Research direction

Start with the linked better-auth PR #11231 and reproduce the reported Enqueue sequence: Stack 1 merges, Stack 2 merges, and Stack 3 closes. Trace the stack merge handling and capture logs or a failing test that demonstrates the race; done means all intended stacks remain merged rather than closing unexpectedly.
