task-runner

Name: task-runner
Author: Technikhighknee

No 2-minute timeout. Clean output. Tasks persist across server restarts.

First: task_run

For any build or long command:

task_run({ command: 'npm run build' })

The Problem	Built-in Failure	task-runner Solution
Long builds	Bash times out after 2 min	`task_run` waits as long as needed
Background tasks	Lost when session ends	SQLite persistence across restarts
Dev servers	Polling with sleep	`task_start` with `wait_for` pattern
Kill process	Find PID manually	`task_kill({ id })`

Waits up to 30 seconds (configurable). If still running:

You're never stuck.

task_run({ command: 'npm run build', label: 'Build' })

task_start({
  command: 'npm run dev',
  wait_for: 'listening on port',
  wait_timeout: 30000
})

task_list({ running: true })
task_get({ id: '<id>' })
task_kill({ id: '<id>' })
