Deferred tasks keep their exact place

Deferring work should make it disappear until the right time, not quietly re-file it. A returned task could previously land in Today or Inbox instead of keeping the list and position where you left it, especially after several tasks returned together.

The same saved place and the same neighbors

Defer now preserves the task's saved list and manual order. Its place between neighboring tasks remains intact in In Progress, Today, Priority, or Inbox, and returning several tasks keeps their relative order too.

Your due date and reminder remain yours

The return time is now only a temporary hide clock. It no longer creates, replaces, or clears a due date, and it never changes a reminder. You can change or clear the due date while a task is Deferred without moving its return time.

Today still shows what is due

If an existing due date or reminder has arrived while a Priority or Inbox task was hidden, the task appears in Today when it returns because Today surfaces due work. Its saved list has not changed. In Progress tasks remain In Progress.
