This strategy ensures the "serializability" condition of parallel programs--not to be confused with the data being java.io.Serializable. Indeed, if thread A is evaluating the lazy val while thread B attempts to serialize its owner object, there is also an alternative schedule where thread B serializes the owner object before A starts evaluating the lazy val. Therefore, forcing B to see the non-evaluating state is correct.

@Gedochao I'm not sure who to ask for review here. All the previous contributors to Scala 3's lazy vals have moved on from the team.

Perhaps @lrytz ?

Hum, no reason. I had blindly copy-pasted the reproduction from the issue. I removed it and added a few ends instead.

programs--not to be confused with the data being `java.io.Serializable`.
Indeed, if thread A is evaluating the lazy val while thread B attempts
to serialize its owner object, there is also an alternative schedule
where thread B serializes the owner object *before* A starts evaluating
the lazy val. Therefore, forcing B to see the non-evaluating state is
correct.
