Review: Issues Found in tasks.json Configuration

I've reviewed the added VSCode tasks and identified several errors that need to be corrected:

Issues Identified:

Incorrectgroup syntax - The group property should be an object{"kind": "build"}, not a string"build"
Missing Windows compatibility - Commands using./fbt won't work on Windows (should befbt.cmd orfbt.bat)
Missing newline at end of file - JSON files should end with a newline
MissingproblemMatcher - Tasks should include appropriate problem matchers for better VS Code integration

Corrected Configuration:

Here's the properly formatted version:

{"label":"[FBT] Format","group": {"kind":"build"  },"type":"shell","command":"./fbt","args": ["format"],"windows": {"command":"fbt.cmd","args": ["format"]  },"problemMatcher": []},{"label":"[FBT] Clear","group": {"kind":"build"  },"type":"shell","command":"./fbt","args": ["-c"],"windows": {"command":"fbt.cmd","args": ["-c"]  },"problemMatcher": []},

Key Changes Explained:

group object format: VS Code's task schema requiresgroup to be an object with akind property for proper task categorization
args array: Separated command and arguments for better cross-platform compatibility and proper shell escaping
windows property: Provides Windows-specific command (fbt.cmd) ensuring the tasks work on both Unix and Windows environments
problemMatcher: Added empty array to suppress VS Code warnings (can be enhanced with custom matchers if needed)
File ending: Ensure the file ends with a newline character

These changes ensure the tasks work correctly across all platforms and follow VS Code's task configuration best practices.
