[BUG] /ultraplan session times out without applying changes — tokens consumed but no output

What's Wrong?
/ultraplan starts a remote session, burns tokens generating a plan and editing files,
then times out before returning results to the local session. All work is lost.
The remote session log shows it was actively editing files (agent.py, main.py,
frontend components) but the session hit a timeout and none of the changes were
committed or sent back as a patch.
At the end of dialogue I see 'API Error: Stream idle timeout - partial response received' and 'Request timed out'.
What Should Happen?
Either:
- The remote session should apply partial changes before timeout, or
- The generated plan/diff should be returned even if execution was incomplete, or
- The user should be warned that the task is too large before tokens are consumed
Steps to Reproduce:
- Run /ultraplan with a large multi-file task (e.g. "add a new chart type + new
API endpoints + frontend UI changes across 5+ files")
- Wait for the remote session to run (~5-10 minutes)
- Session ends with "Request timed out"
- Run
git status— no files changed despite tokens being consumed
