The literal types live on the [tasks subsystem page](../../../../docs/subsystems/tasks.md). A producer calls `ctx.tasks.start()` with a kind, label, optional owning `Agent`, optional positive `outputLimitBytes`, and a `run()` function. The runtime completes all failable preflight work before calling `run()` and invokes it once. After `run()` returns hooks, registration commits without another failable step; a producer cannot start work that lacks a collectable task id.
|
||||
|
||||
The process-local provider also owns bounded admission. Its positive-safe-integer `maxConcurrentTasksPerOwner` config defaults to `10`; `start()` derives each exact `Agent` object's active count from `running` and `stopping` records, while every unowned task shares one service bucket. Capacity rejection occurs before `run()` and id allocation, and producer `done` settlement is the only event that releases a stopping task's place. The provider does not queue, preempt, or retain a second mutable count.
|
||||
|
||||
`outputLimitBytes` is producer-owned presentation policy, not a registry buffer. The registry validates and projects it unchanged into `TaskSnapshot`; generic control surfaces apply the cap to complete model-facing output after adding their own status or notice metadata. Omitting it preserves the existing surface behavior, so the runtime does not impose a hidden default on unrelated producer families.
|
||||
|
||||
A model-facing producer exposes that committed id in its canonical success value, normally `{ kind: 'background', taskId }`; Native rendering may keep human-readable prose. A pre-aborted background call fails rather than returning a no-op because no task exists to satisfy the promised handle. Once registration publishes the id, cancellation belongs to the task's own controller and the task runtime: later cancellation of the producing tool call must not kill the published task. `task_kill`, owner disposal, and service teardown request cancellation; foreground execution remains coupled to the call's `exec.signal`.

## Testing
|

|

Unit coverage pins preflight atomicity, per-kind ids, output-limit validation and projection, complete UTF-8 result bounds, stream and final reads, wait timeout and abort races, cancellation, first-wins settlement, listener containment, notice suppression, owner isolation, stale owner instances, owner cleanup, service teardown, and the no-surface fence. Producer tests cover bash process mapping, subagent startup cancellation, terminal mapping, and disposal. Snapshot coverage pins the control-tool schemas and prompt guidance.

Producer tests cover bash process mapping, subagent startup cancellation, terminal mapping, and disposal. Snapshot coverage pins the control-tool schemas, prompt guidance, and an assembled ACP path where the configured limit rejects a second real background Bash task with a `task_kill` recovery action.

|

## Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
Bash commands and subagents share one id vocabulary, listing, notice format, prompt habit, and set of control tools. New long-running producers implement execution hooks instead of another registry and tool family. The [tool cookbook](../../../../docs/cookbook/adding-a-tool.md) points producers to this contract.
|
||||
|
||||
One exact owner cannot grow process-local Task-backed work without bound, and another owner does not consume its allowance. A cancellation request keeps capacity occupied until the producer actually releases its resource, so replacing slow-stopping work cannot exceed the configured live-resource budget.
|
||||
|
||||
Owned background bash now stops with its agent instead of surviving it. Background processes have no executor timeout; callers must kill irrelevant work or rely on owner/service disposal. Stream reads support one consuming reader, completion notices do not wake idle agents, and a producer that returns from `cancel` without settling `done` can still stall teardown. Durable jobs, independent observation cursors, and foreground promotion remain separate designs.
