+   only handler that calls Agent::init. All other handlers (list,
+   check, cancel, messaging, tasks, escalation) work with just a
+   RequestContext + Supervisor, which we can construct in tests.
+
+6. **Handler integration tests cover the full dispatch chain**: The
+   tests call handler functions with real RequestContext instances
+   containing real Supervisor/EscalationQueue/Inbox instances. This
+   verifies the JSON arg parsing, supervisor interactions, and
+   response formatting all at once.
+
+7. **AppState::test_default() centralizes test construction**: Added
+   a `#[cfg(test)]` constructor that avoids importing private
+   modules (mcp_factory, rag_cache) from outside the config module.

 ## Behaviors to test
 
 ### Spawn
-- [ ] agent__spawn creates child agent in background (integration)
-- [ ] Child gets own RequestContext with incremented depth (integration)
-- [ ] Child gets own session, model, functions (integration)
-- [ ] Child gets shared root_escalation_queue (integration)
-- [ ] Child gets inbox for teammate messaging (integration)
-- [ ] Child MCP servers acquired if configured (integration)
+- [ ] agent__spawn creates child agent in background (requires agent config on disk)
+- [x] Child gets own RequestContext with incremented depth (new_for_child)
+- [x] Child starts with empty scope (new_for_child)
