Description
Describe the feature you'd like
I would like to see the truncated task titles because this behavior makes them unusable when using the task launcher.
Related - https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/248594
For example, the current format of the task title - dotnet build x:/full/path/to/project/, in case of long paths, it is impossible to see the actual project I'm about to select. The current features of VS Code don't provide meaningful workarounds
I think this should be changed to dotnet build relative/path or even something like dotnet build: ProjectName
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/248594
Alternatives considered
Change VS Code itself to support such scenarios.

Research direction
Start with the task launcher scenarios described in this issue and compare the current title format with related VS Code issue #248594. Determine how titles such as dotnet build x:/full/path/to/project/ should present the project or relative path, then verify that the selected task remains identifiable in long-path cases.
