Jinwoo-HandOrca b299d8c6bb Run the file watcher off the main process; make git non-interactive (#5308)
Root-cause replacements for the earlier timeout-based stopgaps.

Watcher: @parcel/watcher's Linux/Windows brute-force backend recursively
walks the whole tree on a libuv threadpool thread before subscribe()
resolves. In the main/serve process that crawl (huge non-git home dir on
NFS) starved the shared 4-thread libuv pool, so static-asset serving and
RPC crypto — everything else needing that pool — hung while the event loop
stayed alive. Move the watcher into a worker thread (file-watcher-worker.ts
+ file-watcher-host.ts), mirroring the existing theme-parser/STT workers.
The crawl now runs on the worker's own libuv pool and cannot starve the
main process by construction — no timeout needed. The per-event stat
fanout stays bounded (8 concurrent) inside the worker; worker crash/error
surfaces an overflow so the client refreshes. SSH watching (remote host)
and the Windows fs.watch path are unchanged.

Git: drop the default timeout; instead force non-interactive execution
(GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0, empty GIT/SSH_ASKPASS, ssh BatchMode=yes) so a
read-path call that hits a credential/host-key prompt fails fast instead
of blocking on stdin forever. BatchMode does not change host trust.

Verified end-to-end against the built worker under the Electron runtime:
native @parcel/watcher loads in the worker, a real fs change is delivered
as an FsChangeEvent, and unsubscribe/terminate is clean.
