Add display.background_process_notifications config option to control how chatty the gateway process watcher is when using terminal(background=true, check_interval=...) from messaging platforms. Modes: - all: running-output updates + final message (default, current behavior) - result: only the final completion message - error: only the final message when exit code != 0 - off: no watcher messages at all Also supports HERMES_BACKGROUND_NOTIFICATIONS env var override. Includes 12 tests (5 config loading + 7 watcher behavior). Inspired by @PeterFile's PR #593. Closes #592.

Thanks for the idea @PeterFile — this is a genuinely useful feature. Your branch was 253 commits behind main with merge conflicts in 3/4 files, so we reimplemented it on the current codebase in PR #840, crediting you in the commit message. The implementation follows the same mode design you proposed ( |
