Log Message:
devel/task: update to 3.53.1

Features

* Remote Taskfiles are now generally available! This has been an
  experimental feature for 3 years, but is now enabled by default. Massive
  thanks to all those that contributed and gave feedback (too many to list
  here). We've also given the Remote Taskfiles documentation a bit of a
  polish.
* Added a per-command timeout that terminates a command once it exceeds the
  given duration (Go duration syntax). It covers shell commands, task
  calls, deferred commands, deps and the if condition, obeys ignore_error,
  and reports exit code 124. Callers that join a run: once or when_changed
  task already running now honor their own timeout, and inherit that task's
  failure instead of being told it succeeded.
* Considerably improve performance of fingerprinting on large repositories
  (monorepos). Fingerprinting is up to 86% faster and make up to 70% fewer
  memory allocations on the more advanced scenarios. Benchmarks were added
  as well. We're basically skipping work when not needed.
* Further improved fingerprinting performance on large repositories:
  hashing source files now reuses a single buffer, reducing memory
  allocations by ~98% and wall-clock time by ~7%.
* includes.excludes can now exclude a whole namespace: append :* to the
  namespace name, e.g. excludes: ['debug:*']. Bare entries still match a
  single task name exactly.
* Added support for enum.ref in --interactive prompts. Required vars using
  enum.ref now show the selection list like static enums, instead of
  falling back to free-form input.
* Added Nushell completions, available via task --completion nu. They
  complete task names and aliases, every flag with its description, and the
  values of --completion, --output and --sort.
* Added a verbose log line for failed tasks. In --verbose mode, a task
  whose command exits non-zero now reports task: "<name>" failed: <error>
  instead of stopping without a trace.

Fixes

* Fixed a pinned checksum: not being verified when a remote Taskfile came
  from the cache.
* Fixed the fingerprint variable ({{.CHECKSUM}}/{{.TIMESTAMP}}) ignoring a
  method: set at the Taskfile level: the variable now follows the same
  method resolution as the up-to-date check. Only the variable matching the
  effective method is injected, so a task inheriting a Taskfile-level
  method: timestamp gets {{.TIMESTAMP}} and no longer a {{.CHECKSUM}}
  (which now renders as an empty string), and neither variable is injected
  when the effective method is none.
* Fixed ref: in for: matrix: and enum: only accepting literal lists. Refs
  computed with template functions like keys or splitList no longer fail
  with "must resolve to a list".
* Fixed pressing Esc at an interactive variable prompt not cancelling the
  run.
* Fixed joinUrl collapsing the // in a URL scheme (e.g. producing
  http:/localhost instead of http://localhost).
* Fixed the JSON schema rejecting ignore_error on a command inside a for
  loop. Editors no longer flag a Taskfile that Task runs perfectly fine.
* Fixed the JSON schema rejecting more keys the Taskfile parser accepts:
  ignore_error on a task: call, and if, set and shopt on a command inside a
  for loop.

Documentation & Website

* Updated taskfile versions doc to mention when version checks were
  introduced.
* Load the sidebar data and titles/excerpts from the blog post markdown
  document and its frontmatter on the website.
