invalid patch: {e}

Error message

invalid patch: {e}

What it means

The `patch` argument passed to the task-source update tool failed serde deserialization into `TaskSourcePatch`. The schema advertises a partial object with camelCase fields, so this fires when the caller sends snake_case keys, wrong value types (e.g. a string where a boolean or number is expected), or unknown/non-patch fields — the deserializer, not a domain check, rejects it.

Solutions

1. Send the patch object with camelCase field names exactly as declared in the tool's parameters schema
2. Check each field's declared type (boolean/string/number) and match it
3. Remove keys that are not part of TaskSourcePatch or that the partial schema does not accept
4. Log the serde error text `{e}` — it names the offending field and expected type
