LGTM! 👍🏻
Re:@DanielleMaywood's concern, I think the name is more suitable there than the display name (especially considering space constraints), but it could be a bit confusing. I think we can wait for customer feedback on this, though.

I also had that question, but I think it makes sense to keep showing the task name because we already show the display name in the sidebar. This way, the user is able to more easily identify which task name is associated with the task display name. Additionally, since the workspace name matches the task name, showing the task name in the top bar helps users connect the task to its associated workspace when navigating between views.
