Building the "chrome tab" style experience for background agents was insanely tricky.

We have to open IDE project tabs without losing focus on the primary project which is impossible to do with the interface Jetbrains offers.

We reverse-engineered IntelliJ's project tab implementation and hacked our own version by calling internal IDE functions directly with reflection.
