# Sub-agents
Sub-agents are background agent runs spawned from an existing agent run. They run in their own session (`agent:<id>:subagent:<uuid>`) and, when finished, **announce** their result back to the requester chat provider.
Sub-agents are background agent runs spawned from an existing agent run. They run in their own session (`agent:<agentId>:subagent:<uuid>`) and, when finished, **announce** their result back to the requester chat provider.
Primary goals:
- Parallelize “research / long task / slow tool” work without blocking the main run.

- `task` (required)
- `label?` (optional)
- `model?` (optional; overrides the sub-agent model; invalid values are skipped and the sub-agent runs on the default model with a warning in the tool result)

- Archive uses `sessions.delete` and renames the transcript to `*.deleted.<timestamp>` (same folder).
- `cleanup: "delete"` archives immediately after announce (still keeps the transcript via rename).
- Auto-archive is best-effort; pending timers are lost if the gateway restarts.
- Timeouts do **not** auto-archive; they only stop the run. The session remains until auto-archive.

## Announce

- Sub-agent announce is **best-effort**. If the gateway restarts, pending “announce back” work is lost.
- Sub-agents still share the same gateway process resources; treat `maxConcurrent` as a safety valve.
- `sessions_spawn` is always non-blocking: it returns `{ status: "accepted", runId, childSessionKey }` immediately.
