Groundwork exists for turning off the background task tool per session, telling the model background tasks are disabled.

New validation logic supports telling the model "Background tasks are disabled in this session." and validates an optional tool_use_id string for background-task control, pointing to a new toggle for disabling the background task tool on a per-session basis.
