Do ThreadLocal Values Fail in Asynchronous Scenarios? An Interviewer's Trick Question Explained

This article explains why ThreadLocal values are not automatically transferred in asynchronous or thread‑pool contexts, compares JDK's InheritableThreadLocal with Alibaba's TransmittableThreadLocal (TTL), and shows how TTL captures, replays, and restores context safely with code examples and diagrams.
