  * Wires the SubagentManager singleton with:
- *   • a terminal-status callback (Rule 1 + 2: batch coalescing + macrotask
- *     re-check to suppress redundant notifications),
- *   • an internal event forwarder (subagent.stuck-blocked → notification +
- *     crew-* event),
+ *   • a terminal-status callback (Rules 1 + 2 + 3):
+ *     - Rule 1 (batch coalescing): explicit batchId → ONE consolidated notify
+ *       when all members terminal.
+ *     - Rule 2 (consume-race fix): resultConsumed re-check so a leader that
+ *       joins the result suppresses the redundant notify.
+ *     - Rule 3 (auto-coalescing): NON-batch completions within a short window
+ *       merge into ONE wake-up (debounced), so N near-simultaneous completions
+ *       produce 1 notice — not N drips delivered one-per-turn at turn
+ *       boundaries (the symptom: leader joins all, then redundant per-agent
+ *       "changed state" notices keep dripping in over later turns).
+ *   • an internal event forwarder (subagent.stuck-blocked → notification),
