Unclear Whether setting a task detail to null still removes it is not confirmed.

What

When a task in Claude Code's task list is updated, its extra details are combined with the new ones by a shared routine. Before, this was done in place, and setting a value to null removed it.

Why

This changes where the combining happens, not any setting or command you use.
