Background Build Monitor

Streamlines the process of applying Nix, Home Manager, and Darwin configurations by moving long-running builds to the background. This skill implements a sophisticated monitoring pattern that polls build progress every 15 seconds but aggregates updates into concise reports every 30-45 seconds, preventing user notification fatigue. It automatically handles pre-flight checks, identifies phase transitions from builds to activations, and extracts specific error context from logs if a failure occurs, ensuring a smooth and informative deployment workflow without overwhelming the user with raw build output.
