Background Build Monitor

Background build monitor runs Nix builds like `make home`, `make darwin`, and `make update` in the background while providing concise progress updates every 30-45 seconds, letting you stay informed without workflow interruption.

Yes. The monitor executes home-manager builds (`make home`, 5-10 minutes) and darwin builds (`make darwin`, 2-5 minutes) in background, polling status every 15 seconds and reporting progress at controlled intervals with state parsing for building, activating, errors, and completion.

The monitor parses build output, detects failures, and reports concise error notifications with optional log references, so you can diagnose issues without manually checking build logs.

Pre-flight validation checks your working directory and relevant git status before starting builds, ensuring prerequisites are met before background execution begins.

The monitor performs initial status checks at 15 seconds, then every 15 seconds thereafter, with user-facing progress reports delivered every 30-45 seconds to balance responsiveness and reduce notification noise.
