feat: expose subagent lifecycle tools (list_agents, kill_agent) + asy…

[RoamingQuack]

What does this PR do?

Exposes three previously internal subagent lifecycle capabilities as agent-callable tools, and adds an async notification queue for subagent completion events. This closes critical observability/control gaps identified through cross-framework research (Claude Code, OpenAI Agents SDK, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, Mastra, Vercel AI SDK, Agno, Pydantic AI).

The three capabilities were already partially implemented in Hermes internals (TUI-only or gatekept behind internal APIs) — this PR surfaces them to the agent itself so it can self-manage its subagent tree.

Changes Made

• tools/delegate_tool.py:

  • interrupt_subagent() — added force=False parameter. When force=True, additionally shuts down the per-child ThreadPoolExecutor with wait=False, cancel_futures=True so the parent's delegate_task() call exits immediately rather than blocking on child_timeout_seconds.
  • Store _executor and _future references in _active_subagents registry for force-kill access.
  • New _subagent_completion_queue (queue.Queue) at module level — mirrors ProcessRegistry.completion_queue pattern.
  • DelegateEvent.TASK_COMPLETED now emitted in _run_single_child finally block before unregistration.
  • New drain_subagent_completions() function for gateway drain loop integration.
  • list_active_subagents() now filters _-prefixed internal fields (_agent, _executor, _future).
  • Registered list_agents and kill_agent tools in the delegation toolset.
  • Both tools added to DELEGATE_BLOCKED_TOOLS.

• toolsets.py:

  • Added list_agents and kill_agent to _HERMES_CORE_TOOLS, delegation toolset, hermes-default toolset, and hermes-full toolset.

How to Test

1. Enable delegation toolset: hermes tools enable delegation
2. Start a fresh session (/new)
3. Spawn a subagent: Ask the agent to delegate_task a long-running task
4. List subagents: Call list_agents — should show the running subagent with ID, status, goal, tool_count
5. Kill (polite): Call kill_agent(subagent_id="sa-0-xxxxxxxx") — subagent stops at next iteration boundary
6. Kill (force): Call kill_agent(subagent_id="sa-0-xxxxxxxx", force=true) — subagent executor shut down immediately
7. Verify queue: python -c "from tools.delegate_tool import drain_subagent_completions; print(drain_subagent_completions())" — returns completion events after subagent finishes
