📄 Description

This MR introduces headers as first-class metadata on Task.
Headers allow attaching cross-cutting metadata (e.g., trace IDs, tenant IDs, feature flags) without mixing them into the business payload.

Motivation
• Resolves Issue #393 (support for headers/metadata).
• There was an earlier attempt in PR #838, but it became stale and was never merged. This MR picks up the idea, updates it for the current codebase, and ensures backward compatibility.

✅ This MR supersedes #838 and #606 and closes #393.
