Research direction
Start from the review evidence linked in the issue (comment on issue #5) and the related issues #12, #16, #29, #54 to see what is already decided versus open. Then locate the native shell tool implementation and the channel/chat/lane ownership model in this TypeScript repo to see where a job handle would live. Done looks like: a job can be started with explicit ownership, inspected (status, readiness, output, exit), fed input, polled/waited on, and stopped without touching unrelated work, with reconnect/stop-kill semantics defined and tests exercising a real dev server plus a build.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Long shell commands already work. The native shell tool lacks a supported job handle for continuing agent work while a dev server, interactive command, build, or watchdog runs.
Acceptance
- Start a job with explicit channel/chat/lane ownership; inspect status, readiness, output, and exit outcome.
- Supply input where required, poll/wait, and stop the intended job without interrupting unrelated work.
- Let the agent continue other work and receive completion/failure information.
- Define reconnect, stop/kill, helper restart/update, and disconnected-workspace behavior. Report jobs that must restart; do not imply arbitrary process migration.
- Run a real dev server and a build while steering the chat; inspect logs, reconnect, and stop the correct process.
Keep machine-specific process handling in the execution host and durable run/tool state in pi. This is distinct from the existing human terminal UI and from displaying live tool output (#54).
