+- **Always log anything that would normally be swallowed.** Any place that drops `{:exit, _}` from `Task.async_stream` / `Task.Supervisor.async_stream_nolink`, ignores `{:error, _}` clauses, or otherwise discards a failure path MUST `Logger.error`/`Logger.warning` with enough context (input, key, reason) to debug from k8s logs. Silently dropping a tuple in a `flat_map`/`reduce` clause is a bug — production crashes inside an async task otherwise vanish (the path-calculator "0 / 9 HRRR points" outage was exactly this). LiveView `start_async` must have a matching `handle_async(slot, {:exit, reason}, socket)` clause that logs.
