I think that if we're going to use bitmasks to filter these, we will probably need to start the enum at 1, not 0 (otherwise, we can't differentiate between an event that we didn't register for and TASK_WAITING).

Yes, I am changing this

Maybe scheduled_task -> assigned_task?

I'm renaming it to task_instance now, which is what it really is! We are already using the assign terminology to refer to assigning tasks to workers, so it is not great in the context I think.

Can we add the state of the task to the arguments of the callback?

It is in scheduled_task

The task queue is replaced by a task log, which is an append only datastructure (a hash table from task_iids to a list of scheduling updates). It reflects a message bus api and is used for pub/sub and also to store the task log in redis to make the pub/sub reliable when clients are disconnected.
There is a new datastructure, scheduled_task which is the information that is sent around to the schedulers via pub sub and can be reconstructed from the task log.
