Detached bash jobs (#!bg) could be launched and auto-reported on completion, but the agent had no way to act on a running one: no on-demand output read and no kill (it blocked until the 1h max-runtime). bg_jobs had the pieces (_read_output, list_for_session, internal _kill) but none was exposed. Adds: - bg_jobs.kill(job_id): tears down the process tree, marks the job killed, and sets followed_up so the monitor does not also auto-continue a deliberate kill. - manage_bg_jobs registry tool with actions list / output / kill, scoped to the chat that launched the job (cross-session access reads as not found). - Wiring: TOOL_HANDLERS/TAGS, function schema, RAG index + keyword hints, parser name map, dispatch (threads session_id via _direct_fallback). Gated like bash (NON_ADMIN_BLOCKED_TOOLS; plan-mode mutator). - agent_loop: background-job intent regex maps to the files domain (and the tool joins _DOMAIN_TOOL_MAP[files]) so short commands like 'kill that job' are not dropped by the low-signal gate that skips tool retrieval. - bg launch message tells the model to call manage_bg_jobs itself for check/stop rather than printing raw tool syntax to the user. Tests: tests/test_bg_job_tools.py (kill semantics, per-chat scoping, actions, and the intent classifier).

Contributing
Help is welcome. The best entry points are fresh-install testing, provider setup bugs, mobile/editor polish, docs, and small focused refactors. See CONTRIBUTING.md and ROADMAP.md.
Security
Odysseus is a self-hosted workspace with powerful local tools. Keep auth enabled, keep private data out of Git, and do not expose raw model/service ports publicly. Deployment details are in the setup guide.
