ob-task-start — Fetch and start a task

Steps

Read ~/.obsidian-tasks/config.json → get vault_path
Glob("{vault}/Resources/Tasks/{CODE}*.md") → read the matched task file.
Parse the parent: frontmatter value (strip [[ and ]])
Read ~/.obsidian-tasks/projects.json to resolve the parent note path; if not found, Glob("{vault}/**/{ParentName}.md") to locate it
Read the full parent note for context
If the task status is not already In Progress, Done, or Canceled, update it to In Progress via StrReplace on the status: frontmatter line
Execute Mode 1.
