Fix usage widget startup visibility and stop-path updates

Extensions were being loaded automatically by SetupAgent but the context
was never initialized unless the SDK user explicitly called
SetExtensionContext. This left extensions with a zero-value Context where
all function fields are nil.

Now kit.New() automatically calls SetExtensionContext with minimal defaults
(CWD, Model, Interactive=false) when extensions are loaded. SDK users can
still call SetExtensionContext to override with richer implementations
(TUI callbacks, prompts, etc.).

Combined with the normalizeContext() safety net in the runner, extensions
are now guaranteed to work in SDK mode without explicit context wiring.

+### Monitoring subagents from extensions
+
+When the LLM (not the extension itself) spawns a subagent using the `spawn_subagent` tool, extensions can monitor its activity in real-time using three lifecycle event handlers:
+
+```go
+// Track active subagents and display their output
+var subagentWidgets map[string]*SubagentWidget
+
+func Init(api ext.API) {
+    // Subagent started by the main agent
+    api.OnSubagentStart(func(e ext.SubagentStartEvent, ctx ext.Context) {
+        // e.ToolCallID — unique ID for this subagent invocation
+        // e.Task — the task/prompt sent to the subagent
+        widget := NewWidget(e.ToolCallID, e.Task)
+        subagentWidgets[e.ToolCallID] = widget
+        ctx.SetWidget(widget.Config())
+    })
+
+    // Real-time streaming from subagent
+    api.OnSubagentChunk(func(e ext.SubagentChunkEvent, ctx ext.Context) {
+        // e.ToolCallID — matches the start event
+        // e.ChunkType — "text", "tool_call", "tool_execution_start", "tool_result"
+        // e.Content — text content
+        // e.ToolName — tool name (for tool chunks)
+        // e.IsError — true if tool result failed
+        widget := subagentWidgets[e.ToolCallID]
+        if widget != nil {
+            widget.AddOutput(e)
+            ctx.SetWidget(widget.Config())
+        }
+    })
+
+    // Subagent completed
+    api.OnSubagentEnd(func(e ext.SubagentEndEvent, ctx ext.Context) {
+        // e.Response — final response from subagent
+        // e.ErrorMsg — error message if subagent failed
+        widget := subagentWidgets[e.ToolCallID]
+        if widget != nil {
+            widget.MarkComplete(e.Response, e.ErrorMsg)
+            ctx.SetWidget(widget.Config())
+            delete(subagentWidgets, e.ToolCallID)
+        }
+    })
+}
+```
+
+**Event structs:**
+
+```go
+type SubagentStartEvent struct {
+    ToolCallID string  // Unique ID for this subagent invocation
+    Task       string  // The task/prompt sent to subagent
+}
+
+type SubagentChunkEvent struct {
+    ToolCallID string  // Matches SubagentStartEvent.ToolCallID
+    Task       string  // Task description
+    ChunkType  string  // "text", "tool_call", "tool_execution_start", "tool_result"
+    Content    string  // For text chunks
+    ToolName   string  // For tool-related chunks
+    IsError    bool    // For tool_result chunks
+}
+
+type SubagentEndEvent struct {
+    ToolCallID string  // Matches start event
+    Task       string  // Task description
+    Response   string  // Final response from subagent
+    ErrorMsg   string  // Error message if failed
+}
+```
+
+This enables building monitoring widgets that display real-time activity from all subagents spawned by the main agent.

+### Monitoring subagents spawned by the main agent
+
+When the LLM uses the built-in `spawn_subagent` tool, extensions can monitor the subagent's activity in real-time using three lifecycle events:
+
+```go
+// Subagent started
+api.OnSubagentStart(func(e ext.SubagentStartEvent, ctx ext.Context) {
+    // e.ToolCallID — unique ID for this subagent invocation

+})

+    // e.IsError — true if tool result is an error
+    switch e.ChunkType {
+    case "text":
+        // Streaming text output
+    case "tool_call":
+        // Subagent is calling a tool
+    case "tool_execution_start":
+        // Tool execution started
+    case "tool_result":
+        // Tool execution completed (check e.IsError)
+    }
+})
+
+// Subagent completed

+    // e.ToolCallID — matches start event
