+/**
+ * Deferred handle values — "decide synchronously, resolve late".
+ *
+ * A handle is pushed from code that holds `ctx` (a route/layout handler), so the
+ * decision to push lands before the handles stream seals. But the value often
+ * isn't known there — it may come from a deep async component far from the
+ * handler. `ctx.use(Handle).defer()` reserves the handle's slot now (synchronous,
+ * so ordering and the pre-seal timing hold) and returns a resolver with the SAME
+ * signature as the push: you call it later, anywhere in the render, with the same
+ * value you would have passed to the push.
+ *
+ *   const breadcrumb = ctx.use(Breadcrumbs);   // (item) => void  &  .defer()
+ *   const resolve = breadcrumb.defer({ timeoutMs: 5000, else: null });
+ *   // deep async component, far from ctx:
+ *   resolve({ label, href, content });          // identical call, just deferred
+ *
+ * Under the hood the reserved slot is a Promise the renderer `use()`s; RSC Flight
+ * streams it as a late row, so a deferred-aware consumer reading the handle
+ * (`useHandle`) sees that entry as a `Promise` until it resolves (see
+ * {@link DeferredHandleEntry}). The hazard that guards against bugs: a deferred
+ * slot whose resolver is never called would keep the Flight stream — and the HTTP
+ * response — open forever. So a deferred auto-resolves to `else` after `timeoutMs`
+ * (default {@link DEFAULT_DEFER_TIMEOUT_MS}) if the resolver is never called,
+ * degrading gracefully (and warning in dev) instead of hanging the request.
