//! `agent_scv`: delegate to a nested SCV over the SCV protocol.
//!
//! Each conversation runs one `scv server --stdio` in SCV's private adapter
//! home ([`LiveChild`]). The first turn performs the handshake (`initialize`,
//! then `session.start` at the next delegation depth); every turn is a
//! `turn.start` on that session. The nested SCV's events become progress, its
//! `approval.requested` goes through the calling session's approval gate, and
//! a cancelled or timed-out call sends `turn.cancel`.
