What

Infrastructure for a new "local_workflow" task type that tracks background workflow execution with dedicated status line display.

Status

Infrastructure added but the trigger mechanism is not yet exposed.

Details
  • New task type local_workflow alongside existing local_agent and remote_agent
  • Status line shows "1 background workflow" or "N background workflows" count
  • The spinner component displays " · N in background" when workflows are running
Evidence

Task label generation (search for "background workflow")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
