Safety
- Writes data: Yes. Permanently deletes the task. To keep a record, set
statustoarchivedwithPATCHinstead. - Safe to retry: Yes. A repeat returns
404because the task is already gone. - Contacts an outside system: None
- Dry run: Not available.
Rolling out: this endpoint is on staging first and not yet on
api.healos.ai.404 and nothing is deleted.
