Avalonia Threading and Dispatcher
Start with:
../../references/03-reactive-threading.md../../references/47-dispatcher-priority-operations-and-timers.md
Load these when quality hardening matters:
../../references/08-performance-checklist.md../../references/27-diagnostics-profiling-and-devtools.md
Workflow
- Identify which state is allowed off-thread and which UI mutations must stay on the UI thread.
- Pick the right dispatch primitive: immediate post, prioritized operation, or timer.
- Keep reactive or async chains explicit about scheduler and dispatch boundaries.
- Verify cancellation, teardown, and shutdown behavior for long-lived subscriptions or timers.
Rules
- Never hide UI-thread assumptions in helper layers.
- Prefer explicit dispatcher boundaries over accidental thread capture.
- Use timers and background loops sparingly and always with disposal or cancellation.
