4//! Unified agent runner — one-shot Claude Code spawn for the
5//! drone Agent block.
6//!
7//! Spawns `claude --print --output-format=stream-json` as a non-
8//! interactive subprocess, drains its stdout through
9//! `ClaudeTranslator`, forwards each `AgentEvent` on the caller's
10//! `tx`, and resolves the handle's `final_result` with the
11//! structured `AgentRunResult` once the stream emits `Done`.
12//!
13//! Headless and one-shot by design — the drone Agent block's
14//! contract is "send task, wait for done, return result." The
15//! interactive agent pane has its own PTY-based controller in
16//! `blockcontroller/shell.rs`; that path is NOT routed through
17//! this runner (see `docs/specs/SPEC_UNIFIED_AGENT_TYPES_2026_05_13.md`
18//! §4.2 — what's shared is the translator + event shape, not the
19//! spawn function).
