Hi, I’m working with GenieACS and I have a question regarding how tasks are handled. When I create a task using the endpoint: `POST /devices//tasks` An entry is created in the `tasks` collection in MongoDB. My questions are: - Is this task considered “pending” until the device executes it? - Once the device executes the task, is the entry automatically removed from the `tasks` collection, or does it remain stored there? Thanks in advance for your help! ---
