Before, a task had only its id, subject, description, active form and status. It now also has:\n\n- `owner`: who the task belongs to\n\n- `blocks`: tasks waiting on this one\n\n- `blockedBy`: tasks this one is waiting on\n\n- `metadata`: extra details, included only when asked for\n\n**Why**\n\nThe model can now see how tasks depend on each other. That helps it work in a sensible order rather than starting something that is still waiting on another task.\n\n- Area: Task List\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
