chore: rename topic to subagent for Agent Script v2 @W-21955450@ (#193)
* @W-21955450@ Rename topic to subagent for Agent Script v2

Aligns with Agent Script v2 naming standards where `topic` is renamed
to `subagent` across all skill documentation and templates.

Changes:
- Agent Script templates: topic keyword → subagent keyword
- References: @topic.* → @subagent.*
- Documentation: Updated all skill references and guides
- Natural language references preserved in comments/descriptions

* Rename start_agent topic_selector to agent_router

Completes the topic → subagent terminology alignment by:

1. Renaming start_agent from topic_selector to agent_router (15 agent files)
2. Updating template topic declarations: topic {{placeholder}} → subagent {{placeholder}} (5 files)
3. Updating all @subagent.topic_selector references to @subagent.agent_router (35 occurrences)
4. Updating documentation: prose, examples, and diagrams (10 markdown files)
5. Updating comments to use agent_router terminology

Files affected:
- 22 agent template files
- 10 documentation/reference markdown files
- Template component files

The agent_router name is more descriptive of its actual function
(routing to different subagents) and completes the Agent Script v2
terminology standardization.

* Rename files with "topic" to use "subagent" terminology

Completes the topic → subagent terminology alignment by renaming
files and updating all references:

**Files renamed (5):**
- multi-topic.agent → multi-subagent.agent
- template-single-topic.agent → template-single-subagent.agent
- template-multi-topic.agent → template-multi-subagent.agent
- topic-with-actions.agent → subagent-with-actions.agent
- agent-topic-map-diagrams.md → agent-subagent-map-diagrams.md

**References updated (6 docs):**
- Updated all filename references to point to new filenames
- Updated "Topic Map" → "Subagent Map" throughout documentation
- Updated "multi-topic"/"single-topic" → "multi-subagent"/"single-subagent"

Files modified:
- README.md, SKILL.md, agent-spec-template.md
- assets/agents/README.md, assets/README-legacy.md
- references/agent-design-and-spec-creation.md

This ensures consistent "subagent" terminology across filenames,
file content, and all documentation references.

* Complete topic-to-subagent terminology update across skills

Comprehensive update replacing "topic" with "subagent" terminology throughout
the developing-agentforce and testing-agentforce skills to align with Agent
Script's `subagent` block naming.

Key changes:
- "Topic Selector" → "Subagent Router" in all agent templates and docs
- "Topic/action" → "Subagent/action" in documentation
- "Topic map" → "Subagent map" in diagram references
- Updated all architecture documentation to use "subagent" terminology
- Updated 19 .agent template files with new labels and comments
- Updated 8 reference documentation files with consistent terminology

API contract preservation:
- Test spec YAML files preserve "topic" terminology to match Testing Center API
- Added clarifying comments explaining topic/subagent equivalence in YAML files
- Field names like `expectedTopic` unchanged (Salesforce API requirement)

Preserved terms:
- "off-topic" (standard phrase for out-of-scope)
- "expectedTopic" field (Testing Center API)
- "platform topics" (Salesforce guardrail features)

* Complete comprehensive topic-to-subagent terminology update

Thorough update replacing all remaining "topic" references with "subagent"
terminology across developing-agentforce, testing-agentforce, and
observing-agentforce skills to fully align with Agent Script's `subagent`
block naming.

Key changes:
- Agent Script syntax: @topic.<name> → @subagent.<name>
- Agent Script syntax: topic.actions → subagent.actions
- Shell script patterns: ^topic → ^subagent
- Documentation: "topic instructions" → "subagent instructions"
- observing-agentforce skill: Updated all agent architecture references
- Template files: Updated all inline comments and descriptions
- Variable names in scripts: TOPIC → SUBAGENT

Specific updates:
- 45 files changed, 294 insertions, 294 deletions
- Updated all Agent Script code examples to use @subagent syntax
- Updated observing-agentforce issue classification guide
- Updated shell script patterns in diagnostic tools
- Updated Apex comments to clarify topic field maps to subagents

Preserved (as required):
- "off-topic" and "off_topic" (standard out-of-scope phrase)
- Testing Center API fields: expectedTopic, topic: in YAML
- API response fields: .topic, generatedData.topic, topic_assertion
- STDM field names: ssot__TopicApiName__c (with clarifying docs)
- Template placeholders in test specs (API values)
- "Topic hash drift" (API field behavior)
- "Email topic/purpose" (means email subject)
- Explanatory comments about API field mapping

All Agent Script syntax and documentation now consistently uses "subagent"
while preserving backward compatibility with platform API field names.

# Agent Spec: Agent_API_Name
## Purpose & Scope
Describe the agent's purpose in 1-2 sentences. What does it help users do?
What domain does it operate in?
## Behavioral Intent
Describe the key behavioral rules that govern the agent:
- What must the agent know before taking action?
- What backing logic types are used (Apex, Flow, Prompt Template)?
- What guardrails apply (off-topic handling, escalation)?
- What information persists across subagent switches?
## Subagent Map

```
Expand the diagram to show actions, gating logic, and variable state changes
within each subagent. See the Subagent Map Diagrams reference for conventions.
## Variables
- `variable_name` (mutable type = default) — What this variable tracks.
Set by: which action or utility. Read by: which topics for gating or
conditional instructions.
## Actions & Backing Logic
### action_name (subagent_name subagent)
- **Target:** `apex://ClassName` or `flow://FlowName` or `prompt://PromptTemplateName`
- **Backing Status:** EXISTS / NEEDS STUB / NEEDS IMPLEMENTATION
#### Inputs
| Name | Type | Required | Source |
|------|------|----------|--------|
| property_id | string | Yes | User input |
| max_results | integer | No | Defaults to 10 |
#### Outputs
| Name | Type | Visible to User? | Source | Notes |
|------|------|-------------------|--------|-------|
| property | object | Yes | `Property__c` | Complete property details |
| related_applications | list[object] | Yes | `Application__c` | Records for this property |
| active_listing | boolean | Yes | `Listing__c` | Listing status |
| hasData | boolean | No | Computed | Internal empty-result flag |
> **"Visible to User?"** maps to `filter_from_agent` in the `.agent` file: Yes → `filter_from_agent: False`, No → `filter_from_agent: True`.
#### Stubbing Requirement
If NEEDS STUB:
- Apex class name and inner class wrappers needed
- `complex_data_type_name` for each `object`/`list[object]` output
- Key queries or computation logic the stub must implement
Repeat for each action.
## Gating Logic
- `action_name` visibility: `available when @variables.variable_name != ""`
— Rationale for why this gate exists.
List all gating conditions with their rationale.
## Architecture Pattern
State the architecture pattern: hub-and-spoke, chain, hybrid, etc.
Describe the routing strategy and how topics relate to each other.
## Agent Configuration
- **developer_name:** `Agent_API_Name`
- **agent_label:** `Agent Display Name`
- **agent_type:** `AgentforceEmployeeAgent` or `AgentforceServiceAgent` — state the reasoning based on prompt signals (e.g., "accessible by employees" → Employee, "customer-facing channel" → Service)
- **default_agent_user:** Required for `AgentforceServiceAgent`. Forbidden for `AgentforceEmployeeAgent`. If specified, MUST be **user name**. MUST NEVER be **user ID**. User MUST have `Einstein Agent` license.
