Thanks Francis! Looks like an improvement, though I have not yet used this API so I had a question, but LGTM overall.

I saw this article earlier today https://rednafi.com/go/context-cancellation-cause/, I figured I should point AI at our codebase to see where we could wire up causes. Most of the context cancellations we deal with are from Go stdlib though (deep in
net/httpand such) which we have no control over, but hopefully over time those will get cleaned up.Assistance Disclosure
