No response

Feature value

As files grow in size and more and more tasks are completed - it would be nice to be able to fold based on task completion so that you could quickly at a glance see the tasks that are pending.

Additional context

Archiving kinda works to trim big files but is less optimal as it depends on the way you organize big tasks, i.e. if a task has many subtasks then archiving them doesn't preserve their context.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the existing folding behavior and task-completion state handling in the Lua codebase, then determine how completed tasks should be hidden while preserving their surrounding context. Done should be demonstrated by folding a growing org file to show only pending tasks without losing task hierarchy.
