Description
Whether based on natural language or the model's inherent thought process, a subagent can be started async. For example, the research or work of a subagent is inherently non-blocking. The model can choose to start it async to avoid blocking on a long-running subagent.
Add behavioral evals for this case to verify that it works as intended and does not have harmful effects on other expected use cases for sync local agents.
