why does the for loop rerun after addition of an item?

when the add task button is clicked, new event handlers are assigned to all the buttons on the added event, but the for loop already finished, and the for loop is not within an event handler itself, so how are the new event handlers added? does javascript realize the for loop has no longer reached its termination condition and finish one more iteration? (if so then does it preserve the value of i?) or does it rerun the whole program? when does it check if a list item is added? is it just continuously checking?

are there any resources on a more extensive answer to this question? i tried googling but i couldn't find anything
