Cancelling while a background agent resumes now actually cancels

Cancelling while a background agent is resuming now stops it instead of reporting a read failure.

What

Resuming a background agent reads its transcript; that read now receives the abort signal, re-checks it immediately afterwards, and raises the cancellation error. Previously an in-flight resume would run to completion and then be reported as a transcript read failure.

Details
  • Abort errors are rethrown before the existing read-failure telemetry and transient-error classification, so cancellations no longer show up as failures.
Evidence

subagent_resume_setup_read_failed

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
