Task
Tasks are addressable events with a title, optional description, assignees, due date, and targets (any event or addressable event). Status and priority are tracked separately via "Status" events, keeping the task event itself clean and covering todos, project management, git issues, and similar use cases.

}Sub-tasks
If a task’s a tag references another task (37060:pubkey:parent-d), it is treated as a sub-task of that parent. There is no dedicated sub-task tag.
Status and Priority
Task status is tracked via "Status" events (kind:1983). The same event MAY include an optional priority tag (urgent, high, medium, low). If a status event has a priority tag, that sets the task’s priority; omitting it leaves priority unchanged.
