Contributions summary:Vaibhav contributed to the Tekton CLI, enhancing its functionality by enabling the setting of Kubernetes context and the inclusion of timeout descriptions for TaskRun and PipelineRun. They removed a deprecated shorthand for task start and added flags to list TaskRuns and PipelineRuns across all namespaces, as well as the ability to sort them in reverse order. The user also added a no-headers flag to the taskrun/pipelinerun list command to allow easier parsing.
