 ### Overriding on_task_request
 
 Alternatively, you can override `on_task_request()` directly without the `@task` decorator:

-  `send_task_response()`, `send_task_update()`, and `send_task_stream_*()` all require an explicit `task_id`. This lets a worker handle multiple concurrent tasks -- typically with `@task(parallel=True)` -- and respond to each one correctly. For simple handlers, pass `message.task_id` from the request. For asynchronous responses (see the example below), track the `task_id` yourself until you're ready to respond.
