Story

The TeammateIdle hook fires when an agent teammate is about to go idle. Returning exit code 2 feeds stderr as feedback and forces the teammate to continue — automated quality enforcement without human intervention. Combined with SubagentStop, this covers both team and orchestrator topologies. Note: issue #7881 documents that SubagentStop cannot identify which subagent triggered it.
