Adds a synchronous sub-agent spawning tool that lets the orchestrator
delegate tasks to a specific role's model and tool set.
- cortex/tools/agents.py: spawn_agent(task, role, tier, timeout, max_rounds)
- Supports local_openai and gemini_api model types
- Per-host asyncio semaphore (keyed by host_id or model type)
- asyncio.wait_for() enforces timeout; admin-only tool
- cortex/model_registry.py: max_concurrent field in host schema (default 3,
clamped 1-20); backfilled on _normalize() for existing hosts
- cortex/routers/local_llm.py + local_llm.html: "Max parallel" number input
in host add/edit forms
- cortex/tools/__init__.py: spawn_agent registered in TOOL_CATEGORIES["Agents"],
_CALLABLES, TOOL_ROLES (admin), and _ALL_DECLARATIONS
- Docs: TOOLS.md count 44→45, spawn_agent section; HELP.md tool table updated;
ARCH__FUTURE.md Round 2 completed items; TODO__Agents.md spawn_agent checked;
CLAUDE.md tool count and list updated

tools/__init__.py shrinks from 1,137 → 250 lines. Each domain file now
owns both its callables and its FunctionDeclarations (DECLARATIONS list),
so adding a new tool only touches one file.
New TOOL_CATEGORIES dict exported from __init__ — used by the UI for
grouped tool checkboxes.
Role config UI (Settings → Model Registry → Role Assignments):
- ⚙ button per role expands an inline configure panel
- Textarea for system_append (injected into system prompt for this role)
- Grouped checkboxes for tool allow-list (all checked = no restriction)
- POST /api/models/role-config saves both fields; updates ROLE_CONFIG_DATA
in-page so re-open reflects current state without a page reload
Backend:
- model_registry.set_role_config() writes system_append + tools to registry
- TOOL_CATEGORIES exported from tools/__init__ for UI rendering
- TOOLS.md header updated: 30 → 39 tools (ae_journal_* and cortex_* additions)

- cortex/static/TOOLS.md — tool reference extracted from HELP.md; uses ##
headers so each category is collapsible. All 30 tools with descriptions.
- cortex/static/HELP.md — UI guide only; tools section replaced with a
one-line pointer to the Tools tab.
- help.html — three tabs (UI Guide / Tools / Persona); tab choice persists
in localStorage. Tools tab defaults all sections open. Persona tab shows
home/{user}/persona/{name}/HELP.md with an empty-state message if unset.
- context_loader.py — loads cortex/static/TOOLS.md into context at tier 2+
(replaces the previously empty persona HELP.md load). Persona HELP.md
still loaded if non-empty, as persona-specific additions.
