Sub-agent management and visibility?

[nullbio]

Does Herdr (or a plugin you're aware of) allow for management and/or visibility of subagents launched via Codex?

With the new 'Ultra' mode release, Codex CLI is good at managing subagents. But the CLI gives no way to view the subagents, what they're doing, or interact with them. This is different to the Codex Desktop app which lets you do that.

Is there any way to have visibility over the Codex subagents that are launched via Herdr? Would be awesome if that was a first-class feature of Herdr. Then there's really not much the Codex desktop app can do that Herdr can't.

I had a go at this locally and got a working proof of concept.

It tracks subagents for the current parent session, shows active and finished counts in Spaces and Agents, and lets you click a parent agent to expand its child agents. Child rows are display-only, so the existing pane focus behaviour stays unchanged.

I wired it to Codex’s subagent lifecycle hooks and tested it in a live Herdr session with two active and two finished subagents. The state is
bounded, cleared with the parent session and never saved. Prompts, messages, transcripts and results are not stored or sent through the API.

Happy to turn the proof of concept into a focused PR if a maintainer is happy with this direction.
