Problem

PR #507 added dist/ to the terminal-bench archive include paths to fix worker crashes. However, the workflow wasn't building dist/ before running the benchmark, causing all tasks to fail immediately with:

Error running agent for task <name>: Required file /home/runner/work/cmux/cmux/dist missing

Solution

Add make build step before make benchmark-terminal in the workflow. This ensures:

  • dist/ directory exists
  • Compiled JavaScript including worker files are present
  • Archive creation succeeds

Testing

Verified with workflow run #19140594821 which successfully completed the modernize-fortran-build task:

  • Task resolved: ✅ true
  • Agent ran successfully (not just immediate exit)
  • No worker crashes

PR #507 added `dist/` to the terminal-bench archive include paths to fix worker crashes. However, the workflow wasn't building `dist/` before running the benchmark, causing all tasks to fail immediately with:

```
Error running agent for task <name>: Required file /home/runner/work/cmux/cmux/dist missing
```

Now runs `make build` before `make benchmark-terminal` to ensure dist/ exists and contains the compiled worker files.

Verified with workflow run #19140594821 which successfully completed the modernize-fortran-build task.

The 'should not hang on commands that read stdin' test was flaky in CI:
- Local: took 5073ms when expecting <5000ms (73ms over)
- SSH: took 8645ms when expecting <8000ms (645ms over)

Increased timeouts to provide headroom for CI runner variability:
- Local: 5000ms → 6000ms (+20%)
- SSH: 8000ms → 10000ms (+25%)

These timeouts verify the command completes quickly (not hanging until
the bash tool's 180s timeout), while accounting for CI slowness.
CI continues to show high variability:
- runtimeExecuteBash local: 5073ms → 7079ms (trending up)
- runtimeExecuteBash SSH: 8645ms (within new limits)
- initWorkspace SSH: 12127ms when expecting <10000ms

Increased timeouts to be more generous:
- Local runtime: 6000ms → 10000ms (+67%)
- SSH runtime: 10000ms → 15000ms (+50%)
- Init queue check: 10000ms → 15000ms (+50%)

These tests verify operations complete quickly (not hanging until the
bash tool's 180s timeout). The large headroom accounts for CI
slowness while still catching actual hangs.

## Problem

Terminal-bench was failing with all tasks showing 0 input/output tokens
because the agent was exiting immediately after receiving the user
message, without making any API calls.

**Symptoms:**
- Latest nightly runs (Nov 5-7): All 80 tasks failed with
`agent_timeout`
- Agent ran for only ~45 seconds then exited
- `total_input_tokens: 0`, `total_output_tokens: 0`
- Stream started with `caught-up` and `user` message, but no
`stream-delta` or `stream-end` events

**Root cause:**
The `agentSessionCli.ts` reads the user message from stdin via a pipe:
```bash
printf '%s' "$instruction" | bun src/debug/agentSessionCli.ts ...
```

Once stdin reaches EOF and is consumed, Bun detects no other active
handles keeping the event loop alive and exits the process, **even
though async work (API streaming) is still pending**.

## Solution

Add an explicit keepalive interval that ensures the process stays alive
until `main()` completes. The interval runs far into the future (1000
seconds) but gets cleared in the finally block once the agent session
finishes.

## Testing

**Before fix:**
- Run #19173435224: 1 task, 0 tokens, ~2 min total (agent ran 45s)
- Agent exited immediately after user message

**After fix:**
- Run #19173548174: 1 task, **resolved: true**, ~7 min total (agent ran
3m17s)
- 22 tool calls made
- Stream-delta events present
- Agent completed successfully

## Related

- Fixes nightly terminal-bench failures from Nov 5-7
- Related to PR #507 (dist/ in archive) and PR #513 (build step in
workflow)
