"""
Task Management Module for LM Evaluation Harness.

This module provides comprehensive task discovery, loading, and management functionality
for the LM Evaluation Harness. It handles YAML configuration parsing with include support,
dynamic function importing, and task indexing across multiple directories.

Key Components:
- TaskManager: Main class for task discovery and management
- YAML configuration loading with !function tag support
- Task, group, and tag indexing
- Include resolution with cycle detection
- Caching for performance optimization

Example:
    Basic usage::

        task_manager = TaskManager()
        all_tasks = task_manager.all_tasks
        task_config = task_manager._get_config("hellaswag")

    Custom task paths::

        task_manager = TaskManager(
            include_path="/path/to/custom/tasks",
            include_defaults=True
        )
