Problem

CI auxiliary commands such as status_cmd auto-refresh checks and steps_cmd metadata fetches can fail silently. That can leave stale buffers refreshing forever or missing step metadata with no explanation.

Scope

Audit status refresh and steps fetch paths in lua/forge/log/init.lua.
Surface bounded diagnostics when auxiliary commands fail.
Decide when a repeated refresh failure should stop refresh versus remain transient.
Add focused tests for status command failure and steps command failure.

Non-goals

Do not change refresh interval defaults.
Do not add backend-specific status policy beyond what is needed for errors.
