atlas 5ce0a357b4 subagent: grant claude's Bash when the agent holds the execution group
A subagent inherited the parent's built-in tool list, which correctly has
no `Bash` -- the agent reaches a shell through the `bash` MCP server, not
the built-in. Subagents get no such server, so the intersection was empty
and they could not run a command at all: no commits, no pushes, no gates.

Add `subagent_builtin_tools_for`/`_arg`, which reuse the shared resolver
and append `Bash` only when `Execution` -- the group that gates the `bash`
MCP server -- is present. Only the subagent spawn path calls them, so the
harness's own `--tools`/`--allowedTools` are unchanged.

The capability transfers; the mechanism does not.

hive-subagent-mcp

Per-agent daemon (hive-subagent-daemon) that spawns nested headless claude sessions on request and serves the tool surface (start/continue/status/interrupt, plus a separate subagent-facing goal_reached/need_help route, one per-session URL) directly over streamable-http. No stdio bridge, no per-turn respawn — an agent's claude reconnects to the same stable URL every turn.

Independent of hive-bash-mcp — a subagent spawns a full nested claude session, a much heavier capability than a bash command, worth its own deployable/restartable unit.

Shape

One bin (hive-subagent-daemon, src/main.rs) built from the crate's own lib (src/lib.rs):

  • session.rs — the actual claude-facing logic: Claude::spawn + RunningClaude::wait/cancel_handle (not InfiniteSession::run, which has no cancel handle to reach in — see the module doc for the v1 scope this trades away), the turn-continuation loop a goal switches on, and the in-memory maps that are the only state this daemon keeps (no task files — a restart stops whatever's running; the actual claude session is the durable store, found again by name via hive_claude::SessionStore).
  • mcp.rs — the rmcp tool routers (the parent's start/continue/status/interrupt on /mcp, the subagent's goal_reached/need_help on /signal/mcp/<token>) + serve_http. Neither signal tool takes a session name: the token in the path is minted per run and resolved to a session before dispatch, so a subagent has no way to name — and therefore no way to signal — a sibling. One route with a path parameter, because the Router is built once at startup and sessions come and go for the daemon's whole life.
  • paths.rs — the in-agent todo-socket path.
