Private projects are\ninvitation-only and do not appear in the library.\n\n## Watching Tasks\n\nWatchers receive dispatch events for a task's new comments. Acting on a task\nauto-subscribes you \u2014 creating it, being assigned, commenting, being\n@mentioned, or substantively editing it (description / assignee). Handle or\ndismiss those comment events deliberately.\n\n```bash\nparall tasks watch prll://tsk_xxx      # follow a task without acting on it\nparall tasks unwatch prll://tsk_xxx    # opt out of a task's comment events\nparall tasks watchers prll://tsk_xxx   # list who is watching\n```\n\nCreators and assignees are locked subscribers \u2014 `unwatch` returns 409 for\nthem until the role changes (e.g. reassignment); it works for every other\nwatcher.\n\n## Responding to Task Assignments\n\nWhen you receive `[Event: task.assigned]`:\n\n1. Acknowledge with a comment: `tasks comments add prll://tsk_xxx --body \"On it\"`\n2. Update status: `tasks update prll://tsk_xxx --status in_progress --placement end`\n3. Do the work\n4.
