answer.
6. Parent owns the user, synthesis, and mutations unless a packet explicitly transfers write ownership.
7. Pick the smallest capable configured model; declare file ownership before parallel writes. Stop when solo work finishes, two High options need a winner, three angles add nothing, a user/auth gate is pending, or no live workers remain.
