Create a task

POST/api/tasks

Run a new task against an existing worker and wait for the result. Send a taskId of a prior task to add a follow-up turn instead of starting a fresh task. Send multipart/form-data to attach files; the bytes are bootstrapped into the worker’s workspace before the task starts. The task runs to completion on the server even if the connection drops; subscribe to task webhooks for long-running tasks.
