First-ever container run of harnesses.subagents_pi:SubagentsPi (single task,
FAST_TIMEOUTS=off). Purpose: exercise the container-only pieces of the
subagents harness — and it did:
pi install npm:pi-subagents@0.33.1 marker present in trial.log
("pi-subagents package installed (subagent tool available)").$HOME/.pi/agent/extensions/pi-llama-local.ts
(global auto-discovery path; no parent --extension flag).rm -rf .pi-subagents cleanup appended to the run command.Key finding: 48 bash calls, ZERO subagent calls. The original advisory
workflow phrasing ("Work through these stages in order") did not make
qwen3.6-35b-a3b delegate at all — reproduced on the host with the tool proven
available, so this is prompt strength, not tool availability. An A/B against
plain pi with this phrasing would have measured nothing. Fixed the same
evening by making STAGE 1 the mandatory first action ("make your very FIRST
action a subagent tool call with agent scout"); see the rerun
