Coordinating another agent

Sidecar can start and coordinate a second agent in a shell it owns. The commands are headless, target-taking, and --json from birth, so everything here works from an ordinary shell with no TUI attached.

Agent control is behind a default-off feature flag. Check first:

sidecar agent list --json

If that answers {"error":{"code":"feature_disabled",...}}, agent control is off. Ask the user to enable it (agent_control under features.flags in ~/.config/sidecar/config.json) rather than turning it on yourself.

The safe sequence

Do these in order. Each step exists because skipping it is how a coordinated agent ends up wedged, duplicated, or typing into the wrong pane.
