An auto-approved subagent launch cannot be reused by a retry

An auto-approved subagent launch can't be reused by a retry; it must ask again.

What

When a subagent launch is auto-approved without a prompt, that approval is now single-use. A retried attempt that reuses the same approval fails with an error telling it nothing was created and to ask again.

Details
  • a bounded cache of already-consumed approvals tracks tool-use IDs and evicts oldest entries past its cap
  • the failure is reported as a create_replayed error, so the retry goes back through the normal permission prompt
  • only relevant to launches that took the no-prompt path above
Evidence

this approval was already used by an earlier attempt — nothing was created now; retry so it is asked again

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