Start without agentId for a new specialization; when inherited parent context would mislead the task, also set forkTurns to none. Use tasks to discover the bounded durable task view, then start with dependsOn when work must wait for existing same-objective tasks. A child inherits the caller's execution authority by default and may select a loaded profile as a preset; inherited authority and full resource identity can narrow but never escalate beyond the root grant. New same-provider/model workers inherit a bounded sanitized context by default; cross-provider/model workers default to none.

The host scheduler manages bounded depth, direct children, session identities, queued dispatches, concurrency, cumulative budgets, leases, cancellation, and exact-cycle detection. list reports every session agent through safe metadata with live activity (idle agents are reusable); transcript exposes bounded raw-entry pages only for the session root or the caller's own control subtree. Messages present in a transcript page are complete durable entries, but omittedMessages discloses an individually oversized message and a page may be empty while nextCursor continues. send and broadcast queue non-waking threaded peer evidence and return per-target acceptance; follow_up may wake only inside the caller's control subtree; workers answer only with reply, whose destination is inferred by the host. Session-root replies are never injected unsolicited: retrieve them with inbox or event-driven inbox_wait, then acknowledge exact consumption with inbox_ack. wait and wait_many are event-driven.
