Contributions summary:Taylor primarily contributed to the core functionality of the `pueue` project, which manages shell commands. Their work focused on expanding the command queuing capabilities by implementing features such as adding the `--stash` and `--delay` flags for task management, and allowing delayed enqueuing, indicating a focus on task scheduling and state control. These changes included modifications to the command-line interface, daemon logic, state management, and message handling to support the new features, improving the task control and flexibility of the program. Moreover, the user also corrected errors and enhanced the output information provided by the application, such as adding an "Enqueued At" column to display the enqueue time.
