Issue

The feature contribution registry slice proved the registry path by registering TaskCreate / TaskUpdate / TaskGet / TaskList through a built-in FeatureModule. That is a useful proof, but the Task tool group still lives as an inline built-in helper inside the registry implementation rather than as a clean internal module.

As a trial of the Feature API boundary, extract the Task tool group into a first-class built-in internal module using the same public-ish Feature API shape that future built-in modules and external plugins should use. This should validate whether the registry API is usable without giving Task tools special Pod-side wiring or treating internal module extraction as an external-plugin permission problem.

Direction

Treat Task tools as a built-in feature/internal module, not as an ad hoc registration branch.

• The module contributes only the existing Task tools:
  • TaskCreate
  • TaskUpdate
  • TaskGet
  • TaskList
• The module owns or receives the existing TaskStore handle from the Pod host.
• Tool names, schemas, descriptions, behavior, task reminder/compaction behavior, and model-visible history behavior must not change.
• Task tools remain subject to the normal ToolRegistry and PreToolCall permission path.
• Contributions are descriptor-declared and registry-validated; no contribution-capability gates are reintroduced.
• No external plugin loading, package format, WASM, MCP, WorkItem, or UI/dialog system is in scope.

Requirements

• Move the Task built-in feature out of the generic registry implementation into a clean module boundary suitable as a reference pattern for built-in feature modules.
  • Candidate placement: crates/pod/src/feature/builtin/task.rs or equivalent.
  • Keep pod::feature focused on registry/types rather than concrete built-in feature implementations.
• Expose a clear construction function such as task_tools_feature(task_store: tools::TaskStore) -> impl FeatureModule from the built-in feature module.
• Preserve the existing TaskStore sharing semantics:
  • one Pod-lifetime/session TaskStore shared by all four Task tools;
  • current TaskStore snapshot/reminder/compaction behavior remains valid.
• Ensure the Task feature descriptor exactly declares the four Task tools and no host authorities.
• Keep descriptor-approved contribution checks active for Task tools.
• Keep once-materialized tool identity behavior from the registry slice.
• Add/update focused tests proving:
  • Task tools install through the built-in feature module;
  • descriptor declarations match the installed tool names;
  • normal TaskCreate/TaskUpdate/TaskGet/TaskList behavior still works or existing tests continue to cover it;
  • no contribution authority variants are reintroduced.
• Document, in code comments or test names where appropriate, that this is the reference built-in feature module pattern.

Non-goals

• External plugin discovery/loading.
• Plugin package format or descriptor lock files.
• WASM/runtime sandboxing.
• WorkItem/MCP integration.
• Moving TaskStore persistence/lifecycle semantics.
• Changing Task tool names/schemas/descriptions.
• Resolving the broader internal-module vs external-plugin authority split; that is tracked separately by feature-api-authority-separation.
• Adding/removing Task tools.
• Reworking all built-in tool groups.

Acceptance criteria

• Task tool registration is represented as a clean built-in feature module rather than inline registry implementation detail.
• Behavior and model-visible tool metadata for TaskCreate / TaskUpdate / TaskGet / TaskList are unchanged.
• Feature descriptor declarations and install-time contributions are reconciled through the existing registry boundary.
• No new host authority grants are required for Task tools.
• Focused tests and workspace checks pass.
