Description

It has to be error- and cancelation-oblivious because these are the cases in which both degrades to race. In the happy path, where both sides succeed (or only one side errors), the behavior is deterministic and testable.

Research direction

Search for the "alley Eq" used in the IOPar tests and read the surrounding both and race cases. Add a comment explaining that the Eq must ignore errors and cancellation, while successful or one-error paths remain deterministic and testable.
