In depth
Agent spawn is the multi-agent dispatch primitive. On Digitorn it lives in a single tool called Agent that exposes eight modes via parameters: spawn one, spawn many, wait for all, check status, cancel, reassign with a new prompt, list. The coordinator calls it like any other tool, and the runtime handles the orchestration: process isolation, cancellation, abort propagation, and event streaming back to the parent.
