Exercise 2: Your First Task — Possible Solution
====================================================================

STEPS
------------------------------
1. In your project's root, create a .vscode folder if one doesn't
   already exist (reusing the same folder from Chapter 5's
   settings.json/extensions.json).
2. Inside it, create tasks.json with:

{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "tasks": [
    {
      "label": "Build",
      "type": "shell",
      "command": "echo Build complete"
    }
  ]
}

3. Save the file.
4. Press Ctrl+Shift+P to open the Command Palette (Chapter 2), type
   "Tasks: Run Task", and press Enter.
5. A list appears showing "Build" (the label from the JSON) as an
   option. Select it.
6. A new terminal opens automatically and runs "echo Build complete",
   printing "Build complete" — without you ever typing that command
   directly into a terminal yourself.

WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER
------------------------------
This reuses the chapter's own tasks.json structure exactly — the
"version", "tasks" array, "label", "type": "shell", and "command"
fields are all directly copied from the chapter's own worked Build
task example, just with a trivial echo command standing in for a real
build command like npm run build, to keep this exercise runnable
without any specific project setup required.

Running it via "Tasks: Run Task" rather than typing "echo Build
complete" directly into a terminal is the entire point being
practiced here: the command itself now lives in a saved, version-
controllable file, reachable by its label through the Command
Palette — precisely the "turns a repeated command into a one-click
action" benefit the chapter opens this section with.
