`{{.CLI_ARGS}}` is templated as an array instead of string.

Description

Consider this taskfile.yaml:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://taskfile.dev/schema.json
version: "3"
tasks:
  test:
    cmds:
      - 'echo "arguments: {{.CLI_ARGS}}"'

Before v3.43.1 this would print:

"arguments: "

Now it prints:

"arguments: []"

In my taskfiles, I used to always append {{.CLI_ARGS}} to a command such that users may add more arguments via --. Now this would need some sort of concatenation which I'm not sure how to achieve.

Is this expected behaviour or a regression?

Update

As a workaround, or the new way to do this, this works for me:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://taskfile.dev/schema.json
version: "3"
tasks:
  test:
    cmds:
      - |
        echo "arguments: {{ join " " .CLI_ARGS}}"

Unfortunately this makes handling quotes a little more uncomfortable.

Just FYI this seems to be solved here: https://github.com/go-task/task/releases/tag/v3.43.2
