STATUS_THREAD_ALREADY_IN_TASK

The thread is already associated with a task

Windows returns STATUS_THREAD_ALREADY_IN_TASK while handling job, task, callback, or isolation state. A join operation was repeated or attempted against a second task while the thread still belongs to the first. Nested membership is not implied by thread reuse.

Track join/leave balance, thread-pool reuse and exception paths that skip cleanup. Do not force-clear internal task state.

A second association usually indicates unbalanced task membership or thread reuse. Record both the existing task and the requested task so the missing leave operation or stale association can be located.
