Problem Statement

Standalone chats can be moved into a Project after the fact (dropdown next to chat name → "Add to project"). Cowork tasks have no equivalent. If a task is started outside a Project and later turns out to belong in one, there's no way to relocate it — you have to re-run the task from scratch inside the Project, losing the original thread's history and any context Claude built up.

Expected Behavior

Give Cowork tasks the same "Add to project" option that standalone chats already have — accessible from the task's dropdown/menu, letting the user browse or search for the target Cowork Project and move the task (and its history) into it.

Actual Behavior

No option exists to move a task into a Cowork Project once it's already running or completed. The only workarounds are re-running the task inside the Project or manually copying files/context over.
