Research direction

Start by tracing the calendar export and subscription flow described in the reproduction steps, comparing the generated subscription with how tasks appear in the Calendar app. Verify the result with Fastmail, iOS Calendar, or Google Calendar; done means subscribed calendars expose both calendar entries and tasks.
