P003 internal-task

CI calls a task that the task runner marks as internal, private or hidden.

Severity: error.

Example

version: "3"
tasks:
  deploy:
    cmds:
      - task: deploy:prod
  deploy:prod:
    internal: true
    cmds:
      - ./scripts/deploy.sh prod

jobs:
  release:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v7
      - name: Deploy
        run: task deploy:prod

.github/workflows/release.yml
  7:19   P003 internal-task 'deploy:prod' is marked internal: true and should not be invoked from CI

With just the message says is private, and with mise is hidden.

Runner	Internal when
Taskfile	`internal: true` on the task, or on its include
just	`[private]`, or the name starts with `_`
mise	`hide = true`, or a `#MISE hide=true` line in a file task
make	never

Why it matters

Task refuses to run an internal task from the command line, so the step fails. With just and mise, a private or hidden task is a helper the author didn’t mean as an entry point.

How to fix it

Call the public task that uses it (task deploy above), or make the task public if CI should call it directly.
