- TaskSummaryDto: Customer-facing task view: the rolled-up task `state` plus an optional, curated task-level `reason`. Deliberately carries no `steps`. Internal step `reason`s — unstructured, engineering-facing strings (often raw exception detail) — stay in the backend and never ride on this DTO. The task-level `reason` is a separate, customer-safe contract persisted when the task becomes failed. It is never derived from internal step reasons while serving a customer request.
