Spawn additional Gauss Agent instances as autonomous subprocesses for independent long-running tasks. Supports non-interactive one-shot mode (-q) and interactive PTY mode for multi-turn collaboration. Different from delegate_task — this runs a full separate gauss process.

# Spawning Gauss Agent Instances

Run additional Gauss Agent processes as autonomous subprocesses. Unlike `delegate_task` (which spawns lightweight subagents sharing the same process), this launches fully independent `gauss` CLI processes with their own sessions, tools, and terminal environments.

## When to Use This vs delegate_task

| Feature | `delegate_task` | Spawning `gauss` process |
|---------|-----------------|--------------------------|
| Context isolation | Separate conversation, shared process | Fully independent process |
| Tool access | Subset of parent's tools | Full tool access (all toolsets) |
| Session persistence | Ephemeral (no DB entry) | Full session logging + DB |
| Duration | Minutes (bounded by parent's loop) | Hours/days (runs independently) |
| Monitoring | Parent waits for result | Background process, monitor via `process` tool |
| Interactive | No | Yes (PTY mode supports back-and-forth) |
