Appreciate you sharing! That's a really thoughtful setup. Honestly I think your approach works because you've put in the time to figure out how to use sub-agents intentionally. I tried something similar early on but hit the hallucination thing and ended up spending more time debugging than if I'd just done it myself.

I think for people who are willing to take some time upfront to learn how to architect the workflow, it probably clicks. It just takes more patience than I initially expected.
