Spawned early doesn't mean first-polled early. First-polled early doesn't mean completed early.

If there is an application-level unit of fairness you expect Tokio to honor, like the event in our case, the runtime doesn't know it exists. The bounds should be added by the application.

rustc uses the Path hash code to identify files, and the Path hash implementation is particularly weak because it ignores separators. As of PR #127297, it tries to compensate by mixing the component lengths into the hash, but it's still easy to manufacture collisions. That includes collisions where both sides look like plausible source paths, not gibberish, e.g. data/baselines/table.rs will conflict with database/line/stable.rs.

When the hash codes of two paths collide, rustc substitutes the first file's contents when compiling the second one.
