v0.9.4: a turn keeps running when the app is not on screen
A phone freezes an app it cannot see, and the front end had nothing holding it: a turn that took minutes -- a long shell command, a provider that thinks, a build -- stopped quietly the moment the user pressed home, and the answer was only there if the window happened to come back. The engine's own /attach flow made this visible: an APK turn survived, a pocket did not. - app/android/src/xyz/whcself/cstagent/CstService.java: a foreground service started with an explicit component (nothing outside the app can reach it, no intent filter) for as long as a turn runs. Being a foreground service makes the process one Android neither freezes nor kills; a partial wake lock (30 min ceiling) keeps the CPU awake with the screen off. Its ongoing notification says what is running -- "CST-agent is working" plus the first line of the prompt -- on the same cst-agent channel the notification_send tool uses, and taps back into the app. A phone that refuses the foreground start (Android 12+ does, from the background) loses the protection, not the turn: the failure is caught and the service stops itself. - Manifest: FOREGROUND_SERVICE, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC (API 34+ wants the typed one) and WAKE_LOCK, plus the <service> with foregroundServiceType="dataSync". The first build of this failed with "Expected '>', but got ' '" -- a manifest comment cannot contain "--". - Front end: app::holdForeground(text) / app::releaseForeground() in ToolProvider.h, one call for every platform -- Android starts and stops the service through JNI, a desktop has nothing to hold (its window is the app). AgentCore::send() calls it when the turn starts (firstLine() of the prompt is what the notification says) and finishTurn() releases it, so the notification exists exactly as long as the work does. CST_APP_NO_SERVICE=1 keeps a test run from touching the phone. - On the NX789J, with the app sent home and the screen off: the service read back isForeground=true with its notification, the wake lock cst-agent:turn was taken at the start of the turn and dropped at its end, run_shell "sleep 60" finished with the screen dark, and the service was gone after. Desktop: build clean, --uitest all green, --selftest and cst-app-selftest OK (the hold is a no-op there, so nothing about the Qt side changed). Version 0.9.4.
