Summary
AsyncImageDecodingfor decoders that need to call asynchronous APIsImageDecodingimplementations source-compatibleMotivation
ImageDecodingcurrently exposes only a synchronous entry point, so implementations backed by async APIs have to block a thread with a semaphore. This adds a dedicated async refinement that the pipeline can detect and await without changing existing decoders.Closes #860.
Testing
swift build(all package targets)ImagePipelineDecodingTests: 5 passedImagePipelineTestsandImagePipelineProgressiveDecodingTests: 35 passedThe macOS test runs used Thread Sanitizer disabled because the local Xcode 26.3 test runner could not load its TSan runtime; the shared scheme remains unchanged.
