**Tell us about your request**
What do you want us to build? I would like to have dependencies between tasks within the same service, for example if I have task a that is dependent on task b within the same cluster/service/container then I would like that ability.
**Which service(s) is this request for?**
Fargate, ECS

Contributor guide
Research direction
The request concerns dependencies between tasks within the same ECS/Fargate service, with manual follow-up steps and entry-script waits as the current workaround. No implementation files or tests are named; first clarify the dependency semantics and lifecycle expectations, and consider the work done when an agreed ECS/Fargate capability replaces those workarounds.
