Details
I write everything in markdown, so it's common for me to use backticks in descriptions to block out words/commands/code. I've only been using tasksh for one day, and today it did the stuff I've detailed above. The easy answer is to say, "don't use backticks," but I think that it's worth reporting that anything in backticks is blindly executed when starting the task.
In a worst-case scenario, this means that a task with a description like make sure that `rm -fr ~` doesn't actually delete my home directory will do nasty and unexpected things.
Some of the output is from Timewarrior, which had the backticked "commands" removed before time tracking started. I don't know if this is a problem specifically within tasksh, Taskwarrior or Timewarrior.
