Description

If tasks in the terminal are executing, the terminal app should continue tasks in the background when its window is closed. This way users can safely close the window and open it to come back to it later. If the task completes, the app should quit completely.

This helps further push us into the app-resumes-where-it-left-off territory and makes it so users can close the app at any time while allowing the task to continue, much like Noise.

If developers want an option to kill tasks when the window is closed, that could be a possibility.
