Always explicitly await all asynchronous operations, especially in cleanup code paths and resource management. Failing to properly await promises can lead to race conditions, resource leaks, and unpredictable behavior in concurrent environments.

When writing concurrent code:
// Good: Ensures the resource is fully closed before continuing if (options.autoClose) await this.close();
2. Use modern Promise patterns for cleaner async code:
```javascript
// Better: Use Promise.withResolvers() for cleaner promise creation
const { promise, resolve, reject } = Promise.withResolvers();
fs.stat(filePath, { signal }, (err, stats) => {
if (err) {
return reject(err);
}
resolve(stats);
});
await assert.rejects(promise, { name: 'AbortError' });
// Ensure AsyncLocalStorage context is preserved in callbacks
const als = new AsyncLocalStorage();
als.run(123, () => {
navigator.locks.request('lock-name', async (lock) => {
// Context should be maintained across the async boundary
assert.strictEqual(als.getStore(), 123);
});
});
By properly awaiting promises and managing async context, you’ll write more reliable concurrent code with fewer race conditions and resource leaks.
