I just realized that, we are apparently inconsistency when it comes to _ vs - for word separation?

I think the default is to use -, and we only use _ for experiments to mirror the environment variable. I’m open to discussing it, tho

We should probably wrap this into a mutex.

Good catch! I've implemented a Once to be sure this is executed only once

Problem
The fuzzy model was trained on every Task invocation (including shell autocompletion), causing performance issues with hundreds/thousands of tasks. The model is only needed when a task doesn't exist to show "Did you mean...?" suggestions.
Solution
Setup()) (thanks @trulede for the suggestion)--disable-fuzzyflag anddisable-fuzzytaskrc option to completely disable the featureChanges
Setup()to lazy init inGetTask()DisableFuzzyoption to taskrc, flags, and ExecutorPerformance
Compatibility
Fully backward compatible. Fuzzy matching enabled by default, users can opt-out via
.taskrc.ymlor--disable-fuzzy.Related Issues
