I’m trying to understand Task monitoring and supervision. Since the Tasks started under Task.Supervisor are transient and not restarted, is the sole role of the Task.Supervisor to be a buffer between the calling process and the Task?
Supervisors play other roles beyond supervision. If the task supervisor is part of a supervision tree, they provide discoverability, for example I can use observer to reach the task supervisor and each of its children, and can also ensure a clean shutdown when the application terminates, by guaranteeing all child tasks terminate in a given grace period before they are effectively terminated.

Understood. Thanks for the detail.
