+version, an int `task_version`, or `task_version: "draft"` — the loop you build

+a whole inline `task`. `task_override` changes anything for this run only
+(objects merge, lists replace, null clears) — a different model, say. The run
+stores the exact resolved config as `config`.
+
+**Inline or background.** By default the call waits and answers with the
+finished run. `background: true` queues it and answers `202` at once; the
+workspace runs up to 3 background runs at a time, oldest first, and queues the
+rest — it never refuses for load. `run_task_batch` queues up to 1000 runs of one task in one
+call, all or nothing: one invalid item refuses the batch, naming `runs[i]`. Give
+each run `metadata` (≤16 string labels, e.g. `{candidate_id: "c_42"}`) and an
+`idempotency_key`: resending a key returns the existing run (`deduplicated`)
+instead of starting another, and the same key with a different request is a
+`409`. Read results with `list_task_runs` (filter by `task_id`, `status`,
+`metadata=key:value`, a creation window) and `get_task_run`, or subscribe a
+webhook to `task_run.completed`, sent once per run as it finishes.
+
+**Retries.** A background run is tried again — at most 3 tries — when its
+worker stopped under it, or when the model provider failed transiently before
+any tool ran, so a side-effecting tool never runs twice. Everything else settles
+on the first try. `tries` says how many there were; cost adds up across them.

+`cancel_task_run` stops a queued run at once and a running background one
+within seconds; an inline run cannot be canceled. `delete_task_run` (and

+config, keeping its cost and metadata — and a workspace's retention policy does
+the same on schedule (`content_expires_at`).
