+Here is the full list of output in the `task` object returned by
+`pop()`.
+
+- `name`: the task name if given.
+- `command`: a character string with the R command if `save_command` was
+  set to `TRUE` in `push()`.
+- `result`: a list containing the return value of the R command.
+- `seconds`: number of seconds that the task ran.
+- `seed`: the single integer originally supplied to `push()`, `NA` if
+  `seed` was supplied as `NULL`.
+- `algorithm`: name of the pseudo-random number generator algorithm
+  originally supplied to `push()`, `NA` if `algorithm` was supplied as
+  `NULL`.
+- `error`: the first 2048 characters of the error message if the task
+  threw an error, `NA` otherwise.
+- `trace`: the first 2048 characters of the text of the traceback if the
+  task threw an error, `NA` otherwise.
+- `warnings`: the first 2048 characters. of the text of warning messages
+  that the task may have generated, `NA` otherwise.
+- `launcher`: name of the `crew` launcher where the task ran.
+
+If `seed` and `algorithm` are both non-missing in the output, then you
+can recover the pseudo-random number generator state of the task using
+`set.seed(seed = seed, kind = algorithm)`. However, it is recommended to
+supply `NULL` to these arguments in `push()`, in which case you will
+observe `NA` in the outputs. With `seed` and `algorithm` both `NULL`,
+the random number generator defaults to the recommended widely spaced
+worker-specific L’Ecuyer streams supported by `mirai::nextstream()`. See
+`vignette("parallel", package = "parallel")` for details.
