Fixes the jarring UI flicker that occurs when cancelling a task.
Problem
When cancelling a task, Task.dispose() caused the UI to briefly navigate to the home view before returning to the task, creating a jarring user experience.
Root Cause
The issue was in ClineProvider.createTaskWithHistoryItem() which always called removeClineFromStack() first, causing the task stack to be temporarily empty and triggering the home view.
