Testing #326540

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: Insiders with the experimental Markdown editor
• OS Version: macOS
• Audited package revision: microsoft/vscode-packages@1d81418d61ad769f154579196a51a9364c105e2d

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a Markdown document containing an empty task item:

   - [ ] 

2. Put the caret after the trailing space.

3. Press Enter.

Expected

As with an empty list item, Enter removes the empty task marker and exits the list into a normal paragraph.

Actual

The empty task remains and a new regular list item is inserted:

- [ ] 
- 

Pressing Enter a second time removes the new regular marker but still leaves the original empty task item behind.

Impact

Users get stuck in an unexpected list state and accumulate empty task entries that must be cleaned up manually. The behavior also differs from regular list exit semantics, even though task items are rendered as list items.
