Requested by Torsten · project thread

The engine already had a subagents switch on its context (it records subagents.off and passes maxSubagents: 0), but the service never set it, so subagents were always on.

• New env variable HANSI_SUBAGENTS: enabled (default) or disabled, validated in apps/service/src/env.ts.
• index.ts passes it to the engine context for review and chat jobs.
• README env table and env.test.ts cover it.

Default stays enabled, so no deployment config change is needed.

bun run lint, bun run check and bun test apps/service pass.
