Description
One of six recurring design decisions. Options: isolated context with summary-only return (Claude Code sidechain transcripts, ~7x token cost per subagent session), shared context, or message-passing actor model. Key trade-off: shared context fills fast with N agents; isolation prevents context explosion but blocks fine-grained state sharing.
