Close Task

Closes a task by updating its status to completed (or cancelled) and recording the closure.

Workflow

1. •

   Get task ID:

   • •From $ARGUMENTS

   • •Validate task exists
   • •Check current status
3. •

   Validate completion:

   • •Warn if unchecked completion criteria remain
   • •For --cancel flag, skip validation (cancelled tasks don't need criteria met)
4. •

   Update status:

   • •Default: task_status: ✅ completed
   • •With --cancel: task_status: ❌ cancelled
   • •Update updated field to current date
   • •Set completed_time to current timestamp (YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm)

   ##### YYYY-MM-DD
   - Task completed: [summary of work]
   - Total commits: N
   - All completion criteria met
