# Objective

While working on something else, I noticed that I sometimes get this
warning about a foreground hang:

```
2026-08-19T11:25:45+02:00 INFO [zed::reliability::hang_detection::logging] New foreground hang detected: Tasks(s) that ran too long 215.24375ms          - crates/cloud_api_client/src/websocket/native.rs:34:23
```

That I believe can just be safely moved to the background, unless I'm
missing something here.

## Solution

Spawn the websocket task on the background instead of on the foreground,
so that we can't hang the foreground thread anymore for **~200ms**.

## Testing

I have tested that I can still connect to the websocket, not sure what
else to test.
