Description
In workflow.py lines 350-353, the Background execution mode calls thread.start() immediately followed by thread.join(), which blocks until the thread finishes. This makes Background mode identical to Sequential mode.

def run(self) -> None:
thread = threading.Thread(target=self._run_sequential)
thread.start()
thread.join() # blocks immediatelyImpact
Users expecting non-blocking background execution get blocking execution instead.
Fix
Remove thread.join() or make it optional. Store the thread reference so the caller can join later if needed.
