First-class tool replacing the 'block forever or shotgun-timeout' choice
for commands that run >2-3 min (builds, installs, CI, big fetches): start
a job detached with a log file, poll status/log every 15-30s, decide as
it runs. Backed by infra/scripts/job.sh in the agent home; this is its
harness-facing facade with a description that teaches the polling loop.
Rule lives in the agent's always-loaded kill-hung-tool-calls-fast memory
('will this run >2-3 min? -> job, not blocking bash').

Reliability guardrail (from the stuck-work discussion): instead of blocking a turn on one long tool call (can stall forever) or killing legitimate work with a blanket timeout, starts work detached with a log file and the agent polls it at 15-30s and decides as it runs.
infra/scripts/job.shin the agent home (canonical impl; this tool is the facade).
