 3. When the callback arrives, the parent resumes and surfaces the result.
 
-The parent stream carries the same `subagent.called`, `action.result`, and `subagent.completed` events as local delegation. For a remote call, `subagent.called.data.remote.url` records the target. A failed _start_ comes back as a failed tool result, so the caller can explain or recover within the same session. Terminal callback delivery runs as a durable Workflow step on the callee: a failed callback POST is rethrown rather than marking the task complete, which puts redelivery under Workflow retry policy.

+Both failure paths surface to the parent as a failed tool result, so the caller can explain or recover within the same session. A failed _start_ returns the error inline. A remote that starts and then fails posts a terminal failure callback, which the parent receives as an errored subagent result carrying the remote's error (or `REMOTE_AGENT_FAILED` when none is supplied). Terminal callback delivery runs as a durable step on the underlying workflow engine (see [Execution model & durability](../concepts/execution-model-and-durability)). A failed callback POST is rethrown rather than marking the task complete, so the engine retries it.

 ## State is never shared with subagents
 
 Every [subagent](../subagents) starts with its own fresh state, whether it's a built-in `agent` copy or a declared specialist. `defineState` values never cross the parent/child boundary, even when the child is a copy of the same agent.
 
 ## State vs. connection-side storage
 
-`defineState` is for conversation-scoped working memory that lives and dies with the session: counters, the current plan, what the user has told you this conversation. Anything that has to outlive the session, be shared across sessions or users, or be queried independently of a turn belongs in an external store, either a [connection](../connections) or your own database. State is not a database. It's the agent's short-term memory, persisted durably for the life of the session.

+
+The optional `target` decides the mode:
+
+- A name (`eve init my-agent`) scaffolds a fresh project in a new `my-agent/` directory.
+- An existing directory, including `.` for the current one (`eve init .`), adds an agent to that project. The project needs a `package.json`, the `agent/` files must not exist yet, and the missing `eve`, `ai`, and `zod` dependencies are added without touching anything else.
+- Omitting the target scaffolds or updates the current directory, the same as `eve init .`.
+
+Either mode installs dependencies, initializes Git, and runs `eve dev` through the project's package manager.
