Surface cross-workspace subagents in their workspaces (#2061)

* fix(workspaces): show provider subagent activity

Provider subagent lifecycle lives outside managed agent snapshots, so workspace aggregation dropped it after the parent turn finished. Count running provider subagents against the delegation root and emit workspace updates when their status changes.

Closing a tab on a **subagent** (any agent with `parentAgentId`) is **layout-only**. The agent stays unarchived and stays in its parent's track. The user can re-open the tab from the track at any time. This is implemented in `handleCloseAgentTab` (`packages/app/src/screens/workspace/workspace-screen.tsx`).
The asymmetry is intentional: a subagent's home is the parent's track, not the tab. Tabs are ephemeral viewing slots; the track is the persistent record of the parent's children.
The asymmetry is intentional: a subagent's persistent relationship lives in the parent's track. Same-workspace subagents are not auto-opened as tabs; the user opens one from that track when needed. A cross-workspace subagent is also auto-opened as a tab in its own workspace so opening that workspace does not appear empty. It remains in the parent's track until it is actually detached.
## Workspace activity
Agent lifecycle status stays literal: a parent agent is `idle` when its own turn is idle, even if a child is running.
Workspace status is an aggregate activity signal computed **per `workspaceId`**: a workspace's status reflects only records whose `workspaceId === workspace.id`. Ownership is never derived from `cwd` — many workspaces may share one directory, and same-`cwd` siblings do not clump under one status. A root agent contributes its normal state bucket to its owning workspace only. Running subagents contribute `running` to their root parent's owning workspace (by the parent agent's `workspaceId`), not to the subagent's current `cwd` or worktree. Non-running subagent attention, permission, and error states stay in the parent's subagents track and do not escalate the workspace bucket.
Workspace status is an aggregate activity signal computed **per `workspaceId`**. Ownership is never derived from `cwd` — many workspaces may share one directory, and same-`cwd` siblings do not clump under one status. Root agents and cross-workspace subagents contribute their normal state bucket to their own workspace. Same-workspace descendants contribute `running` to the nearest ancestor in that workspace; their non-running attention, permission, and error states stay in the parent's subagents track. This makes a cross-workspace subagent behave like a detached agent for workspace visibility and status without removing its parent relationship.
