GPUI Async

This skill covers async patterns and concurrency management in GPUI.

Overview

GPUI provides async primitives for:

• Foreground tasks: cx.spawn() for UI thread work
• Background tasks: cx.background_spawn() for CPU-intensive work
• Task management: Task<R> for cancellation and lifecycle
• Async contexts: AsyncApp and AsyncWindowContext for async operations

Foreground Tasks

All UI rendering happens on a single foreground thread.
