Maintenance release - correctness fixes, clearer naming, and a dependency/security-audit cleanup. No change to the public command surface; the extension still ships zero runtime dependencies.
📦 Install: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Amitoj02.task-dashboard
Fixed
- Task-failure notifications now actually fire. With the default
errorsOnly
setting (andall), a failed task surfaces a notification; previously the
setting was honored nowhere. Auto-restart failures remain summarized by the
crash-loop breaker so a crash loop does not flood you with notifications. - Windows: native program and argument paths containing backslashes
(e.g.C:\tools\app.exe) are no longer mangled when a task runs without a shell. - Windows: stopping a task now attempts a graceful tree termination before force-
killing, so the stop grace period has real effect, and the kill no longer
blocks the extension host. - Deleting a task now prunes it from the persisted manual sort order instead of
leaving a stale entry behind.
Changed
- The editor's Startup delay field is now labelled Auto-restart delay,
with a hint clarifying that it applies before each automatic restart - matching
what the setting has always done.
Security
- Updated dev/test dependencies and added overrides to clear all
pnpm audit
advisories (serialize-javascript, jsdiff). These are test-only tools and are
never shipped in the extension, which has zero runtime dependencies.
