[Feature Request] Return a Task from Track and Untrack methods

[lourd]

Feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I would like my client to update a field in my database after joining a presence channel using the Track method.

I accidentally created a race condition bug between my client application and part of my back-end where the back-end service saw that a database field was updated and it reacted, getting the current presence state for the channel, seeing it was empty, and then doing cleanup.

I want my client to deterministically wait until the Track message has been successfully received by Supabase.

Describe the solution you'd like

The Track (and Untrack) methods should return a Task that can be awaited.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I tried adding my own application logic to wait for a presence sync where I saw my own user, but the presence sync event is triggered from the library locally when calling Track, so that's not the same as confirming the server received it.

Additional context

The Supabase realtime-js library has Track and Untrack methods that return a Promise.
