The basis SDK: workspace discovery, run lifecycle, one event stream, and the two seams. No protocol, no transport, no TTY.

//! What the model reads to learn `spawn`: the description and the input
//! schema, each routing prefix included only when there is somewhere for it to
//! lead.
//!
//! Split from [`spawn`](super) for size. Everything here is a pure function of
//! what the tool knows when mentra asks for its descriptor — the command
//! targets, fixed for a runtime's life, and the remote agents, read from the
//! live set at that moment (ADR-0031 §3).

const DESCRIPTION: &str = "\
Hand work to something else and read the result back.

Takes one string. If it starts with `!`, the rest runs as a shell command in \
this workspace and you get its output — `!cargo test -q`. Anything else is a \
task handed to a subagent, which works on it and returns a final answer — \
`find every TODO under src/ and summarise them`.

To delegate a task whose own text starts with `!`, double it: `!!important, …`.

Commands are put to the operator before they run, so ask for one command that \
does the job rather than several that each need answering.";
