# Bake task macros
Procedural macros for socketry-bake. Most users access the attribute through
`#[bake::task]`, re-exported by the core library.
The attribute preserves the original synchronous function and generates a sibling
`function_task()` returning a task descriptor. It also adds the descriptor to Bake's
link-time registration table for `Registry::discover()`. Nested Rust modules become
task namespaces. Use `name = "namespace:task"` to override the command name, and
`runtime = ::alias` if the core dependency was renamed from bake.
Use `#[bake::task(output)]` when a task handles its own user-facing output. Use
`#[bake(input)] input: bake::Value` to receive the result from the preceding task.
Tasks accept owned FromStr arguments and an optional context reference. They return
a Result with a serializable successful value and a displayable error. The macro
rejects async, unsafe, foreign, generic, variadic, and receiver-based signatures.
