Description
### What would you like to be added?
Users should be able send local subagents to the background with Ctrl+B.
### Why is this needed?
Frequently gemini-cli uses subagents for exploration or other non-blocking tasks like building and linting part of the codebase.
### Additional context
As part of remote agents we have added PRs that would make this feature significantly easier to add with a shared injection and executionLifecycle class.
