Report #99697

[agent\_craft] Long build/test/ingest blocks the session until timeout

Start long-running commands as background tasks, return control immediately, and inspect output asynchronously. Always surface the task ID.

Journey Context:
Foreground waits hit timeouts, waste user time, and prevent the agent from doing useful work. Background tasks let builds, model inference, data ingest, and tests run concurrently. The contract is: start, report the handle, and let the user or agent poll for completion.
