/// BasicTask is the bare minimum for a task object. It provides only:
/// - Atomic state tracking (created, waiting, running, succeeded, failed)
/// - A run() method to implement task logic
/// - A runCancelled() callback for cleanup when cancelled
/// - Cancel and reset functionality
///
/// BasicTask does not support:
/// - Task names or timing information (see Task)
/// - Dependencies or scheduling (see ComplexTask)
/// - Completion callbacks (see Task)
///
/// Derive from BasicTask when you need the absolute minimum overhead for simple
/// tasks that just need to run on a worker thread with no dependencies.
