/**
* Integration tests for the full subagent lifecycle.
*
* These tests spawn REAL pi sessions with REAL LLM calls (haiku by default).
* Each test creates a mux surface, runs pi with a task that uses the subagent
* tool, and verifies the outcome via marker files and screen output.
*
* Costs: ~$0.01-0.05 per test run (haiku).
* Duration: ~30-90s per test.
*
* Run inside a supported multiplexer:
* cmux bash -c 'npm run test:integration'
* tmux new 'npm run test:integration'
*
* Configuration:
* PI_TEST_MODEL — model for all pi sessions (default: anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5)
* PI_TEST_TIMEOUT — per-test timeout in ms (default: 120000)
