• Pluggable Executor Interface — Swap execution backends without changing queue logic
• Concurrent Worker Pool — Configurable concurrency with controlled goroutine lifecycles
• Lifecycle Event System — Hooks for task start, success, failure, and retry events
• Retry Logic — Configurable retry strategies with exponential backoff
• Dead-letter Queue — Failed tasks routed to DLQ for inspection and reprocessing
