1//! SubagentResumeTool — restart a finished or timed-out subagent with new instructions.
2//!
3//! Takes the completed conversation state stored in the prior `SubagentHandle`,
4//! prepends new instructions, and dispatches a fresh subagent via the same flow as
5//! `subagent_start`. The caller gets a new `handle_id` for the continuation run.
