feat(core): emit liveness heartbeats for silent foreground shell commands (#6876)
* feat(core): emit liveness heartbeats for silent foreground shell commands

Silent foreground commands previously produced no events between spawn
and settle, so ACP gateways and stream-json consumers could not tell a
long-running command from a dead session. The shell tool now emits a
structured ShellProgressData through the existing updateOutput channel
whenever no display update has fired for tools.shell.heartbeatIntervalMs
(default 10s, 0 disables). Heartbeats carry liveness stats only - never
command output - and never enter model context.

Consumers: the ACP session forwards heartbeats as meta-only
tool_call_update frames (gated so a tick racing the settle path cannot
regress status after completion) and records heartbeat span attributes;
stream-json forwards them as tool_progress events behind
includePartialMessages; the TUI scheduler, React hook, and subagent
runtime ignore them so live output views are not replaced by stats
objects.

* docs(design): add silent command heartbeat design doc

* fix(acp): keep tool_call_update heartbeats from breaking in-repo consumers

Codex review of the heartbeat change found that in-repo ACP consumers
did not tolerate the new meta-only in_progress frames. A full sweep of
tool_call_update consumers found three that mishandled them, each now
guarded with a regression test:

- The desktop agent converted every tool_call_update into a terminal
  tool_result, so the first heartbeat would prematurely complete the
  command with an empty result. It now skips in_progress updates.
- DaemonChannelBridge requires kind on tool_call_update and flagged the
  kind-less heartbeat as a malformed-protocol error every interval. It
  now drops kind-less in_progress frames silently.
- The web-shell daemon UI normalizer derived the tool block title from
  _meta.toolName, overwriting the human-readable title on every
  heartbeat. It now drops heartbeat frames outright.

The remaining consumers (VS Code companion, acp-bridge compaction,
session export, daemon TUI adapter) merge updates conditionally and are
heartbeat-safe without changes.

* fix(core): address PR review — heartbeat monotonic gate, guard scope, telemetry

Review round 1 on #6876 (yiliang114, wenshao, chiga0, qwen3.7-max):

- shell.ts: the silent-idle gate now uses the monotonic performance.now()
  clock (via lastOutputPerfTime, falling back to spawn time) instead of the
  Date.now()-based lastUpdateTime, so an NTP step can neither skew the
  payload nor misfire a heartbeat — matching the design doc's monotonic
  commitment. It also keys off actual output arrival rather than the
  throttled display update.
- session-tracing.ts: endToolExecutionSpan now applies caller-supplied
  attributes BEFORE the canonical keys (duration_ms, success, error) so a
  passthrough attribute can never mask the span's own outcome fields.
- desktop qwen-agent.ts: the in_progress drop guard is now scoped to frames
  carrying _meta.shellProgress, matching the daemon bridge and web-shell
  normalizer guards, so a future non-heartbeat in_progress frame is not
  silently swallowed.
- Tests: the desktop regression test now pins result==='done' (previously
  it stayed green even with the guard removed); added a Session.test
  assertion that heartbeat counts reach the tool-execution span attributes.

* fix(acp): align desktop heartbeat guard with normalizer; test kind pass-through

Review round 2 on #6876 (qwen3.7-max via ci-bot):

- The desktop qwen-agent in_progress drop guard was broader than the
  web-shell normalizer's: it dropped any in_progress + shellProgress frame
  regardless of kind, while the normalizer only drops kind-less ones. The
  comment claimed they matched. Added the kind-absent check so the desktop
  guard matches the normalizer exactly — a kind-bearing frame now passes
  through on both platforms (heartbeats emitted by the ACP session never
  carry a kind, so real behavior is unchanged).
- Added pass-through tests on both sides (daemonUi + desktop) asserting an
  in_progress frame WITH a kind normalizes to a tool.update / tool_result
  rather than being dropped, so the load-bearing kind-absent condition is
  no longer only exercised on the drop path.

* fix(channels): scope daemon bridge heartbeat drop to shellProgress frames

Review round 3 on #6876 (qwen3.7-max via ci-bot): the DaemonChannelBridge
heartbeat guard lived in the shared tool_call / tool_call_update case and
dropped ANY kind-less in_progress frame, so a genuinely malformed kind-less
tool_call (status in_progress, no shellProgress) was silently swallowed
instead of reaching emitProtocolError. Gate the drop on _meta.shellProgress
— matching the qwen-agent and web-shell normalizer guards — so real
heartbeats are still dropped while malformed frames are flagged. Added a
regression test for the malformed path.
