fix: Clean up remaining automatic task file generation calls (#1025)

* Don't generate task files unless requested

* add changeset

* switch to optional generate flag instead of skip-generate based on new default

* switch generate default to false and update flags and docs

* revert DO/DON'T section

* use simpler non ANSI-C quoting
