Before 2.0 I could toggle the output like so:

    local toggle_runner = function(cmd)
      -- Close if terminal.
      if vim.bo.buftype == "terminal" then
        vim.cmd("close")
        return
      end

      -- Check for Overseer window.
      for _, win in ipairs(vim.api.nvim_list_wins()) do
        local buf = vim.api.nvim_win_get_buf(win)
        if vim.bo[buf].filetype == "Overseer" then
          vim.api.nvim_win_close(win, true)
          return
        end
      end

      -- Otherwise, run command.
      vim.cmd(cmd)
    end

    map({
      mode = "n",
      lhs = "<M-;>",
      rhs = function()
        toggle_runner("OverseerQuickAction open float")
      end,
      desc = "Overseer: open task in floating window",
    })

Not sure how to achieve this after the update. Open to any suggestions...

Figured it out! Here is the solution, for anyone wondering:

local function toggle_runner(window)
  if vim.bo.buftype == "terminal" then
    vim.cmd("close")
    return
  end

  -- Check for Overseer window.
  local task_list = require("overseer.task_list")
  local tasks = overseer.list_tasks({
    status = {
      overseer.STATUS.RUNNING,
      overseer.STATUS.SUCCESS,
      overseer.STATUS.FAILURE,
      overseer.STATUS.CANCELED,
    },
    sort = task_list.sort_finished_recently,
  })

  if vim.tbl_isempty(tasks) then
    vim.notify("No tasks found", vim.log.levels.WARN, overseer_title)
  else
    local most_recent = tasks[1]
    overseer.run_action(most_recent, "open " .. window)
  end
end

map({
  mode = "n",
  lhs = "<M-;>",
  rhs = function()
    toggle_runner("float")
  end,
  desc = "Overseer: open task in floating window",
})
