[joseanoxp]

Issue Description

The Cloudsmith-hosted APT repository for Task is currently returning a 402 Payment Required error, preventing users from installing or updating Task via apt.

Error Details

When running sudo apt update, the following error occurs:

Err:6 https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/task/task/deb/ubuntu noble InRelease
  402  Payment Required [IP: 108.139.134.47 443]
E: Failed to fetch https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/task/task/deb/ubuntu/dists/noble/InRelease  402  Payment Required [IP: 108.139.134.47 443]
E: The repository 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/task/task/deb/ubuntu noble InRelease' is not signed.

Impact

• Users cannot install Task via the official APT repository
• The setup script at https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/task/task/setup.deb.sh fails
• This affects all Ubuntu/Debian users relying on the APT installation method

Environment

• OS: Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble)
• Architecture: x86_64
• Date: 2026-02-14

Suggested Actions

1. Investigate the Cloudsmith repository status
2. Update documentation to reflect alternative installation methods (snap, direct download)
3. Consider migrating to a different APT repository hosting solution if needed

Workarounds

Users can still install Task using:

• sudo snap install task --classic
• Direct installation from GitHub releases
• Manual download from taskfile.dev

Hello!
We are out of quota. We have 200Gb bandwith in the OSS plan.
I reached them to see if it's possible to increase the quota
