Task Search

Search tasks by description text via the SQLite store. Bridge-independent — works even when Obsidian isn't running. Returns task records (full task_metadata rows) ordered most-recently-updated first. For full-text search over task NOTE bodies (the [[uuid|📓]]-linked detail files), use context_search(source='task_note') instead — that's hybrid retrieval over note content; this is exact-text search over the line description.
