fix: handle multiple task outputs correctly in conditional tasks

- Fix IndexError in _handle_conditional_task by using first output
- Modify _execute_tasks to accumulate task outputs instead of resetting
- Update _create_crew_output to handle multiple outputs correctly
- Add tests for multiple tasks with conditional and multiple conditional tasks
