Delegate Task

Creates a WorkItem in the TaskPool targeting a specific agent. The Reconciler automatically detects the queued item, wakes the agent (respecting maxConcurrentAgents and memory limits), and the auto-claim service delivers the task.

The script auto-resolves config/skills/... references to absolute paths so delegated tasks remain runnable from any working directory.

No auto-monitoring — the Reconciler handles stuck/unclaimed WorkItem detection, agent lifecycle, and retries. No recurring checks or idle subscriptions are created.
