ae84174e3a subagent daemon: explain the status when returning it, not up front
The `status` tool description enumerated all five states it can report, so
every caller paid for four answers it didn't get and read the explanation
in the wrong place. The description now states only what the tool is for
and that it costs nothing to call; each answer it returns carries its own
meaning and the caller's next move instead — running, starting and idle
were terse, the not-found error terser still, and they had been leaning on
the enumeration to be legible. The killed answer and the end-of-turn todo
are unchanged. `continue`'s description keeps its killed-resume sentence:
that describes what the tool does, not a state it might hand back.

f817e27d4c subagent daemon: report a killed session as killed, not idle
A subagent whose claude process died on a signal — the kernel's OOM
killer, a stopped unit, an `interrupt` — was indistinguishable from one
that finished its turn: its entry left the `running` map, `status` fell
through to "a session exists on disk" and answered `idle`, and the
end-of-turn todo said the subagent had "finished". The usual next move
on that reading is `continue`, which resumes work that was cut mid-turn
with nothing having recorded that it was cut.

The driver already preserves how the child ended — `RunningClaude::wait`
returns `Error::Exit` carrying the `ExitStatus`, whose `signal()` is the
whole answer — so this reads it rather than having to recover it:
`classify_end` turns the outcome into `Complete` / `Killed { signal }` /
`Failed`, and `State::finish_turn` remembers a kill against the name
(cleared by the next confirmed spawn under it).

What an agent sees as a result:

- `status` reports the session killed, naming the signal, instead of idle;
- the todo the daemon pushes without being asked says the subagent was
  KILLED mid-turn rather than that it finished;
- `continue` still resumes such a session, but its reply says the
  previous turn was killed, so no caller carries on from cut-off work
  believing it was complete.
