6//! Task persistence trait and in-memory implementation.
7//!
8//! [`TaskStore`] abstracts task persistence so that the server framework can
9//! be backed by any storage engine. [`InMemoryTaskStore`] provides a
10//! pre-allocated `HashMap`-based implementation suitable for testing and
11//! single-process deployments.

26/// Trait for persisting and retrieving [`Task`] objects.
27///
28/// All methods return `Pin<Box<dyn Future>>` for object safety — this trait
29/// is used as `Box<dyn TaskStore>`.
30///
31/// # Object safety
32///
33/// Do not add `async fn` methods; use the explicit `Pin<Box<...>>` form.
34///
35/// # Example
36///
37/// ```rust
38/// use std::future::Future;

154 /// hands the store the whole task. The task grows with every chunk, so the
155 /// cost of one event is proportional to the number of events before it, and
156 /// the cost of a stream is quadratic in its length. Measured on the
157 /// `backpressure/append_volume` benchmark, a 502-event stream spent 43.4 ms
158 /// against the in-memory store versus 3.2 ms against a store that discards
159 /// everything: **13.5× of that stream was re-persisting artifacts already
160 /// persisted.**
161 ///
162 /// `delta` says exactly what changed, so a store that can update a record
163 /// in place does work proportional to the change rather than to the record.
164 ///
165 /// # Implementing this
166 ///
167 /// The default replaces the whole record via `save`, which is always
168 /// correct — every existing implementation keeps working unchanged, and a
169 /// store with no incremental update path should keep it. Overriding is
170 /// worthwhile for any store where applying a delta is cheaper than
171 /// rewriting the record.
172 ///
173 /// All three stores shipped here override it, and what each one wins
174 /// differs with its storage model:
175 ///
176 /// | Store | Approach | Measured on a 500-chunk stream |
177 /// |---|---|---|
178 /// | [`InMemoryTaskStore`] | Mutates the stored task in place | 43.4 ms to 2.5 ms |
179 /// | `SqliteTaskStore` | `json_set` splices the tail into the document | 144.5 ms to 127.6 ms |
180 /// | `PostgresTaskStore` | `jsonb_set` with `\|\|` array concat | 798 ms to 500 ms |
181 ///
182 /// The in-memory win is the largest because a full `save` there is a deep
183 /// clone and a delta is a `Vec` extend. The SQL stores keep one JSON
184 /// document per row, so they still rewrite the row internally; what the
185 /// delta removes is the Rust-side serialization of the whole task and its
186 /// transfer as a bind parameter. That is enough to flatten Postgres's
187 /// per-event cost — 874, 1183, 1597 µs at 50, 250 and 500 chunks with
188 /// `save`, against 853, 840, 1000 µs with the delta — but not to make
189 /// either SQL store as cheap as memory. Only normalising artifacts into
190 /// their own table would do that, and the same measurements put the
191 /// per-event round trip well above the document-size term, so it would buy
192 /// the smaller half.
193 ///
194 /// An override **must** leave the store holding exactly what `save(task)`
195 /// would have left it holding. `delta` describes a change already present
196 /// in `task`; if an implementation cannot apply it — the record is missing,
