See comments, I think the redux thing is the most important.
I also wonder if we should persist these in dedicated JSON somewhere, maybe ~/.continue/tasks/<session_id>.json or similar so that it's not just in memory. It would be a bit odd to close vs code, open it and have no tasks again. But could leave it for test-driving for now
Could we also make this experimental until we've test-driven it?

This will only accept task Events when the component is mounted, should move to parallel listeners

Same, I'd move this to parallel listeners and move tasks to a new redux slice so we can access them around the UI and so they update regardless of if this component is present

Might be better to make this a class for testing but not that important
But should add tests

It seems like run_task might be more readable as mark_completed. Or is this intended to be extensible in the future?

We should consider making this a bit more concise, this is a lot of tokens for a tool description
Description
Task list in the assistant which adds and shows what task is being currently executed by the agent. Useful to plan and add more tasks while the agent is executing.
This is a simpler form of #6593 where all CRUD operations are managed by the agent.
