The key output order is A -> D -> C -> B. Promise callbacks use the microtask queue, which is drained before timer tasks.
Console output or cleanup runs in an order that does not match the source code order. Promise-based state updates can happen before scheduled timers and animation cleanup.
Treating all async callbacks as the same queue.
Make ordering explicit instead of relying on when a queued callback might happen to run.
Promise.resolve().then(handleMicrotask); setTimeout(handleTimer, 0); // Assert/expect the microtask before the timer.
The console lane proves the visible order: A -> D -> C -> B. The active line and queues show why source order changed.
Add temporary logs around the sync line, promise callback, and timer, then confirm the order without adding arbitrary delays.
