+- **Task lifecycle visualization** — `AxoTaskView` now renders each lifecycle outcome distinctly: a solid green circle for *Busy*, a `stop` icon plus dedicated *Resume* button for *Aborted*, an `x-mark` with a hover tooltip exposing `ErrorDetails` for *Error*, and a `lock-closed` icon when disabled. See [src/core/docs/AxoTask.md](src/core/docs/AxoTask.md#terminal-state-affordances-in-axotaskview) and the live `/core/AxoTask` page in the showcase app.

+`AxoTask` exposes its full lifecycle through the Blazor proxy `AxoTaskView`: distinct button colour + icon per state (Ready / Busy / Done / Aborted / Error), a `Resume` button alongside `Reset task` while *Aborted*, the `ErrorDetails` message surfaced via native tooltip while in *Error*, and a `lock-closed` icon when the task is disabled. The `/core/AxoTask` page in the showcase app exercises every state — including dedicated `AxoTaskErrorExample` and `AxoTaskAbortedExample` tiles. For the full mapping see [src/core/docs/AxoTask.md](src/core/docs/AxoTask.md#terminal-state-affordances-in-axotaskview).

 ### Remote Tasks
 
 In addition to tasks that are executed within the controller, `AXOpen` provides a mechanism for executing complex tasks that do not require the determinism of an industrial controller such as database access, extensive calculations, etc. A remote task is invoked from the controller, but the actual action is performed in a .NET application.
