# Await in Loop
# Detects sequential await calls inside loops (performance anti-pattern)
id: await-in-loop
name: Await in Loop
severity: warning
category: performance
defect_class: injection
inline_tier: blocking
language: typescript

message: "Await in loop — sequential execution is slow, use Promise.all()"

description: |
  Using await inside a loop forces sequential execution, making it O(n) time.
  With Promise.all(), operations run in parallel, making it O(1) time.
  
  ✅ FIX: Use Promise.all() for parallel execution
  
  ⚠️ EXCEPTION: If order matters or you need to throttle requests, sequential 
  may be intentional. In that case, add a comment explaining why.

  good: |
    // Fast: parallel execution
    await Promise.all(
      ids.map(id => fetchUser(id))  // All at once!
