Unreleased

Features

• unify foreground and background shell execution into managed sessions with automatic 10-second yielding, /ps, and /stop
• use a bundled, hash-verified Windows Job Object supervisor for reliable process-tree cleanup on Windows x64 and arm64; normal Node.js builds do not require Rust
• support interactive tty: true shell sessions through PTY/ConPTY with Unicode stdin, Ctrl+C, and terminal resize

Breaking Behavior Changes

• omitting shell.timeout no longer applies a 30-second hard limit; commands keep running until their session ends or an explicit timeout is reached
• shellOutput({ shellId }) now waits up to 5 seconds for a change by default; use block: false or yieldTimeMs: 0 for an immediate result
• Esc stops waiting after a shell has started but does not kill it; use killShell or /stop to terminate it
• /clear and /resume now terminate the current session's managed shells before replacing its runtime state
• shell ids are runtime-only opaque ids and do not survive /clear, /resume, or a CLI restart
