+// Purpose: synchronous sub-goal delegation with parent wait (issue #385).
+//
+// spawn_subgoal enqueues children asynchronously, forcing the parent to
+// checkpoint and resume later. SyncDelegator provides the complementary
+// synchronous path: the parent calls Delegate, which creates a
+// DelegationResult with a Done channel, and then blocks on Wait until the
+// sub-agent calls Complete or the timeout elapses. This makes recursive
+// decomposition ergonomic — the parent can decompose a goal inline and
+// continue only after every child has reported back.
+//
+// All map access is guarded by sync.Mutex (mandate M7).
