Research direction

Reproduce the Godbolt example and inspect stdexec/execution.hpp around let_value, __connectable, and __nothrow_connectable. Trace why the shown noexcept lambda and just() sender do not satisfy the nothrow assertion, then determine whether the behavior is intended and add or update regression coverage if a change is required.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Consider this code:

#include <stdexec/execution.hpp>
void test() {
    auto s1 = stdexec::let_value(
        stdexec::just(),
        []() noexcept {
            return stdexec::just();
        }
    );
    static_assert(stdexec::__detail::__connectable<decltype(s1), stdexec::__sync_wait::__receiver_t<decltype(s1)>>);    
    static_assert(stdexec::__nothrow_connectable<decltype(s1), stdexec::__sync_wait::__receiver_t<decltype(s1)>>);  // <                    
}

(Godbolt link: https://godbolt.org/z/hn5MG7dqe)

Compilation fails on the line marked with <, which suggests than s1 is a valid sender, but its connect CPO is declared as throwing.
This is surprising: as fas as I can see, there is no room for an exception in this code, since just() returns nothrow-connectable sender, and lambda itself is declared as non-throwing. let_value internal implementation is hard to follow (in particular, while reading [exec] I wasn't able to find what domain really is), so I can't pinpoint source of confusion any further.

Is this behavior intended?
