Describe the enhancement you want to request
I've been using v2 recently and it's wonderful, the background shell is very helpful. I noticed an emerging use case that my agents often use the background shell as a heartbeat or timer (sleep 2000 && echo "do something").
I think it would be better if we can have this as a dedicated tool. This should make the transcript more structured, and make it more ergonomic, especially when paired with some UI element.
Similar to #50041, but that one's requesting a blocking tool. What I observed is a non blocking use case, piggybacked on the background shell in v2. #20874 #24888 are similar but are closed.
