💡 What: Wrap synchronous file system calls (
DiskInfo.current()) and blocking process invocations (process.run(),process.waitUntilExit(),readDataToEndOfFile()) inTask.detached.🎯 Why: In
CacheoutViewModel, these operations were being executed synchronously inside anasyncfunction on the@MainActor(as it is anObservableObject). This blocks the main thread, causing UI freezes/hitches, particularly noticeable during Docker pruning which can take several seconds.📊 Impact: Keeps the UI completely responsive during the initial cache scanning phase and the potentially long-running Docker pruning process. Avoids dropping frames.
🔬 Measurement: Run a Docker prune through the Cacheout app menu while simultaneously interacting with the UI (e.g., clicking on menu items). The UI should remain smooth and responsive instead of beachballing.
