Research direction
Start by reading the TaskScheduler.Default and JTF.Run entry points named in the issue, focusing on how they interact when execution is already on a thread-pool thread. Determine the intended behavior for awaiting TaskScheduler.Default and define the conditions under which it should reuse a JTF.Run thread without worsening thread-pool starvation.
