> The recent patch #23866 makes calling `ClassValue::remove()` from `ClassValue::computeValue()` end up in infinite loops while fixing the stale value risk from the method.
>
> The proposed fix is to preserve the stale value risk fix, and update the remove-from-compute behavior from the original designated no-op behavior to throwing an exception, as the original behavior conflicts with the stale value fix.
>
> The implementation track the owner thread in promises (accessed in locked section); as a result, we can fail-fast on recursive removals from `computeValue`. I did not choose to use `ThreadTracker` as it is designed for single tracker and multiple threads, while this case here sees often just one thread, and the threads outlive the promise objects.
>
> Also updated the API specs for `remove` to more concisely describe the memory effects. Please review the associated CSR as well.
