Week of November 2, 2026

What shipped

Why it matters

This week brings two behavior fixes that affect real usage: offline runs with optional remote includes no longer fail on a cache miss, and https remotes can no longer silently drop to plaintext on a redirect. The dependency work on the website lockfile reduces outstanding security alerts, and the remaining alerts are noted as coming from a pinned vite version.

This week in Taskfile: https remotes no longer silently redirect to http without --insecure, and optional remote includes are skipped on an offline cache miss instead of failing. Also: website lockfile regenerated to cut open security alerts from 62 to 12.

Post for LinkedIn

This week in Taskfile: Remote Taskfiles that redirect from https to http are now refused unless --insecure is passed, and remote headers are not sent on that same-host downgrade. Optional remote includes are now skipped when running with --offline and the include is not cached, rather than failing with a cache miss. The website lockfile was regenerated to pick up security fixes, bringing open Dependabot alerts down from 62 to 12; the rest come from vite 5, which vitepress 1.6.x pins. GitHub Actions dependency lockfiles were also adopted across all seven workflows, and the prealloc linter was enabled.

What shipped

Why it matters

This week fixes two problems that hit interactive users directly: enum choices backed by sh variables now show a menu, and large choice lists can be searched and scrolled. Task names containing regex metacharacters no longer break matching for the whole Taskfile, and file watching moves to a more consistent backend. The release workflow change also stops a recurring Homebrew warning.

This week in Taskfile: interactive choice prompts now support search and paging, and enum refs built from sh variables show a real menu. Task names with regex metacharacters no longer break matching, file watching moves to fsbroker, and the Homebrew cask warning is fixed.

Post for LinkedIn

This week's changes to Taskfile: interactive choice prompts now support case-insensitive search, match counts and paging through large lists, and enum references computed by sh variables now show a selection menu instead of a text prompt. Task name matching now escapes regex metacharacters, so one special character in a name no longer panics or mis-matches the whole Taskfile. File watching now uses fsbroker for deduplication and more consistent behavior across operating systems. The release workflow now writes the cask quarantine hook with postflight_steps, which removes the Homebrew deprecation warning. A nightly release, v3.55.0-nightly, is also out.
