Is there a way to use supervisorScope and pass it a parent supervisorJob? From the docs it says I can, but I don't see how I can pass it down

I haven’t used supervisorScope, but i would expect it would follow the pattern of coroutineScope in which case the child context’s job will be a child of the parent context’s job.

yea, if you want a separate parent (breaking structured concurrency), use CoroutineScope(SupervisorJob()), otherwise, it will create a child Job of the suspend context that you call it with

[bdawg.io]

supervisorScope { } as a context function uses the current context to get the parent job always. Otherwise, you can use the CoroutineScope factory function passing the desired or new SupervisorJob (ie, CoroutineScope(SupervisorJob()))
