Descripción

### Describe the bug

- I created a set of agents forming an orchestrator pattern for the full Work Item implementation
- When orchestrator executes a subagent responsible for functional testing this subagent consistently reports that it either could not write a test result file or was **instructed not to write output to a file**
- In either orchestrator or functional tester there are absolutely no instructions to prevent writing output files
- Orchestrator invokes the functional testing subagent only with the Work Item ID (no other `runSubagent` additional instructions)
- In other subagents for phases like Implementation everything works perfectly fine

Sample response from functional testing subagent (**GPT 5.3 Codex**) "...but I could not write the required notes file due the active session constraint: “Do NOT write output to files.”"
