Kenny Van de Maele cdae9879f2 feat(agent): add manage_bg_jobs tool to inspect and kill background bash jobs (#4577)
Detached bash jobs (#!bg) could be launched and auto-reported on completion,
but the agent had no way to act on a running one: no on-demand output read and
no kill (it blocked until the 1h max-runtime). bg_jobs had the pieces
(_read_output, list_for_session, internal _kill) but none was exposed.

Adds:
- bg_jobs.kill(job_id): tears down the process tree, marks the job killed, and
  sets followed_up so the monitor does not also auto-continue a deliberate kill.
- manage_bg_jobs registry tool with actions list / output / kill, scoped to the
  chat that launched the job (cross-session access reads as not found).
- Wiring: TOOL_HANDLERS/TAGS, function schema, RAG index + keyword hints, parser
  name map, dispatch (threads session_id via _direct_fallback). Gated like bash
  (NON_ADMIN_BLOCKED_TOOLS; plan-mode mutator).
- agent_loop: background-job intent regex maps to the files domain (and the tool
  joins _DOMAIN_TOOL_MAP[files]) so short commands like 'kill that job' are not
  dropped by the low-signal gate that skips tool retrieval.
- bg launch message tells the model to call manage_bg_jobs itself for check/stop
  rather than printing raw tool syntax to the user.

Tests: tests/test_bg_job_tools.py (kill semantics, per-chat scoping, actions,
and the intent classifier).

"""Agent tool to inspect and control detached background `bash` jobs.
`bash` blocks prefixed with a `#!bg` marker run detached via `src.bg_jobs`; the
agent is auto-re-invoked with the output when they finish. This tool covers the
gaps in that flow: list the jobs in the current chat, read a still-running job's
output on demand, and kill a runaway job instead of waiting out its max-runtime.
Registry tool (`TOOL_HANDLERS["manage_bg_jobs"]`). Jobs are scoped to the chat
that launched them, so every action requires the caller's `session_id` and a job
from another session is treated as not found.
