[BUG] TaskCreate batch calls display tasks in random order instead of creation order

What's Wrong?
When calling multiple TaskCreate tools in parallel within a single response, the resulting task list displays tasks in a seemingly random order instead of the order they were created in.
For example, creating 11 tasks in order (step 1 through step 11), the returned task IDs and display order are jumbled:
- Task #145: step 1
- Task #144: step 2
- Task #141: step 3
- Task #143: step 4
- Task #140: step 5
- Task #142: step 6
The IDs are not sequential and the display order does not match creation order.
What Should Happen?
Tasks created in a batch should be assigned sequential IDs and displayed in creation order (i.e., the order the TaskCreate calls were made).
Steps to Reproduce
- In a single response, call TaskCreate 6+ times in parallel
- Observe the returned task IDs are not sequential
- Call TaskList - tasks are displayed in random order, not creation order
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.71
