/**
 * The shared sub-agent runner (docs/pi-engine-swap.md §6): one helper every
 * background agent (researcher, demo-builder, visual-maker, extractor,
 * auditor) runs on — a stateless pi Agent built per call, driven to
 * completion, with the seams the job runner and the money channel need.
 *
 * Error semantics mirror the old ToolLoopAgent.generate: provider/loop
 * failures THROW (pi encodes them in the stream; this helper surfaces
 * them), and an abort throws an AbortError so every existing
 * `signal.aborted` early-return keeps working unchanged.
