Description

Instead of just the completed timestamp.

This helps when:

  • you're curious how long the scan you just started will take
  • you're curious if your coworker started an analysis on a particular file yet
  • there's a problem with modules taking absurdly long times to run

Research direction

Start by locating the Task DB implementation and the code that currently stores the completed timestamp. Trace how task start and completion are recorded, then identify existing tests for this persistence path. Done means the database stores started and completed timestamps plus duration, supporting progress and unusually long-running task checks.
