A working directory (`cwd`) is the folder a process treats as its base location for file paths. This field appears in both the synchronous and asynchronous versions of the subagent-launch result.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis lets the system record and distinguish cases where a subagent operates in the same working directory as the agent that launched it, rather than a separate one.\n\n- Area: Agent Tool\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
