test runner

What steps will reproduce the bug?

Running this with node --test leads to the error "test could not be started because its parent finished"

import { describe, it } from "node:test";

describe("describe", async () => {
  await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 10));

  it("it inside describe", async () => {});
});

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

It's deterministic.

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

describe's documentation indicates that an async function can be passed, so it should be awaited.

What do you see instead?

I get the error test could not be started because its parent finished.
