+# App history ordering tests
+
+These are meant to test the ordering between various events and promises; they
+don't fit into any particular sibling directory.
+
+Some of them test simple cases rather-exhaustively, and others test tricky cases
+(e.g. reentrancy or navigations aborting previous navigations) in a more focused
+way.
+
+Note:
+
+* Variants specifically exist for `currentchange` because an event listener
+  existing for `currentchange` causes code to run, and thus microtasks to run,
+  at a very specific point in the navigation-commit lifecycle. We want to test
+  that it doesn't impact the ordering.
+* Similarly we test that `transitionWhile(Promise.resolve())` does not change
+  the ordering compared to no `transitionWhile()` call, for same-document
+  navigations.
+
+TODOs:
+
+* Also test `appHistory.transition.finished` when it is implemented.
+* Also test `popstate` and `hashchange` once
+  </~https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/1792> is fixed.
