    BackgroundExecutor

    A context manager that runs sync tasks in the background. Uses a thread pool executor to delegate tasks to separate threads. On exit,

    • cancels any (not yet started) tasks with __cancel_on_exit__=True
    • waits for all tasks to finish
    • re-raises the first exception from tasks with __reraise_on_exit__=True
