> **task**: A named group of boxes running one command, with one receipt for the lot.

## Where tasks come from

`vakna fork` makes one. The task's name is on every line about it, and `vakna status` shows the boxes that need you first.

## What a task reports

Totals, then the boxes that are stuck or waiting on you, then failures grouped by signature.
