Per-task output streams in concurrent runs #77

@8bitAlex

Description

@8bitAlex

When multiple tasks run concurrently, their stdout/stderr currently interleave into one stream — readable line-by-line but ambiguous about which task said what. Add per-task line prefixing so each line is attributable.

Scope: prefix + color only, not a multi-pane interactive TUI (deferred).

Acceptance criteria

  • Each line of task output is prefixed with the task name (or a configurable short alias)
  • Each task gets a stable color derived from its name (deterministic across runs)
  • Prefix/color is suppressed when stdout is not a TTY (preserves machine-readable output for pipes / CI)
  • --no-prefix flag disables prefixing on demand
  • Partial trailing lines from a task are flushed when that task exits
