The chat agent split simple questions into one sub-agent per account, told the person about each one it started, and passed on partial reports while the others were still running. The main agent's prompt and the delegate tool now say to hand one question to one sub-agent, which can look in several accounts, and to start more only for separate pieces of work. They also say to hold reports until the whole picture is in, unless one changes what the person should know now. While it waits, the agent says what it is looking into rather than how it works: no sub-agents, briefs or searches.
