Research direction

Start by locating the Google Pub/Sub message handler and the code path that acknowledges messages. Determine how an option could acknowledge immediately while preserving the current behavior by default; done means the option is available for handlers whose work should not be retried after failure.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It should be possible to immediately ack a pubsub message, without waiting for the handler to succeed or fail.

Useful for tasks that makes no sense to retry even if they fail. No point in waiting for a potentially slow task to finish before acking.
