feat(cli): note background delegate_task dispatch in _on_tool_complete

A top-level delegate_task dispatches in the background and re-enters as a
fresh turn when done. Print a one-line dispatch-time note — no spinner,
nothing to poll — so the idle prompt doesn't read as "nothing happened."

"""The CLI spells out auto-resume when a delegate_task goes to the background.
A top-level ``delegate_task`` returns a handle immediately and runs the subagent
in the background; the result re-enters the conversation as a fresh turn when it
finishes. ``_on_tool_complete`` prints a one-line, no-spinner reassurance at
dispatch so the idle prompt doesn't read as "nothing happened".
