arkonandClaude Opus 4.5 9aa5973970 fix: rock-solid idle detection in respawn controller
- Add 300-char rolling window to catch working patterns split across PTY chunks
- Check completion message BEFORE working patterns (priority fix)
- Clear rolling window on completion message (transition point)
- Increase working pattern absence threshold from 3s to 8s
- Add Session.isWorking safety check before confirming idle
- Add 20+ more working patterns (Compiling, Building, Processing, etc.)
- Make AI idle checker prompt more conservative (err toward WORKING)
- Update documentation
