-Supported field types are `text`, `integer`, `date`, `datetime`, `choice`,
-`multi_choice`, and `file`. Text may also define a regular-expression
-`pattern`; integer fields accept `minimum`, `maximum`, and `step`. Choices may
-use strings or objects with `value` and `label`. File fields accept a list of
-lowercase filename extensions in `accept` and a byte limit in `maximum_bytes`.
-An input can define `required` and `default`.
-Set `sensitive` to `true` for a value or upload that must not appear in run
-history. The form masks sensitive text, the database records `[redacted]`, and
-the original value is available only through a private execution input file.
-Tasks listed in the manifest appear in JSON order. A listed task may use `{}`
-when it only needs ordering; unlisted scripts appear afterward in alphabetical
-order. `label` is optional and overrides the group name displayed in the UI.
-Set `wait_for_result` to `true` for a short task whose form should wait for its
-final success or failure status. This disables the form and warns before
-leaving the page while the task is running; tasks without it keep the normal
-queued-run behavior.
+`title` is optional on a group and task. A group otherwise uses its directory
+name; a task otherwise uses its filename without `.py`, with underscores made
+readable. `description` is optional on a task and otherwise comes from the
+first non-empty line of its module docstring. The order of keys in `tasks`
+controls the listed tasks' display order. Include a task as `{}` when only
+ordering is needed. Unlisted direct Python files follow alphabetically.
 
-For a task with a review-first operation, declare `execution` with the input
-field and its review and execution values. The control panel generates the
-mode selector attached to the submit button. A successful review run offers a
-button that repeats the same saved inputs using the execution value; it does not reuse a stale filesystem
-snapshot, so the task must still validate its inputs before changing anything.
+Each task declaration may contain `title`, `description`, `inputs`,
+`wait_for_result`, `download_artifacts`, and `execution`. Set
+`wait_for_result` for short tasks where the form should remain blocked until it
+reports success or failure. The control panel disables its controls and warns
+before page unload while such a task runs. `download_artifacts` additionally
+starts the first non-JSON artifact download after a successful browser run;
+reserve it for files such as archives that the browser should download
+automatically.
+
+Every input has `name`, `label`, and `type`; `required` defaults to `false`.
+`default` is allowed for every type except `file`.
+
+- `text`: optional `pattern`, a Python-compatible regular expression.
+- `integer`: optional `minimum`, `maximum`, and positive `step`.
+- `date` and `datetime`: ISO-formatted browser date controls.
+- `choice`: `options` is required, as strings or `{ "value", "label" }` objects.
+- `multi_choice`: the same required `options`; its `default` is an array.
+- `file`: optional lowercase extension list in `accept` and positive byte cap
+  in `maximum_bytes`.
+
+Set `sensitive` to `true` on text or file inputs that must not appear in run
+history. Text is masked, the database records `[redacted]`, and the original
+value is available only through a private execution-input file. Uploaded files
+are likewise retained privately for the run and then removed.
+
+For review-first tasks, use `execution`. It produces one split button: click
+the main part to use its current mode, or use the arrow to select the other
+mode. A successful review run can be repeated with its saved inputs in the
+execution mode from the run-detail page. The task must still revalidate the
+live filesystem before changing anything.

-## Downloads
+## Artifacts
 
-Tasks can write downloadable files to the directory named by
-`SERVER_MAINTENANCE_ARTIFACTS`. Set `download_artifacts` to `true` alongside
-`wait_for_result` to start the first artifact download after a successful web
-run. Run-detail pages also show available downloads. The server deletes an
