Print task ID on Ctrl+C interrupt for async tool calls#177
Conversation
When `tools-call --task` is interrupted with Ctrl+C and a task ID has been captured, print recovery commands to stderr so the user can fetch or cancel the server-side task. Silent in --json mode. Also updates --task flag help text, adds an "Async tasks" section to the tools-call help footer, and documents that --json --detach returns a CreateTaskResult instead of CallToolResult.

Extract a shared `printDetachedHint()` helper so both ESC-detach and Ctrl+C interrupt produce identical output with tasks-result and tasks-cancel recovery commands. https://claude.ai/code/session_01DMuLoe25t4Fwjyun36nRFx
Extract formatTaskCommandsHint() to output.ts and use it everywhere: tools-call --detach, tools-call --task ESC/Ctrl+C, tasks-list, and tasks-get. All now show the same "Available commands" block. https://claude.ai/code/session_01DMuLoe25t4Fwjyun36nRFx

Summary
Enhanced the
tools-call --taskcommand to provide better user experience when interrupting long-running async tasks. When a user presses Ctrl+C during task execution, the CLI now prints the task ID and helpful recovery commands instead of silently terminating.Key Changes
