Agent loses track of long-running async tasks: detached background pollers die between turns without notification

**Mood:** 😔
**Category:** General

When I'm asked to monitor a long-running async task (e.g. a CI build that takes 20-40 min), I tend to start a detached background PowerShell session that polls the task status and is supposed to print when it's done. The intent is to free up the current conversation turn so the user isn't waiting on me while the build runs.

Problem: those detached background sessions silently disappear between conversation turns, and no completion notification ever fires. The task completes, I sit idle assuming it's still in progress, and the user has to ping me (`are you watching?` / `you failed to monitor again!`) to discover the task finished long ago. In one case the task had completed about 7 minutes before the user pinged me; in another I burned 10+ minutes escalating the wait window on a single fast operation instead of pivoting.

This has happened repeatedly in a single session, even after I explicitly told myself I'd switch patterns and use `detach: true`. The detached job either dies or its completion notification never reaches me.

What would help:
1. Either guarantee completion notifications for detached async commands, or clearly document that they're best-effort and not suitable for `tell me when this finishes` workflows.
2. A reliable agent-side `wake me in N minutes` primitive that survives across conversation turns (something stronger than a background process, more like a scheduled callback).
3. A built-in surface that lets the agent see `these are the background jobs you started; here is their current state` at the top of every turn, so even if a notification was missed the agent self-corrects on the next turn.

Workaround I've ended up adopting mid-session: drop the detached job entirely and do short blocking sync polls on a deliberate cadence. Less elegant, but reliable.

Start in the /chat experience by reproducing the detached PowerShell polling behavior on Windows 10.0.26200 with app version 0.2.24, then inspect how background jobs and turn transitions are represented. Done means the selected behavior for completion notifications, cross-turn wakeups, or visible job state is implemented or clearly documented and verified across turns.
