Nathan Sobo 7d7ca129db Add timeout support to terminal tool (#44895)
Adds an optional `timeout_ms` parameter to the terminal tool that allows
bounding the runtime of shell commands. When the timeout expires, the
running terminal task is killed and the tool returns with the partial
output captured so far.

## Summary

This PR adds the ability for the agent to specify a maximum runtime when
invoking the terminal tool. This helps prevent indefinite hangs when
running commands that might wait for network, user prompts, or long
builds/tests.

## Changes

- Add `timeout_ms` field to `TerminalToolInput` schema
- Extend `TerminalHandle` trait with `kill()` method
- Implement `kill()` for `AcpTerminalHandle` and `EvalTerminalHandle`
- Race terminal exit against timeout, killing on expiry
- Update system prompt to recommend using timeouts for long-running
commands
- Add test for timeout behavior
- Update `.rules` to document GPUI executor timers for tests

## Testing

- Added `test_terminal_tool_timeout_kills_handle` which verifies that
when a timeout is specified and expires, the terminal handle is killed
and the tool returns with partial output.
- All existing agent tests pass.

Release Notes:

- agent: Added optional `timeout_ms` parameter to the terminal tool,
allowing the agent to bound command runtime and prevent indefinite hangs

Licensing

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
