Extending task results returend from the context in the post lifecycle hook

[henk-badenhorst]

Hello Nx,

I was experimenting with the Pre and Post Lifecycle hooks in this branch. It works great and is a fantastic addition to NX. The postTasksExecution function contains a context parameter that has the PostTasksExecutionContext interface. This context contains an object of TaskResults. However, I am missing the command executed by the user and the timings of the primary command. Therefore, I would like to recommend that we extend the TaskResults to also include the following:

"run": {
  "command": "nx run-many --target=test --projects=cart",
  "startTime": "2025-05-05T22:29:53.490Z",
  "endTime": "2025-05-05T22:29:56.656Z"
},
"tasks": {
  ...TaskResults
}

This will be really helpful as currently we need to calculate the command duration by looping over eache task and getting its duration and then adding it all togeather. Secondly having the top-level command is handly to have. In conclusion my question in can we extend the TaskResults of the context parameter to return a similar object as that is writtent to the.nx/cache/run.json?
