Summary
Require explicit user direction before Diffex spawns subagents while
/goalis enabled.Honor the requested count and each subagent's purpose, inferring omitted details from context after the user requests delegation.
Reasoning
Goal mode currently exposes delegation without a system instruction limiting autonomous spawning.
Apply the policy in the existing goal-only effective prompt so it survives custom prompts, extension overrides, and tool-loop continuations.
Changes
/goal, task complexity, and parallel work opportunities do not authorize delegation.Testing
/goalhandler with the faux provider before changing production code.npm run checkinteractive-goal.test.ts,goal-durability.test.ts, andagent-session-goal.test.ts(30 passed)../scripts/test.sh(passed, including 3,394 coding-agent tests).Faux-provider coverage verifies provider-visible instructions and tool behavior; live-model instruction compliance was not evaluated.
