server.lua gains a shell_bg tool that launches a detached command via setsid + nohup + stdio-redirect + &, returns immediately with PID and log path. Linux-only for MVP (Windows Start-Process equivalent TBD). hub.lua gains remote_shell_bg, forwarding to backend shell_bg. lmcp-only, no ssh fallback — fallback for fire-and-forget is semantically murky. Addresses the 'how do I launch a daemon over lmcp without the sentinel- file wrapper blocking forever' question. Existing remote_shell keeps its current synchronous-with-timeout behaviour.
