What's Wrong?

When using the /clear command to clear conversation history, the task list is also cleared. This contradicts the documentation which states that tasks should persist across context compactions and the /clear command should only clear conversation history.

I tested this behavior in two separate projects and confirmed that tasks created with TaskCreate are deleted after running /clear.

What Should Happen?

According to the documentation, tasks should persist after running /clear. The /clear command should only clear the conversation history, not the task list. Tasks should remain accessible via TaskList after the context is cleared.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start a Claude Code session in any project
2. 2. Create a task using TaskCreate tool with any subject and description
3. 3. Verify the task exists by running TaskList
4. 4. Run the /clear command to clear conversation history
5. 5. Check the task list again using TaskList

Expected Result: Task should still be present in the list
Actual Result: TaskList returns "No tasks found"

I reproduced this behavior in multiple independent projects and confirmed it occurs consistently.
