docs(delegate): clarify that the parent agent, not the user, populates goal/context (#13698)

Browse source 
The 'subagents know nothing' warning and the 'no conversation history'
constraint both said the user provides the goal/context fields. In
practice the LLM parent agent calls delegate_task; the user configures
the feature but doesn't write delegation calls. Rewording to point at
the parent agent matches how the tool actually works.

## How Subagent Context Works
:::warning Critical: Subagents Know Nothing
Subagents start with a **completely fresh conversation**. They have zero knowledge of the parent's conversation history, prior tool calls, or anything discussed before delegation. The subagent's only context comes from the `goal` and `context` fields you provide.
