Hi Piotr,

I'm saying the scenario where things happen in the following order:
1. advance watermark and process timers.
2. the cp arrives and interrupts the timer processing, after this the
continuation mail is in the mailbox queue.
3. `snapshotState` is called, where the async state access responses will
be drained by calling `tryYield()` [1]. —— What if the continuation mail is
triggered by `tryYield()`?

I'm suggesting skipping the continuation mail during draining of async
state access.

Best,
Zakelly
