            - URL length max 2048 characters


            **Callback Mechanism:**

            - Timeout: 10 seconds

            - Max 3 retries on failure (at 1s/2s/4s intervals)

            - Response format matches task query API

            - 2xx status code = success, other codes trigger retry
