`goal_reached`/`need_help` took the session name as a tool argument, so
identity was an assertion by the caller and the only guard on it was
`occupancy()` — "does that name have a turn in flight", which two
concurrently running siblings both satisfy for each other. A subagent
could stop its sibling's run by naming it.
Identity moves into the URL. Each spawned run is minted an unguessable
token (`Uuid::new_v4`, the OS CSPRNG), the URL carrying it goes into that
one subagent's own `--mcp-config`, and the route resolves it back to a
session before dispatching to a handler bound to that session. Neither
tool takes a `name` any more: a subagent has no field in which to name a
sibling, and a sibling's name — which a brief may well mention — is not a
token.
One route with a path parameter, not a route per session: the `Router` is
built once at startup and subagents come and go for the daemon's whole
life. An unminted or revoked token gets a bare 404, the same answer either
way, so nothing enumerates. A run's token is revoked when the run ends
(`finish_turn`) or when a call never reached a spawn.
Two things fall out of that:
- the config file becomes one per session. A single shared path was
already a race between two `start`s; with a per-session URL in it, the
loser would read the winner's identity.
- `occupancy()` stops being the identity guard and is gone from the signal
path entirely rather than kept "just in case" — a revoked token can't
reach it, and it never answered the question it was standing in for.
It still backs `status`, which is what it was always actually for.

`start` takes an optional `goal`. With one set a session stops being a
single turn: when a turn ends and nothing has said to stop, the daemon
spawns another turn re-prompting the subagent toward that goal, up to
`max_turns` (default 5, per-session). Without a goal nothing changes —
one turn, one todo, same as before.
Four things end a run, each recorded distinctly and reported by `status`:
the turn ending with no goal, `goal_reached`, `need_help`, and the turn
cap. The last says so out loud rather than stopping quietly — the todo
states the harness limit was reached and the goal was never reported
reached. Every stop extends the done message rather than replacing it,
and lands in the session's report file when it has one. The path is
never inferred: it comes from `start`'s `report_file` or from the
subagent naming where it wrote.
`goal_reached` and `need_help` are the subagent's own, served on a second
route (`/signal/mcp`) that carries those two tools and nothing else, so
reporting on a run can't become starting one. `goal_reached` is built as
a label, never a gate: it is self-reported by a subagent that has just
been re-prompted with "you haven't reached the goal", which is exactly
the incentive to claim it — the same failure class as a build report
asserting the tests pass. Every surface that renders it says so.
`need_help` is the blocking signal, and shows in `status` as its own
state so a parent polling it sees the block without reading a file.
`status` also carries `turn N of M`: with 4330's last-event age, that
separates working from wedged from out of turns off one answer.
Two bugs the new tests caught: a `tokio::fs::File` was dropped without
flushing, so the report line was written to nothing, and the plain idle
answer dropped the turn counter.
Also documents `await_resume`'s third case — a closed channel with no
send, which fails open the same as `Underway` — per argus on #4411.
