+<p>
+The template parameter <code>V</code> of
+<code>task::promise_type::return_value</code> doesn't have a default
+template argument specified. Specifying a default template argument of <code>T</code>
+would enable use of <code>co_return { ... }</code> which would be
+consistent with normal <code>return</code> statements. This feature
+was not discussed in the design paper but based on the LEWG discussion
+on 2025-08-26 it is considered to be more a bug fix than a new feature.

+<p>
+Add a default template argument of <code>T</code> to the template
+parameter <code>V</code> of <code>task::promise_type::return_value</code>
+in the synopsis of <sref ref="[task.promise]"/>:
+<blockquote><pre>
+namespace std::execution {
+  template&lt;class T, class Environment&gt;
+  class task&lt;T, Environment&gt;::promise_type {
+     ...
+    template&lt;typename V <ins>= T</ins>&gt;
+    void return_value(V&amp;&amp; value);
+    ...
+  };
+
+}
+</pre></blockquote>
