CSS styling for past and future scheduled dates not applied if date inferred from the file name

[claremacrae]

Please check that this issue hasn't been reported before.

• [X] I searched previous Bug Reports didn't find any similar reports.

Expected Behavior

GIVEN a vault configured to infer task scheduled dates from dates in file names WHEN I set up custom styling for schedule dates THEN I would like tasks with inferred scheduled dates to be styled the same as tasks with matching actual scheduled dates

Current behaviour

Since any scheduled dates inferred from file names are not displayed, such tasks are not styled either.

Steps to reproduce

1. Add and enabled this CSS snippet:

/* DATED IN FUTURE - for actionable tasks */
/* Future tasks - show description in grey, with grey background */

.task-list-item[data-task-status-type="TODO"][data-task-due^="future-"] span,
.task-list-item[data-task-status-type="TODO"][data-task-start^="future-"] span,
.task-list-item[data-task-status-type="TODO"][data-task-scheduled^="future-"] span,
.task-list-item[data-task-status-type="IN_PROGRESS"][data-task-due^="future-"] span,
.task-list-item[data-task-status-type="IN_PROGRESS"][data-task-start^="future-"] span,
.task-list-item[data-task-status-type="IN_PROGRESS"][data-task-scheduled^="future-"] span {
    color: var(--text-faint);
    background: var(--color-base-30);
    border-radius: 6px;
    padding: 1px 1px;
}

This will grey/gray out all future scheduled tasks.

2. Create a file called 2023-05-15 auto-scheduled.md
3. Paste in this content

## Search

```tasks
not done
filename includes 2023-05-15 auto-scheduled
group by happens
```

4. View the file in Reading mode

Actual result received:

Tasks whose scheduled date came from the filename are not greyed/grayed out

Expected result:

That all the tasks are displayed in grey/grey - both the task lines, and the results block.

@mvdkwast As the person who kindly wrote the inferred scheduled date code, I wanted to you let you see this in advance...

Basically, I'm proposing to change the behaviour so that inferred scheduled dates are rendered:

• on tasks shown in Reading mode
• in Tasks results blocks

So basically changes like this:

            case 'scheduledDate':
-               if (!task.scheduledDate || task.scheduledDateIsInferred) return '';
+               if (!task.scheduledDate) return '';
                return layout.options.shortMode
                    ? ' ' + scheduledDateSymbol
                    : ` ${scheduledDateSymbol} ${task.scheduledDate.format(TaskRegularExpressions.dateFormat)}`;
