29/// contains a `"role"` field it is treated as a [`Message`] (since `role` is
30/// required on `Message` but absent on `Task`). Otherwise it is treated as a
31/// [`Task`]. This avoids the ambiguity of serde `untagged` where a `Message`
32/// with fields that happen to overlap the `Task` schema could mis-deserialize.
