feat: promote allowSubAgents to top-level with default true - #276
Merged
Conversation
- Move allowSubAgents from experimental namespace to top-level config - Change default from false to true (subagent compression is now on by default) - Full backward compat: old experimental.allowSubAgents still read - Update hooks.ts (3 sites), index.ts (1 site), config.ts, config-validation.ts - Update dcp.schema.json, README.md, README.zh-CN.md, CONFIGURATION.md/zh-CN - Update AGENTS.md §2.4 default config
…G.md Oracle review finding: validateConfigTypes validated the deprecated experimental.allowSubAgents but not the new preferred top-level key. Added boolean type check for top-level allowSubAgents. Also updated TESTING.md config examples to use new top-level form.

The feature is stable and well-tested. Subagent sessions benefit from compression just like main sessions.
