So the depth rule holds even when tasks are closed interactively rather than by an agent applying this section. + ### Why depth-based The agenda view (`org-agenda`) shows entries at the section + top-task level. Letting `**` tasks stay task-shaped preserves their visibility as "things that recently shipped." Letting `***+` sub-tasks flip to dated entries keeps the agenda from being clogged with a long list of completed sub-tasks at every depth — those become history within their parent instead. |
