I see. So really the problem here is that the task itself didn't inhibit sleep
(screen locking is not relevant, as background tasks can continue while the
screen is locked)

I can the value for some kind of timer like we have for DND mode now. However
it's also important to report issues for the developers of the apps that have
long-running tasks but aren't inhibiting sleep as expected. That should be
happening automatically.

If the developer is effectively you because you're compiling your own software
in a terminal window, you can actually do this yourself by prepending the
terminal command you use for compiling software with `kde-inhibit --power`.
That's even better than the proposed timer, since the inhibition will end
exactly when the task ends!

Is that sufficient for your purposes?
