src: track async resources via pointers to stack-allocated handles

addaleax · web-flow · commit 3903ee8cf3da · 2025-09-04T09:35:39.000Z
This addresses an existing `TODO` to remove the need for a separate `LocalVector`. Since all relevant handles are already present on the stack, we can track their addresses instead of storing the objects in a separate container.
