//! Which capsule delegated to this one, and how a delegated child says that it finished.
//!
//! A child launched by [`crate::child_launch`] knows its spawner from one injected environment
//! variable, [`SPAWNER_ENV`], and from nothing it inherited: the parent's launcher composes a
//! [`SpawnerHandle`] and applies it in the runtime-owned tail of the child's environment. A
//! capsule launched any other way has no handle, records no lineage and contacts nothing.
//!
//! **Knowing your parent and reporting to it are separate.** Every handle names the session that
//! spawned this one and the delegation that created it, which is what the child writes into its
//! own `session_start`. Only a handle carrying a [`CompletionAddress`] also has somewhere to post
//! an outcome: a parent that waits on the connection it already holds — every delegation made
//! through [`crate::delegation_plane`] — supplies none, so its child is attributable without
//! anything being sent anywhere.
//!
//! **The completion names the delegation; the parent's runtime hands over the answer.** Every
//! field of [`DelegationOutcome`] is composed by a runtime — ids, a status word, a path, a
//! duration — and the one input that could grow, the crash detail, is capped twice: at the 20
//! stderr lines `child_launch` retains, and again at [`MAX_DETAIL_BYTES`]. Neither
//! [`COMPLETION_FILE`] nor the posted message carries the child's output. The child leaves its
//! answer in a result file in its own directories, and the parent's runtime reads it there itself,
//! through the child directories it holds, once the child has exited: [`result_block`] puts it
//! under a `result:` line in what the delegating task is told, inside the `delegation:<capsule>`
//! fence [`outcomes_message`] applies. An answer over
//! [`crate::delegation_plane::MAX_OUTPUT_BYTES`] is cut there with the cut marked, and the whole
//! text is kept in the parent's runtime directory, which every kind of tool reads
//! ([`hand_over_answer`]). The parent's commands cannot read the children's records directories.
//!
//! Two reporters, one arrival path. The child reports for itself at the end of its own session;
//! the completion watcher behind the parent's [`crate::child_launch::LaunchedChild`] reports for
//! a child that could not. Both write [`COMPLETION_FILE`] into the child's directory and both post
//! the same JSON-RPC `SendMessage` to the parent's A2A door. The door hands it to the task that
//! made the delegation, which reads this file and continues its conversation with
//! [`outcomes_message`]; it never becomes a task of its own. A completion that cannot be
//! delivered is recorded in that file with `delivered: false` and the refusal's reason, and a
//! line goes to stderr; it is not retried beyond the launcher's single retry and it is not
//! silently discarded.
