Ramnique Singh f546d1ad59 feat(x): teach copilot when to spawn sub-agents; fence shared surfaces
The spawn-agent tool shipped with mechanics but no judgment layer —
the only guidance was the tool description. This adds the ambient
decision heuristics and closes a child-profile hole.

- Copilot system prompt gains a "Sub-Agents (parallel & heavy work)"
  section (same strong/anti signal structure as Background Tasks):
  the organizing principle is context hygiene — a sub-agent's reads
  and fetches never enter the main conversation, only its distilled
  answer. Research-shaped requests (catch-me-up, dig-into, meeting
  prep) now route through sub-agents by default, with copilot as
  synthesizer. Anti-signals: single quick lookups, journeys-as-answer,
  anything needing mid-task user input, driving shared surfaces.
- Background-task agent gets a matching (shorter) note — children
  have their own model-call budgets, so a bg-task covers more ground
  per run by fanning out.
- The inline default child profile now also excludes app-navigation
  and browser-control: both drive shared visible surfaces (the UI the
  user is watching; the single embedded browser pane), which headless
  or parallel children would corrupt, not just clutter. Still
  available via explicit tools selection.
