The docs say this, but I don't quite understand the implications of the difference between "during the life cycle of the request" and "after the response is finished". The whole point of waitUntil is to not block the response, so Vercel's explanation doesn't make sense to me.
The use case for unstable_after is to process secondary tasks without blocking the primary response. It's similar to using the platform's waitUntil() or removing await from a promise, but with the following differences: waitUntil(): accepts a promise and enqueues a task to be executed during the lifecycle of the request, whereas unstable_after accepts a callback that will be executed after the response is finished.
