18. Context isolation

Chapter 18: Context isolation

A sub-agent keeps its full detail in the log. It returns a capped summary with a fixed shape: a finding, a confidence, and a detail id. Set the cap in code, not in the prompt. The parent’s context stays small.

Figure 18.1. Two outputs from one sub-agent. The detail id links the short summary back to the full record. The chapter does not say whether the parent can fetch the detail itself, so that edge is dashed.
