spawn teammate worker failed: {e}

Error message

spawn teammate worker failed: {e}

What it means

session.spawn_agent failed while launching a teammate's worker sub-agent (SpawnAgentRequest with teamId/memberId/taskId/teamRunId metadata). The {e} is the tinyagents orchestration error — provider unreachable, agent definition missing, or harness failure at spawn. The team member's run cannot start, so this error propagates out of the member-run driver.

Solutions

1. Inspect the inner orchestration error to identify spawn-stage vs provider-stage failure
2. Verify the member's agent definition resolves and its model/provider are configured
3. Retry the member run once the underlying cause (provider outage, config) is fixed
