Tutorial: tasks

This project functions as a unified task management system that orchestrates diverse background activities, from simple shell commands to complex, autonomous AI agents. It standardizes these different processes into a single polymorphic state, enabling centralized lifecycle control (stopping/killing tasks) and providing a concise visual summary of ongoing work to the user.
