Reassignment is a real handoff: the Task’s owner changes. Before helping, make sure the receiving human or group is the intended one. A clean ownership change is much safer than two humans each assuming the other has it.
Reassign a task when task-level ownership changes. Do not use an @ mention as a substitute; a comment mention only sends a notification.
