Proposal Details
Go 1.24 added a standard way to get a context inside a test, however even though there is a function to get the Deadline of a test, its Context does not have this deadline set. Should it?
In some tests of mine we've been setting a timeout of 20 seconds for HTTP requests, which makes debugging challenging if you forget to temporarily remove the timeout. Having a uniform and unbotrusive way of flowing the deadline to tests would greatly help.
