// of the subagent. A message of Tell that comes during a chain joins its next
// request after the tool results. One that comes after the final answer starts
// one more chain, which reads the log again. The report of the run goes to
// report: the final answer of each chain, or the error of a failed call. Stop
// ends one run, and its report says that it stopped. At the stop of the daemon
// the runs end with no report.

// work.json in the directory of the agent holds the names of the running
// subagents. Each start and each end of a run writes it whole, but Close does
// not, so after a stop of the daemon it names the runs that the stop cut, and
// Resume goes on with them. The logs alone cannot tell this, because a stop
// can cut a run just after its final reply.
