Issue

Running task loop-over-tasks fails with error:

task: Failed to run task "loop-over-tasks": task: Maximum task call exceeded (0) for task "my-task": probably an cyclic dep or infinite loop

Taskfile:

Raised the limit from 100 to 1000 for now. For more information see #1332.

That should unblock me in the context of the current problem-solving/implementation.
Thank you 🎉
