Description

I've seen a bunch of code go in with esid: pending when it's for a feature that hasn't landed yet, and I'm copying this in my PRs for other specs. Is this what we should be doing, or should we expect that the ids on pending specs are stable and just reference them?

Research direction

Review the existing Stage 3 feature tests and their esid metadata, then compare how pending specs reference feature identifiers. Determine whether pending IDs should remain stable or use esid: pending, and document the agreed convention; the issue is complete when the project’s expected practice is explicit.
