> what does that even mean?

The topmost stack frame. That's what "stackless" generally implies: it doesn't preserve the stack itself, that doesn't mean it preserves nothing.

That's what you see with most async/await systems (as opposed to more integrated "lightweight thread" systems like Erlang or Go), yield points blow the stack (though it may be relinked for debugging purposes), but they don't break local variables.
