 * **tasks:** register the native task tools at `session_start` instead of six seconds after startup. A prompt sent inside that window used to go out with the pre-registration tool set, and the next request carried four more tools plus their prompt guidelines, so the request prefix changed once per session and every provider-side prompt cache missed (a full ~22k-token re-prefill on llama-server). The timer stays as a backstop and an external `pi-tasks` that answered the startup ping still wins.
