  * integrate with Google Cloud Tasks, particularly focusing on job timeout
  * handling and graceful shutdowns to avoid interrupting the HTTP lifecycle.
  *
- * Firstly, the 'supportsAsyncSignals', 'listenForSignals', and 'registerTimeoutHandler' methods
- * are protected and called within the queue while(true) loop. We want (and need!) to have that
- * too in order to support job timeouts. So, to make it work, we create a public method that
- * can call the private signal methods.
- *
- * Secondly, we need to override the 'kill' method because it tends to kill the server process (artisan serve, octane),
- * as well as abort the HTTP request from Cloud Tasks. This is not the desired behavior.
- * Instead, it should just fire the WorkerStopped event and return a normal status code.
+ * Firstly, normally job timeouts are handled using the pcntl extension. Since we
+ * are running in an HTTP environment, we can't use those functions. An alternative
+ * method is using set_time_limit and when PHP throws the fatal 'Maximum execution time exceeded' error,
+ * we will handle the job error like how Laravel would if the pcntl alarm had gone off.
