Description

I love the plugin but wondering a bit in terms of workflow efficiency.

When I work on my tasks I usually do my work and then mark the completed tasks as DONE at some point. At this state I usually still want to keep them in the list until I get full confirmation which then clutters my list a bit and I am looking for a way to somehow change the state of all tasks with a certain state. ie. "archive all done tasks" or something like this.

This feels fairly common to me but I'm wondering if I'm just generally approaching this wrong and would be interested to hear what the intended workflow would be or how I could achieve alterations for a group of tasks by state or tag?

Research direction

The issue asks about archiving DONE tasks and applying state or tag changes in bulk, but it does not name any files, tests, or entry points. First clarify the intended workflow and acceptance criteria before locating the relevant task-state and archive behavior. Done should be defined for both archiving completed tasks and bulk state or tag changes.
