Why Array.forEach() Breaks Async Logic (Silently)

- 30.01.26 - ErcanOPAK

This bug survives code reviews way too often.

Problem
forEach does not await async callbacks.

items.forEach(async item => {
  await save(item);
});

This exits immediately. Errors may never surface.

Correct

for (const item of items) {
  await save(item);
}

Why it matters
Async flow control must be explicit, not assumed.
