Continue on error

Is there a functionality that could make a task continue execution even there is an error ? Context: I am trying taskfile to do CI checks. So I am currently doing python (pylint & bandit) & terraform (tflint & trivy) checks. I migrated the checks for each tech in an included taskfile like this:

includes:
  python_tasks:
    taskfile: ./tasks/python.yml
  terraform_tasks:
    taskfile: ./tasks/terraform.yml

includes:
  python_tasks:
    taskfile: ./tasks/python.yml
  terraform_tasks:
    taskfile: ./tasks/terraform.yml

So in each of these taskfiles each check is a separate task. For example the pylint checks can be executed as python_tasks:run_pylint, etc. Naturally I setup the default to depend on each check (example with the python taskfile):

  default:
    run: once
    deps:
      - run_pylint
      - run_bandit

  default:
    run: once
    deps:
      - run_pylint
      - run_bandit

Now I have the below tasks defined to triger the included ones:

tasks:
  python_checks:
    run: once
    cmds:
      - task: python_tasks:default

  terraform_checks:
    run: once
    cmds:
      - task: terraform_tasks:default

  default:
    run: once
    deps:
      - python_checks
      - terraform_checks

tasks:
  python_checks:
    run: once
    cmds:
      - task: python_tasks:default

  terraform_checks:
    run: once
    cmds:
      - task: terraform_tasks:default

  default:
    run: once
    deps:
      - python_checks
      - terraform_checks

So when I run the task I want all the checks to happen (regardless if one of them fails). Again example with the python tasks: if the run_pylint check fails because there are pylint findings, the run_bandit one should still execute. And the same logic for the parent taskfile: if the python_checks task fails the terraform_checks one still executes. What I have seen so far is the whole execution halts on error so even on python checks issues, the terraform checks also stop. Which defeats the whole purpose... Now I could work around all that by setting ignore_error: true on every task but then when this is all run in CI/CD everything will just exit with 0 (no matter the findings) so all tests will be marked successful (even if they weren't)... What are my options here? TL;DR: How can I make deps finish even when errors in one of them occurs?
