 Resume admission is a record-owned lease. A genuinely running or already-reserved record rejects a second resume before reaching Pi. A stopped record may still own a winding-down prompt, and Pi may still be finishing post-run continuation after the domain result looks terminal; the lease therefore spans the prior execution promise and Pi's authoritative `agent_settled`/`isIdle` boundary. Retention, abort, result waiting, and manager shutdown all treat the lease as active.
 
-Terminal outcomes also carry orthogonal consumption state. Foreground delivery, `get_subagent_result`, and a queued completion notification mark the outcome consumed.

Released records keep their result and persisted transcript pointer but cannot resume. Release detaches the session synchronously before awaiting teardown, so it cannot race a new resume.
 
 Completion notifications are held while the parent agent run is active and flushed on `agent_settled`, rechecking consumption before enqueueing a follow-up. A blocking `get_subagent_result` request claims direct delivery before awaiting, so the same terminal outcome cannot also enqueue a completion follow-up. Child session creation shares the parent model runtime and leaves extension-tool registration open; a denylist removes disallowed built-ins and recursive orchestration tools across registry refreshes. Child teardown mirrors Pi's managed root lifecycle: it emits and awaits `session_shutdown` before `AgentSession.dispose()` revokes extension contexts, then publishes the child `disposed` event.

+### Transcript query boundary
+
+`query_subagent_session` is a parent-only, read-only pull surface. Its pure
+`session/query.ts` projection correlates tool results to calls, caps searchable
+fields and excerpts, and applies literal case-insensitive matching, scope,
+ordering, and a 1–50 result limit on every call. It reads a live child session
+when retained and otherwise uses the same Pi JSONL/context adapter as native
+session navigation. No index or query state is persisted.
+
+`/subagents:sessions` keeps Pi's native message, markdown, and tool-execution
+components for the transcript body. Its overlay owns only ephemeral search
+state and block-level match chrome; a release notification swaps the source to
+the file snapshot, while an unavailable snapshot preserves the last readable
+content and labels the degraded state.
+
 ### Observation model
 
 Record statistics (tool uses, token usage, compaction counts) and live activity (active tools, response text, turn counts) are updated by `record-observer.ts`, which subscribes directly to session events.
 This is the single per-child session subscription — all run state lives on the `Subagent` record.
 
-The widget maintains a bounded reactive read model of active background records and the small terminal linger set, populated by `SubagentManagerObserver` lifecycle callbacks. While active it refreshes that model at 500 ms; each refresh reads only those retained records and requests the normal Pi widget render, rather than cloning or sorting the manager's full terminal history. When only terminal linger records remain, it renders the completion state once and leaves the static widget registered without an interval until turn aging or clear removes it. The `/subagents:sessions` navigator reads messages via `Subagent.agentMessages` and subscribes to updates via `Subagent.subscribeToUpdates()` — no direct `AgentSession` reference (#277).
