/// paths to the same memory exist. `UnsafeCell` opts these fields out
/// of `&mut`'s exclusivity guarantee, telling the compiler they may be
/// accessed through other paths (the TLS raw pointers).

        // terminal between the runtime's last drain and `Executor::drop`
        // start enqueues a TERMINAL task pointer in `cross_queue`

        //   - `is_terminal` returns false (QUEUED bit is set, mask
        //     `INERT_MASK` doesn't clear it).
        //   - Falls through to the rc=0 branch → `free_task(ptr)`.
        //   - Step 3's pop then derefs `cross_next` at offset 32 of
        //     the freed allocation. **UAF.**

        // there). Step 2's deferred_free drain frees + removes from
        // `all_tasks`. Step 3's all_tasks walk no longer sees it.
        //
        // Entries that arrive AFTER step 1 (off-thread holder pushes
