The `AppBuilder` now supports continuous background tasks that report their execution status. This feature allows long-running processes to be monitored via the status registry by initializing and storing task metadata before spawning the future into the runtime.
The update introduces a dedicated Info status for tasks, primarily targeting background workers that provide continuous status updates. This includes UI changes to highlight these tasks and hide irrelevant success/error metrics for persistent jobs.
Pass the application context to the closure in the background task watcher. This allows tasks that report their status to interact with shared application state, mirroring the behavior of standard background tasks.
