That card now leaves out its separate error line when both of these hold:\n\n- Exit code: the task ended with an exit code above zero, the number a program returns to signal it failed.\n\n- Output: the task produced some output.\n\nThe error line was already hidden when it held only a placeholder.\n\n**Why**\n\nFailed task cards are less cluttered, because the error is no longer repeated next to output that already shows it.\n\n- Area: Background Tasks\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
