From 54a8d8bb685c18fdd5dfa26ee311bb16a0eec400 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreu Botella Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2026 13:53:51 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] AsyncContext proposal integration This PR updates HTML to integrate with the TC39 AsyncContext proposal, which allows storing state associated with an async flow of execution in JavaScript, and preserving it across different kinds of async continuations in both JS and the web platform. This PR does not yet handle events, since the exact behavior of those with AsyncContext is still pending to be fully decided. But it covers microtasks, timers, deferred script execution, focus/blur and others. This patch does not include any changes to the `error` and `unhandledrejection` event handling, as well as to `HostEnqueueFinalizationRegistryCleanupJob`. This relies on the assumption that the changes in tc39/proposal-async-context#148 and tc39/proposal-async-context#150 will be accepted. Otherwise, error contexts will need to be handled in HTML. This patch relies on PR [TODO] to define the `[PropagatesAsyncContext]` extended attribute in WebIDL. --- source | 537 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------- 1 file changed, 333 insertions(+), 204 deletions(-) diff --git a/source b/source index 01a93e619a2..ad8c1b70682 100644 --- a/source +++ b/source @@ -2942,6 +2942,7 @@ a.setAttribute('href', 'https://example.com/'); // change the content attribute

    Interactions with AsyncContext

    +

    To run an + algorithm steps with an Async Context Mapping mapping: + JSASYNCCONTEXT

    + +
      +

    1. Let previousMapping be + AsyncContextSwap(mapping).

      2. + +

      Let returnValue be the result of running steps. If this throws an + exception e, then:

        2. + +

      2. Throw e.

    3. Perform AsyncContextSwap(previousMapping).

      4. + +

    4. Return returnValue.

      5. +

    Specifications should not use the AsyncContextSwap abstract operation defined in + JSASYNCCONTEXT, or otherwise set or mutate an agent record's [[AsyncContextMapping]] + field. Instead they should run an algorithm with + an Async Context Mapping, which properly cleans up after itself.
