MCP task status lines are cleaned of control characters before printing, so a server can't mangle your terminal.

What
The status row for a running MCP task now passes the server name, tool name and status message through a sanitizing step before printing, and shortens the task id with a helper instead of a fixed eight-character cut. This hardens the line against control characters or overlong names sent by an MCP server. Exactly what the sanitizer strips is not settled by the code shown.
