Why Threads Are Better Than Sub-Agents

The author prefers breaking down tasks into threads rather than further splitting them into sub agents, as it makes reviewing and debugging significantly easier.
An attached diagram illustrates a more complete workflow: an "integration reviewer" centrally monitors multiple tasks, checking diffs/PRs and tests one by one. If it detects scope creep or contract violations, it sends correction feedback to the original task. No results are merged until they all meet the same quality standard.
