“nextTask() would therefore hand a finished task to Claude again, which is a new billed turn.”

From “task_update stores any status string; a task stored as "complete" is shown as pending and Mission Control would hand it to Claude again”, found 2026-10-14.
One word, "complete" instead of "completed", made five finished tasks look pending again. The issue shows the risk of the work running twice, not that it did. Fixed by PR #3932 and released in 3.56.2.
