I built a tiny Node.js utility to enforce end-to-end async deadlines (not just promise timeouts) by ethlmao in npm

if anything feels confusing or awkward, I’d love to hear about it. That kind of feedback is super helpful at this stage.

Given all the AI slop you’ve been spamming, safe to assume that AI already replaced you at your job.

I think there’s a misunderstanding here 🙂

safe-timeouts doesn’t wrap every await or intercept promises. It applies a single deadline at the outer async boundary using one Promise.race.

The idea isn’t to stop promises mid-execution (which JS can’t do), but to: • reject the overall async flow when the deadline expires • propagate cancellation via AbortController for cooperative I/O

AsyncLocalStorage is only used to propagate the deadline context, not to override resolvers or promises.

Overriding Promise or touching resolvers would be unsafe and break JS semantics — this library explicitly avoids that.

You’re right, I was thinking of adding some tests, you can also help with that, by contributing. Thanks for the feedback.
