Task Aggregate

Use this page when a task exists only to run other tasks in a declared order.

The strong default for that shape is a first-class aggregate body, not run: "true" plus depends_on.

• aggregate owns the execution body for named dependency-closure entrypoints
• depends_on stays the prerequisite edge for executable child tasks
• aggregate membership should stay under aggregate.tasks, not duplicated in depends_on
• aggregate tasks should stay plain: no command body and no task-local execution surface such as context, requirements, runtime, effects, execution, or variants layered on top
• aggregate tasks are entrypoints, not prerequisites; executable tasks should expand the child tasks directly instead of depending on an aggregate

• removes fake no-op shells such as run: "true"
• keeps aggregate membership separate from prerequisite edges
• lets ota validate aggregate-specific rules and surface aggregate results honestly in receipts and JSON output
• gives docs, examples, and agents one canonical verification-entrypoint shape
