PARALLEL FAN-OUT (important): action=create now runs the child in the BACKGROUND and returns immediately WITHOUT suspending the parent. To launch several agents in parallel, call create once per child (ideally several creates in a single turn), then call action=wait ONCE to suspend until they finish. Do NOT pass wait=true on each create for parallel work — that would serialize them (suspend after the first). action=wait defaults to waiting on every active child; if you forget to call it, the runtime auto-waits at the end of the turn so results are never lost. \
Use list/get to inspect existing children; use update/run/send_message/cancel/delete to manage existing children. Use only when the user explicitly asks for delegation/parallelism or when a side task would otherwise flood the main context. Do not use for simple one-step tasks. IMPORTANT: When a child fails or needs redirection, prefer send_message over creating a duplicate child. Use list before create to avoid spawning redundant children."
