Escape can now 'park' running background agents instead of just ignoring them, gated behind tengu_zinc_harbor

What

A new function interrupts and 'parks' running background agents or tasks when you press Escape mid-turn. It posts a transcript notice saying background agents were interrupted by the user and parked, along with a status-bar hint telling you to send a message to resume them. Without this new behavior, the old fallback (which does nothing) still runs.

Why

This gives a clearer signal when Escape interrupts background work, showing what happened to those agents and how to pick them back up, instead of leaving their state unclear.
