Tasks

The unit of execution that flows through the runtime.

Issues vs tasks

An issue is the human-readable unit of work. A task is the machine-readable run that gets dispatched to a runtime when an agent picks up an issue. One issue can produce many tasks over its lifetime — retries, follow-ups, and reviewer round-trips each create a new task.

Task lifecycle

Enqueued → claimed → executing → completed or failed. Every transition is logged and visible on the issue timeline.
