Deployable mitigation for the 300s 'tool chain lost' (#2723)

The canvas A2A turn is cancelled after idleTimeoutDuration of broadcaster silence (applyIdleTimeout). The 30s WORKSPACE_HEARTBEAT normally resets it well before 5min — so the window only bites when the heartbeat stalls, which happens when the runtime's asyncio heartbeat task is starved by a long blocking tool call (the CTO's bulk image migration). The turn got cancelled at ~300s mid-work.

This PR raises the default 5m→30m — the deployable safety margin so a multi-minute blocking step survives. 30m matches the agent-to-agent ceiling; A2A_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS still tunes per-deploy.

The complete fix is runtime-side (run the heartbeat on an independent daemon thread so it never starves) — root-caused + specced in #2723. This is workspace-server-only so it deploys to tenants via the standard tenant redeploy (no runtime-template roll / tunnel-gap dependency), giving immediate relief while the runtime fix lands.

Test: TestParseIdleTimeoutEnv pins the 30m default + a longer override; existing applyIdleTimeout mechanism tests unchanged.

## Deployable mitigation for the 300s 'tool chain lost' (#2723) The canvas A2A turn is cancelled after `idleTimeoutDuration` of broadcaster silence (`applyIdleTimeout`). The 30s `WORKSPACE_HEARTBEAT` normally resets it well before 5min — so the window only bites when the heartbeat **stalls**, which happens when the runtime's asyncio heartbeat task is starved by a long *blocking* tool call (the CTO's bulk image migration). The turn got cancelled at ~300s mid-work. **This PR** raises the default 5m→30m — the deployable safety margin so a multi-minute blocking step survives. 30m matches the agent-to-agent ceiling; `A2A_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS` still tunes per-deploy. **The complete fix is runtime-side** (run the heartbeat on an independent daemon thread so it never starves) — root-caused + specced in #2723.

fix(a2a): raise canvas idle watchdog 5m→30m for long blocking turns (core#2723) ... cd3666d75c

The canvas A2A turn is cancelled after `idleTimeoutDuration` of broadcaster
silence. The 30s WORKSPACE_HEARTBEAT normally resets it long before 5min —
so the window only bites when the heartbeat STALLS, which happens when the
runtime's asyncio heartbeat task is starved by a long *blocking* tool call
(e.g. a bulk asset migration). A real long autonomous turn was getting
cancelled at ~300s mid-work ("tool chain lost").

The complete fix is runtime-side (heartbeat on an independent thread —
#2723). This raises the deployable safety margin so a multi-minute blocking
step survives; 30m matches the agent-to-agent absolute ceiling. The canvas
path has no separate ceiling, so this is its only deadline; a genuinely
dead agent is still surfaced by the reactive-health path, not this.
A2A_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS still tunes per-deploy.

Test: TestParseIdleTimeoutEnv now pins the 30m default + a longer override.

APPROVED on head cd3666d75c.

Reviewed with the 5-axis lens. The mitigation is deliberately narrow: it raises only the workspace-server canvas/A2A idle watchdog default from 5m to 30m while preserving A2A_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS override behavior. That matches the stated deployable mitigation: long blocking runtime work can survive heartbeat starvation, while operators can still tune shorter/longer values by env.

Correctness/robustness: the existing applyIdleTimeout mechanism is unchanged; this changes the default ceiling only. The parser test now pins the 30m default and confirms a 30m explicit override parses. Security impact is neutral: no auth, secret, request-body, or permission behavior changes. Performance/resource tradeoff is acceptable as a mitigation because genuinely dead agents are still handled by reactive health rather than this idle timer.

CI note: relevant static/build/test contexts I saw were green, but some staging/local-provision statuses were still pending/cancelled at review time. Merge should wait for required CI/all-required to settle green.
