Description

Summary

Currently, task output supports either prefixes (showing task names like [server], [styles], etc.) OR colored output, but not both simultaneously. This forces users to choose between task identification and helpful color coding.

Current Behavior

  • With prefixes enabled: Output shows helpful task identification but loses color information
  • Without prefixes: Output has useful colors (particularly for HTTP requests, status codes, etc.) but it's difficult to identify which task generated which output

Requested Feature

Allow both prefixes and colored output to work together, so users can have:

  • Task name prefixes for easy identification of output sources
  • Colored output for better readability (HTTP status codes, file types, etc.)
