"""A custom subagent's ``description`` is agent-editable (persisted by
``setup_agent`` / ``update_agent``) and is rendered into the ````
block of the lead-agent system prompt via the available-subagents listing.
Like the ```` (#4137), memory-fact (#4097), skill-metadata (#4128), and
remote-content (#4099/#4002) siblings, this untrusted field must be
``html.escape``-d at its render site. Otherwise a crafted first line such as
``...`` could close the block and forge a
framework-reserved ```` inside the system-role prompt. Deleting
the ``html.escape`` in ``_build_available_subagents_description`` turns this test
red.
