Run agent teams

Nova can route work to configured agents and subagents. Agent selection is runtime policy, not a guarantee of parallel execution for every prompt.

Use the current implementation

Define session agents with --agents <json> and select one with --agent <name>. Use --standalone-agent only when the selected agent should receive the standalone prompt surface. Inspect the current schema with nova --help.

Boundaries and safety

Agent availability, tool exposure, and nested spawning are constrained by runtime policy and capability declarations. Treat agent output as work to review, not as an automatic commit.
