The baby steps commit phase is analogous to the action phase, which is where
the agentx commit happens now.

No, it can't go there because that phase doesn't have a corresonding undo. It
has to go in the commit phase. An undoFailed from the sub-agent isn't any
different than any other erron in the commit phase (sub-agent or not).
