Description
Hello!
Recently, I have started using ServiceWorker in our project. In this project, we basically like to keep track of one particular client. So, we would like to keep track of all the request/response coming from this particular client in ServiceWorker Fetch function. We managed to get the initial client ID. But now whenever there is a navigation, clientID is null. I found out about replacesClientId variable but it is not being supported by any browser. Is there any alternate way to get the replacesClientId from FetchEvent (or any other method)? I also tried to use
await self.clients.get(event.resultingClientId)
but it does not get resolve until its execution ready-flag is not set.
Please let me know if there is any way I could keep track of a particular client.
Best regards
Arpit Jindal

Research direction
The issue concerns FetchEvent.clientId, replacesClientId, and clients.get(), including the execution-ready flag. Start by reviewing the ServiceWorker specification and the behavior described in the issue; done would require an agreed way to track the same client across navigation, or a documented conclusion that no alternate method exists.
