RunSimulation could start a new Python process, which simply uses tidy3d to check the progress of a simulation in a loop, and prints that progress to a status file. Much as we do with install_deps, RunSimulation can use a modal reacting to a window manager timer to frequency re-check the status file, retrieve the % progress (and any other information), and print that.

The trouble arises with wanting to update the task status live, also - which tends to be a thing that one wants to happen via tdcloud. The exact right way to do this is nuanced.
