| `running`   | **No**      | Rejected                                      | —                   |
| `succeeded` | Yes         | Task record deleted; no longer queryable      | —                   |
| `failed`    | Yes         | Same as above                                 | —                   |
| `cancelled` | **No**      | Rejected                                      | —                   |
