When monitoring pueue jobs from a `run_in_background` bash task, run the client
directly: `pueue follow <id> | tail -N` (or `pueue wait <id>; pueue log <id>`).
Do NOT wrap it in `nohup bash -c '... &'`.

**Why:** pueue's daemon already owns the job; `follow`/`wait` are just clients
streaming the daemon's log, so nohup buys nothing. Inside `run_in_background`
(itself already a harness-tracked process), an extra `nohup ... &` spawns a
child and the outer shell exits in ~0s, so the harness notifies on the wrapper
exit while the real follow runs orphaned. Symptom: "completion notifications
fire early / abort my sleeps."

**How to apply:** background command = the bare pueue client, no nohup, no `&`.
The harness then tracks the client itself and wakes me on real finish/fail.
