Idea capture from the act-2 demo review, so the design space is on record before anyone builds it. Claude Code's subagentStatusLine feed already delivers per-subagent token counts, models, and status under the parent session id, and marvel ctx-forward parses then discards it (no daemon surface, aae-orc-7hzb).

The file captures the operator's display sketches (fold indicator on the parent row, tree glyphs on expanded children, runtime-aware child cells), the column-applicability gaps (roughly half the columns are n/a for a row that has no pane, pid, or lifecycle), the sorting interaction (htop tree-mode precedent: children travel with their parent, sort orders siblings), the data-plane prerequisites (heartbeat extension, ephemeral store shape, staleness decay), and the crystallization signal for promoting it to a frontier question.

Idea only; no commitment, no code.
