The icon change looks good and aligns with the requirement. Is there a reason we're not also updating the command identifier from plusButtonClicked to something like newTaskButtonClicked for better semantic clarity? This could be done in a follow-up PR to avoid breaking changes.

Good catch updating the test expectations! Have we considered adding a test case that specifically validates the icon rendering or at least documents why we chose over other compose-related icons like or ``?
