When the execute tool runs a chained shell command, the UI previously
rendered the raw string. Long chains like "cd /repo && git pull &&
git add . && git commit -m fix" were hard to scan.
A new ChatMessagePart.ParsedCommands [][]string field on tool-call
parts carries one entry per simple command, parsed in chatd from args
via mvdan.cc/sh/v3/syntax. The frontend renders the joined list ("cd,
git pull, git add, git commit") in place of the raw command, and falls
back to the raw command when the field is absent.

Fixes CODAGT-451
Adds optional `model_intent` metadata to the built-in execute tool
schema so tool calls can carry a short user-facing intent label without
duplicating the command or duration.
The Agents UI now composes that intent with the existing execute command
and duration fields, displaying labels like `Checking repository state
using git fetch origin for 2.3s` while keeping the shell command visible
as the audit-relevant action.
Existing execute calls without an intent keep the previous `Ran
<command>` fallback label, so only intent-bearing calls get the new
composed label.
The tool descriptions pushed agents toward backgrounding anything over
5 seconds, including builds, tests, and installs where you actually
want to wait for the result. This led to unnecessary process_output
round-trips and missed the foreground timeout-to-reattach workflow
entirely.
Reframe background mode as the exception (persistent processes with
no natural exit) and foreground with an appropriate timeout as the
default. Replace "background process" with "tracked process" in
process_output, process_list, and process_signal since they work on
all tracked processes regardless of how they were started.
- Moves `coderd/chatd/`, `coderd/gitsync/`, `enterprise/coderd/chatd/`
under `x/` parent directories to signal instability
- Adds `Experimental:` glue code comments in `coderd/coderd.go`
