I'm curious what happens if you use await for a signal, but the signal is never received? Does this cause some kind of hangup?

For example if I have a function structured like so:

func foo():
    do something
    await signal.finished
    do something else

And the "finished" signal never comes, does the await call just hang indefinitely?

Thanks for the explanation! Your explanation led me down a rabbit hole of seeing if there's a way to cancel an await call, from what I can tell there was no clear way to do so. In my case I ended up connecting the signal to a secondary function instead of utilizing the await command, I'm not entirely sure if there's an advantage to utilizing one method over the other.
