Description
The basic process and the error message is thus:
```
$ task export > all-tasks.json
$ pacman -Syu task
... installs task 3.0.0 ...
$ task import all-tasks.json
Importing 'all-tasks.json'
Error: missing ']' at position 1
```
Output of `task diag`:
```

So... I see in another git issue here that it was surprising Arch was upgrading people with no warning. It seems that, actually, something else is going on?
I note that the PKBUILD in the Arch /extra/ repository _looks_ fine to me: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/task/-/blob/main/PKGBUILD?ref_type=heads
So I am not sure what is up here!
I also don't know if this is actually the cause of my issue - it could be something entirely unrelated to the upgrade. I mean, if I am indeed on 2.6.2, import should work as expected for 2.6.2!
My package manager upgraded me without me being aware of breaking changes. So I was actually on whatever the Arch repositories says is 3.0.0 for a while. I didn't notice any breakages whatsoever. Given it seems that 3.0.0 is actually 2.6.2 here, that is probably why...
Current plan of action: build task 3.0.0 myself, and see if task import works without a hitch.
The question I have in case it doesn't, I guess, would be if there's some obvious regex to someone familiar with the relevant .json structure I can run to catch any breakages in the .json. Probably it would be easy to spot with a small file, but I have just shy of 5,000 lines.
Thank you for your work!
