A process that finishes while the child is alive needs no handoff, but if the child never
polls/waits/logs it, the result vanished: the completion notice is suppressed in the parent
and the child's summary never mentions it. Finalization now attaches exit code + output
tail as unread_completions, rendered in the parent's delegation notice.
A child's background processes are killed at its teardown and their
notify_on_complete notices are suppressed in the parent, yet the child's
terminal result still said `notify_on_complete: true` and the parent's
delegation notice said nothing about processes left behind. Orchestrators
believed "CI watcher running" and waited on a completion that could never
arrive (recurring in the Sep 7 campaign sessions).
- process_manage(action="handoff", session_id, data="<purpose>"), children
only: process_registry.transfer_ownership flips owner_task_id/task_id/
session_key to the parent under the registry lock, so the completion is
stamped with the parent's owner at exit, passes the parent's sa- filter,
and is reaped by the parent, not the child. Cap 3 per child; an exited,
foreign, or non-child request is a tool error. The purpose rides the
event as handoff_note and renders in the parent's notice.
- Child terminal(background=True, notify=True) now returns
notify_on_complete=false plus a note: wait, kill, or hand off.
- _ChildRun.account_background_processes records handed_off_processes and
orphaned_processes on the result before cleanup kills the leftovers; the
parent's delegation block renders both.
