Description
Type: Feature Request
When running Docker Compose commands via the Docker extension UI (e.g., right-clicking a container and selecting "Compose Stop"), the terminal shows:
"* Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it."
This requires manual intervention to close the terminal after each command finishes.
Custom VS Code tasks support a presentation property to auto-close terminals:
"presentation": {
"close": true

Research direction
Start from the Docker extension UI entry point for Compose commands, such as right-clicking a container and selecting "Compose Stop," and trace how the terminal task is created. Compare that task with the VS Code presentation property shown in the issue, then verify that Compose commands close their terminals automatically when finished.
