An interactive concept flow for async code still runs on an event loop, from its assumptions through the main operation and boundary checks.
trace / request.md
readyAn event loop repeatedly selects ready work and runs callbacks or tasks. Asynchronous I/O lets a program arrange for completion to be reported later so the thread can do other work meanwhile. The syntax may look sequential, but the runtime schedules continuations according to its queues and rules.
Use the stages in order to explain async code still runs on an event loop. Each stage makes one assumption visible: what the operation promises, what representation it uses, how state changes, which boundary can invalidate a shortcut, and what evidence confirms the result.
For a worked explanation, continue to the topic article and execution trace.
