            Bug ID: 247863
           Summary: PerformanceObserver does not queue a task on observe
                    call
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari Technology Preview
          Hardware: Mac (Intel)
                OS: macOS 12
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: philip at philipwalton.com

Steps to reproduce:

1. Navigate to https://example.com in Safari and wait for content to appear on the screen
2. Open the Web Inspector and paste the following code into the JavaScript console:

```
const po = new PerformanceObserver(() => {
  console.log('PO handler scope');
});

po.observe({type: 'paint', buffered: true});
console.log('Top-level scope');
```

3. Notice the order in which the log statements are printed.

In Safari the order is:

```
PO handler scope
Top-level scope
```

But in Chrome and Firefox the order is reversed:

```
Top-level scope
PO handler scope
```

Based on my reading of the observe processing model in the spec [1] both Chrome and Firefox are correct. The last line in the processing model "5.2 observe() method" reads "Queue the PerformanceObserver task with relevantGlobal as input.", which should defer execution of the observer callback until after the current call stack finishes.
