[FEATURE] Separate Subagent Window
Preflight Checklist

- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
I am a convert from the now shut down Roo Code tool. Roo Code made it obvious when a session was running as a subagent. This is very helpful, especially since I have an orchestrator skill that invokes subagents and those subagent can also invoke other subagents. It gets hard to discern where feedback is coming from. Plus, my orchestrator often interrupts subagent activity prematurely. With Roo, I had to explicitly return it back to the parent or there were explicit triggers during the session for passing control back. Anyway the flow and usability was better. This is for the VS Code plugin in particular. Not totally sure how it would work in terminal.
Proposed Solution
When subagent is spawned, open a separate Claude Code window in the VS Code plugin.
