//! SubagentStartTool — dispatch a reactive subagent and return a handle_id immediately.
//!
//! Unlike the one-shot `subagent` tool, this tool returns *before* the subagent
//! finishes. The caller gets a `handle_id` they can poll via `subagent_status`,
//! steer via `subagent_steer`, or block on via `subagent_collect`.

         The subagent runs in the background and is REACTIVE: when it finishes, a \
         completion event is pushed into your queue and you are woken with its \
         status — do NOT sleep, busy-wait, or poll in a loop waiting for it. After \
         dispatching, end your turn or keep doing other work; on the completion \
         event call subagent_collect once with reconciled=true. subagent_status is \
         for an occasional progress peek, and subagent_steer injects guidance \
         mid-run. Use this for parallel execution or when you want to continue \
         working while the subagent runs. For simple sequential delegation that \
         must block, use subagent instead. Provide either an agent name (resolves \
         from ~/.synaps-cli/agents/<name>.md) or a system_prompt string directly."
