If the intent is to rule out 1.12.0, I think you need the extra tilde. I would also add a tilde in front of 1.12.1 to not claim that this means compatibility with 1.13.
Note though that this means that if you install Libtask on Julia 1.12.0 you'll get an old version, because the previous release that has julia = "~1.10.8, 1.11.6" as its compat is considered compatible with 1.12.0.
We were discussing this with Will last week. In a philosophical sense Libtask and Mooncake should both have an upper bound on their Julia version compatibility, because they rely on non-public compiler internals. But we can't really introduce one any more, because Pkg will just default to installing an old version that claims to be compatible with anything up to Julia v2.0.
Given that we can't actually stop a broken version of Libtask from being installed on 1.12.0, I think it's less confusing if at least it would install the latest version of Libtask. It would also cause less trouble by holding back other packages. Hence I'm inclined to not do this change.

Can we instead print a warning message if Libtask is used on Julia 1.12.0?
