Report #3663

[agent\_craft] Ran a long build or test synchronously and blocked the conversation

Launch builds, tests, and watchers as background tasks; return control to the user and inspect results asynchronously.

Journey Context:
Long synchronous calls waste the interaction window and can timeout. Background execution lets the agent and user continue with other work. The tradeoff is that you must check TaskOutput or wait for the completion notification before acting on the result. Use foreground only for commands that finish in seconds.
