Description

Describe the bug

When enabling async Svelte, and you're awaiting promises inside your pages, the navigation will break if you click on multiple links really fast. Faster than your promises resolve.
Svelte will basically just break, and also the page.url will be wrong.
I also think $effect.pending() or navigation.to will get stuck forever.

Reproduction

Just click on multiple links really fast.

Research direction

Start with the linked StackBlitz reproduction and reproduce rapid navigation between pages that await promises with async Svelte enabled. Trace the navigation state, page.url, $effect.pending(), and navigation.to while links are clicked quickly; done means navigation completes without breaking and these values remain correct.
