`terminal(background=true, heartbeat=N)` emits a `heartbeat` event every N seconds (floor 60) carrying only the output produced since the previous one, plus the usual completion notice. The agent stays current on a long bounded job (merge train, full test suite, deploy) and reacts to a failure within N seconds instead of at exit. Why: `notify=true` fires once at exit, so multi-hour merge trains ran silently — the parent's prompt cache went cold and every "what's up" cost 5–10 rediscovery calls; 30 days of batch sessions show 4,930 hand status polls (14% of all tool calls). `notify=[pattern]` cannot serve this: its lifetime cap (8) exists precisely to stop periodic output from flooding the agent. Mechanism: one daemon timer thread for every heartbeat session (reader threads block on the pipe and cannot keep time); delta output via a total-ingested counter over the rolling buffer; heartbeats only where the completion notice can be delivered (same async-support/subagent gates), never after exit. `heartbeat_seconds` is checkpointed. Rendered on CLI, gateway and TUI through the existing process-notification paths.

"""Heartbeat notifications for long background processes.
|
|
|
|
A ``heartbeat`` on a background process emits a periodic "still running + output since the last
|
|
heartbeat" event on the completion queue so the agent stays current on a long bounded job (merge
|
|
train, full suite, deploy) without polling. Invariants: each heartbeat carries only NEW output,
|
|
heartbeats stop at exit, and the normal completion notice still fires.
