I would like you to help me migrate my v3 task code to v4. Here are the important differences:

We've deprecated the `@trigger.dev/sdk/v3` import path and moved to a new path:

// This is the old path
import { task } from "@trigger.dev/sdk/v3";

// This is the new path, use this instead
import { task } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";

We've renamed the `handleError` hook to `catchError`. Use this instead of `handleError`.

`init` was previously used to initialize data used in the run function. This is the old version:

import { task } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";

const myTask = task({
  init: async () => {
    return {
      myClient: new MyClient(),
    };
  },
  run: async (payload: any, { ctx, init }) => {
    const client = init.myClient;
    await client.doSomething();
  },
});

This is the new version using middleware and locals:

import { task, locals, tasks } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";

// Create a local for your client
const MyClientLocal = locals.create<MyClient>("myClient");

// Set up middleware to initialize the client
tasks.middleware("my-client", async ({ next }) => {
  const client = new MyClient();
  locals.set(MyClientLocal, client);
  await next();
});

// Helper function to get the client
function getMyClient() {
  return locals.getOrThrow(MyClientLocal);
}

const myTask = task({
  run: async (payload: any, { ctx }) => {
    const client = getMyClient();
    await client.doSomething();
  },
});

We’ve deprecated the `toolTask` function and replaced it with the `ai.tool` function, which creates an AI tool from an existing `schemaTask`. This is the old version:

import { toolTask, schemaTask } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
import { z } from "zod";
import { generateText } from "ai";

const myToolTask = toolTask({
  id: "my-tool-task",
  run: async (payload: any, { ctx }) => {},
});

export const myAiTask = schemaTask({
  id: "my-ai-task",
  schema: z.object({
    text: z.string(),
  }),
  run: async (payload, { ctx }) => {
    const { text } = await generateText({
      prompt: payload.text,
      model: openai("gpt-4o"),
      tools: {
        myToolTask,
      },
    });
  },
});

This is the new version:

import { schemaTask, ai } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
import { z } from "zod";
import { generateText } from "ai";

// Convert toolTask to schemaTask with a schema
const myToolTask = schemaTask({
  id: "my-tool-task",
  schema: z.object({
    // Add appropriate schema for your tool's payload
    input: z.string(),
  }),
  run: async (payload, { ctx }) => {},
});

// Create an AI tool from the schemaTask
const myTool = ai.tool(myToolTask);

export const myAiTask = schemaTask({
  id: "my-ai-task",
  schema: z.object({
    text: z.string(),
  }),
  run: async (payload, { ctx }) => {
    const { text } = await generateText({
      prompt: payload.text,
      model: openai("gpt-4o"),
      tools: {
        myTool, // Use the ai.tool created from schemaTask
      },
    });
  },
});

We've made several breaking changes that require code updates:

**Queue changes**: Queues must now be defined ahead of time using the `queue` function. You can no longer create queues "on-demand" when triggering tasks. This is the old version:


// Old v3 way - creating queue on-demand
await myTask.trigger({ foo: "bar" }, { queue: { name: "my-queue", concurrencyLimit: 10 } });


This is the new version:


// New v4 way - define queue first
import { queue, task } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";

const myQueue = queue({
  name: "my-queue",
  concurrencyLimit: 10,
});

export const myTask = task({
  id: "my-task",
  queue: myQueue, // Set queue on task
  run: async (payload: any, { ctx }) => {},
});

// Now trigger without queue options
await myTask.trigger({ foo: "bar" });

// Or specify queue by name
await myTask.trigger({ foo: "bar" }, { queue: "my-queue" });


**Lifecycle hooks**: Function signatures have changed to use a single object parameter instead of separate parameters. This is the old version:


// Old v3 way
export const myTask = task({
  id: "my-task",
  onStart: (payload, { ctx }) => {},
  onSuccess: (payload, output, { ctx }) => {},
  onFailure: (payload, error, { ctx }) => {},
  catchError: (payload, { ctx, error, retry }) => {},
  run: async (payload, { ctx }) => {},
});


This is the new version:


// New v4 way - single object parameter for hooks
export const myTask = task({
  id: "my-task",
  onStart: ({ payload, ctx }) => {},
  onSuccess: ({ payload, output, ctx }) => {},
  onFailure: ({ payload, error, ctx }) => {},
  catchError: ({ payload, ctx, error, retry }) => {},
  run: async (payload, { ctx }) => {}, // run function unchanged
});


**BatchTrigger changes**: The `batchTrigger` function no longer returns runs directly. This is the old version:


// Old v3 way
const batchHandle = await tasks.batchTrigger([
  [myTask, { foo: "bar" }],
  [myOtherTask, { baz: "qux" }],
]);

console.log(batchHandle.runs); // Direct access


This is the new version:


// New v4 way
const batchHandle = await tasks.batchTrigger([
  [myTask, { foo: "bar" }],
  [myOtherTask, { baz: "qux" }],
]);

const runs = await batchHandle.runs.list(); // Use runs.list()
console.log(runs);


Can you help me convert the following code from v3 to v4? Please include the full converted code in the answer, do not truncate it anywhere.
