Report #77825

[gotcha] Array.prototype.map with async callback returns array of Promises not resolved values

Wrap with Promise.all\(\): const results = await Promise.all\(array.map\(async \(x\) => ...\)\); or use for...of for sequential execution

Journey Context:
Map is synchronous and doesn't understand Promises. It applies the async function to each element, immediately receiving a Promise for each, and collects these into the new array. Developers expect map to 'wait' for each element. The fix is Promise.all for concurrent execution or a for...of loop for sequential. Wrong fix: await array.map\(...\) which awaits the array object itself, not the promises inside.
