@Marvin is it okay for a task to return a Cancelled() state?

In Prefect, a task can indeed transition to a

Cancelled

state. This is represented by the

Cancelled

function, which is a convenience function for creating such states. The

Cancelled

state indicates that a task was cancelled before or during its execution. However, it's worth noting that the typical workflow might not involve a task directly returning a

Cancelled

state. Instead, cancellations are usually managed by the flow or the orchestration layer, which can transition tasks to a

Cancelled

state based on certain conditions or external triggers. You can find more details about the

Cancelled

state in the Prefect source code here. If you're implementing task state management, ensure that your logic aligns with your flow's orchestration requirements.
