Spawned agents retain paginated context and configured role and model behavior more consistently.

  • Fix
  • Agents

Multi-agent continuity receives several fixes in one window: paginated history is preserved for children, model defaults are honored, and v2 roles are restored after reload.

Alpha release context: 4 official tags were published that UTC day (rust-v0.145.0-alpha.15, rust-v0.145.0-alpha.16, rust-v0.145.0-alpha.18, rust-v0.145.0-alpha.19). The full comparison contains 40 commits and at least 300 changed files.
