// tasks -- async tasks on the UI thread (plat::task): spawned by App code, polled between
// passes; a task that ran gets the app another pass, so App::frame sees what it changed
//
//   ui.spawn(fut) -> Task<T>    fut runs on the UI thread (it need not be Send); inside it the
//                               blocking work goes to the pool (plat::task::spawn_blocking,
//                               plat::aio, netio's async calls), sleep() waits for the task
//                               clock.  App::frame polls the handle: task.take() (the result,
//                               once), is_done(), cancel(); dropping the handle cancels it
//   ui.spawner() -> Spawner     spawn from inside tasks (a clone moves into them)
//   ui.tasks_live() -> n        tasks not finished yet
//
// Where they run: run_passes polls the woken tasks after the commands of each round (a poll
// counts as a command: another round, at most the round limit; past it the next loop turn
// builds the frame).  Wake-ups from other threads (pool jobs, Progress reports, channels) come
// as E_WAKE (plat::wake) and are taken there.  The window loop waits no longer than the next
// task timer and does not wait while tasks are ready; the browser / Android host gets the same
// as its frame delay.  Headless runs put the task clock on the virtual clock (`wait` fires
// sleep()s), and the scripts' `sync` waits until no task work is in flight (blocking jobs,
// wake-ups not taken yet) -- so scripts with async work stay deterministic.
