Add background Lua workflows, inline child prompts, and layered config
subagents.lua now starts a workflow on its own coroutine and returns a session-scoped id immediately, so fan-out continues while the primary keeps working; completion wakes the primary, and later calls read immutable records from subagents.workflows. Every ctx:agent takes a workflow-unique name so those records are addressable. A session_start guidance message tells the primary when to reach for run vs lua. Children no longer inherit the primary's system context: a child starts from the fixed child-role instruction plus its profile, and subagents.run/ctx:agent accept an inline system_prompt instead of a profile. The now-redundant `agent` form of subagents.models is gone. Concurrency defaults to five and is configurable through [subagents] max_concurrent in any layered config.toml; turn boundaries reap only settled jobs so background workflows survive, while interrupt and session end cancel. Config roots come from panto.ext.dirs.layers rather than a hand-rolled XDG lookup, which picks up the base and git-ignored local layers for both agents/ and workflows/. TOML workflows tighten up: the subagents.workflow tool takes a discovered name only (inline `steps` duplicated subagents.lua at less power), an optional top-level `output` array chooses the reported steps and their order instead of the terminal set, a step with no workflow input gets no empty input heading, and a workflow naming an undiscovered agent is rejected at discovery rather than part-way through a run.
