step.background_manager

Background step manager — tracks running background tasks and handles preemption.

When a foreground step requires a resource held by a background step, the background step is cancelled (preempted) with a warning instead of raising ResourceConflictError. The manager also logs when background steps complete, fail, or get cancelled.
