Overview

Review and fix Swift Concurrency issues in Swift 6.2+ codebases by applying actor isolation, Sendable safety, and modern concurrency patterns with minimal behavior changes.

Workflow

1. Triage the issue

• Capture the exact compiler diagnostics and the offending symbol(s).
• Identify the current actor context (@MainActor, actor, nonisolated) and whether a default actor isolation mode is enabled.
• Confirm whether the code is UI-bound or intended to run off the main actor.

2. Apply the smallest safe fix

Prefer edits that preserve existing behavior while satisfying data-race safety.

Common fixes:

• UI-bound types: annotate the type or relevant members with @MainActor.
• Protocol conformance on main actor types: make the conformance isolated (e.g., extension Foo: @MainActor SomeProtocol).
• Global/static state: protect with @MainActor or move into an actor.
• Background work: move expensive work into a @concurrent async function on a nonisolated type or use an actor to guard mutable state.
• Sendable errors: prefer immutable/value types; add Sendable conformance only when correct; avoid @unchecked Sendable unless you can prove thread safety.
