task_id is missing or invalid

Error message

task_id is missing or invalid

What it means

ValueError raised by the static _validate_task_id when the value does not fullmatch SeedanceArkVideo.TASK_ID_PATTERN. Ark content-generation task ids follow a fixed format (cgt-YYYYMMDD-... style); this guard rejects empty strings, None, ids from other providers, or ids with whitespace/extra characters before they are interpolated into query and cancel URLs.

Solutions

1. Confirm the id came from an Ark (seedance_ark) creation response, not another video provider.
2. Strip whitespace and check the id is non-empty before calling.
3. When storing ids from multiple providers, also store the provider name and dispatch on it.
4. Re-run a valid TASK_ID_PATTERN.fullmatch(value) check in your own code (mirror the pattern from the class) before invoking the tool.

Example fix

# before
result = tool.query(task_id=video_row["external_id"])  # may be a Kling id

# after
if SeedanceArkVideo.TASK_ID_PATTERN.fullmatch(str(task_id or "")):
    result = tool.query(task_id=task_id)
else:
    result = route_by_provider(video_row)

from tools.video.seedance_ark import SeedanceArkVideo
if not SeedanceArkVideo.TASK_ID_PATTERN.fullmatch(str(task_id or "")):
    raise ValueError(f"refusing to query non-Ark task id: {task_id!r}")

def is_ark_task_id(v) -> bool:
    from tools.video.seedance_ark import SeedanceArkVideo
    return bool(SeedanceArkVideo.TASK_ID_PATTERN.fullmatch(str(v or "")))

try:
    tool.query(task_id)
except ValueError as e:
    if "task_id" in str(e):
        logger.error("wrong provider routing for id %r", task_id)
    raise

When it happens

Trigger: Passing None, '', a kling task id (e.g. 'kl_...'), a sora video id, or a truncated/copied-with-newline Ark task id to a status-query or cancel operation.

Common situations: Persisting task ids in a generic 'task_id' column shared across providers and routing them to the wrong adapter; deserialization bugs producing empty strings; manual copy-paste from logs picking up trailing spaces.
