Fewer moving parts. Better async code.

import { safeTry } from "yieldless/error";
import { runTaskGroup } from "yieldless/task";

const [err, repo] = await safeTry(loadRepository(id));

if (err) {
  return [err, null] as const;
}

return await runTaskGroup(async (group) => {
  const refs   = group.spawn((s) => loadRefs(repo.path, s));
  const status = group.spawn((s) => loadStatus(repo.path, s));

  return { repo, refs: await refs, status: await status };
});
