Indicate if Task Exited for both dependency tasks

Both tasks exited, but the list to the right does not reflect this.

I would expect the checkmark and error icon to disappear.

Hmm, I think the actual issue is that deemon reports the exit code 0 when killed :(

Still, I think this feature would be very useful. By looking at the terminal overview, it should be easy to see if a task is still running or exited.

Not saying there isn't a bug in deemon... but unsure if this is related to that.

I think the list still shows simply cause the terminals are still open. The list could render something else... but that wouldn't make sense in simple compile tasks, in which you still want to see the result color in the list, after the task ended.

I think if deemon would report a non-zero exit code, the task would be marked as failed.
Then I could easily see if the task is still running or not.

Currently, the checkmark next to a task gives a false sense of safety, as the deemon task could have been killed.
If you look at the task list and see a checkmark there, you could think everything is alright and running, while in fact, deenon could have been killed and no files are transpiled anymore.
