Problem
When workspace cleanup plan --mode=retention runs on a large workspace, it can sit silently for multiple minutes. Today it emitted no output before a 120s timeout, then emitted no output again before the operator aborted a long retry.
Why this matters
A silent cleanup planner is hard to distinguish from a hang, a GitHub/API stall, a lock wait, or an expensive per-worktree scan. This makes the safe cleanup path feel broken even when it might eventually complete.
Prior related work
Those improvements do not appear to cover this workspace cleanup plan path.
Suggested behavior
- Print an immediate header with the mode, workspace root, inventory size, and whether GitHub/status/du probes will run.
- Emit periodic progress lines or structured JSON events with the current phase and counts scanned/classified/skipped.
- If waiting on a lock, print the lock owner / age / retry plan.
- If planning is intentionally delegated to jobs, return a run id and a
status command immediately.
Acceptance criteria
- Operators can tell within a few seconds whether planning is working, waiting, or stuck.
- Long-running plan commands expose a resumable run id early enough that aborting the terminal does not waste the whole scan.
