36/// Trait for persisting and retrieving [`Task`] objects.
37///
38/// All methods return `Pin<Box<dyn Future>>` for object safety — this trait
39/// is used as `Box<dyn TaskStore>`.
40///
41/// # Object safety
42///
43/// Do not add `async fn` methods; use the explicit `Pin<Box<...>>` form.
44///
45/// # Example
46///
47/// ```rust
48/// use std::future::Future;
49/// use std::pin::Pin;
50/// use a2a_protocol_types::error::A2aResult;
51/// use a2a_protocol_types::params::ListTasksParams;
52/// use a2a_protocol_types::responses::TaskListResponse;
53/// use a2a_protocol_types::task::{Task, TaskId};
54/// use a2a_protocol_server::store::TaskStore;

56/// /// A no-op store that rejects all operations (for illustration).

481    // makes a wrong snapshot *detectable*, gives a reconnecting subscriber
