Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I want to open a task to see the subtasks, it repeatedly happened to me that hit the DONE checkbox instead and mark the tasks done - with its whole tree of sub-tasks (and subsubtask etc.). When I mark the task back un-done, all subtasks stay done.
As I try to keep my tasks in structure, there are many sub-tasks. So, such simple mistypo can cause a lot of work and/or confusion.
Describe the solution you'd like
What about a silly reminder window like: "Not all subtasks are done. Do you want to mark them all done? Yes / No"
Describe alternatives you've considered
Second choice:
Allow task to be done, while its sub-tasks are stay pending...
Option to mark whole tree done/undone

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the task-tree completion flow in the Tasks UI, then trace how completing and undoing a parent affects its subtasks. Done should prevent accidental recursive completion or clearly offer confirmation, while preserving the requested alternative behavior if selected.
