> However, it seems that `Task.async` makes the task a child of the current process’s supervision tree. I worry that once I redirect, my first LiveView process is killed, which would stop the async work as well.

The way to avoid that is to use a `Task.Supervisor` to start the task instead. You’d add one to your application’s supervisor tree and then use [`Task.Supervisor.start_child`](https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Task.Supervisor.html#start_child/3) to launch tasks into it.
