Conversation
The Go engine delivers state events on its own threads. The home screen answered onPeersListChanged by calling getNetworks() right there, which crosses back into Go from the callback thread, and SessionMonitor polled status() and sessionExpiresAt() on the main thread on every state change. Under a peer storm both queue up on the engine's status lock; an ANR report showed the main thread stuck behind 283 such callback threads. Add CoalescingWorker, a single background thread that collapses bursts of refresh requests into one run, and route the engine reads through it: the exit node row and the session deadline seed on the home screen, the networks list, the session monitor, and the exit node picker. Callbacks only signal; results are posted back to the main thread. Debug builds now log a stack trace when networks(), peersInfo() or sessionExpiresAt() is called on the main thread.

Invalidate worker results when the view is destroyed.
exitNodesLoader shuts down only in onDestroy(). loadExitNodes() reads binding.getRoot() after getNetworks() completes. If the task starts for an old view and completes after recreation, it can read the new root and post the old snapshot to the new binding. showExitNodes() then accepts it because the new binding and adapter are non-null. A root check captured after the fetch does not prevent this case; capture the generation before the fetch.

- NetworksFragmentViewModel: a load that started before a disconnect could publish its snapshot after clearResources() emptied the list. Guard the publish with a generation counter that clearResources() bumps. - SessionMonitor: the worker thread was never stopped. Add shutdown() and call it from VPNService.onDestroy(). - SessionMonitor: the replay after addListener() could deliver a deadline or expiry callback twice when the refresh in the same action already sent it, and could notify a listener removed before the main thread ran. Replay only what the refresh did not dispatch, and skip listeners no longer registered.

…orker - SessionMonitor.shutdown() now sets a closing flag and drops the listeners; refresh() and every posted callback exit once closed, so a destroyed service no longer receives session events. CoalescingWorker drops queued runs on shutdown instead of draining them. - addListener() registers the listener on the worker after the refresh queued ahead of it, and refresh() dispatches to a snapshot of the listeners taken at that moment. A change dispatched by an earlier refresh can no longer reach the new listener before its replay, so the replay delivers the current state exactly once. removeListener() goes through the worker too, keeping add and remove ordered.

The worker checked binding for null and then dereferenced the field again; onDestroyView can null it in between and the resulting NPE on a background thread kills the process. Copy the field to a local first.

When the session expires, the engine emits two Disconnected states a few milliseconds before onLoginRequired flips the flag; the queued paints then ran after the direct "Login required" paint and overwrote it, leaving the home screen on "Disconnected" until the next rebind.

Problem
The Go engine calls the app back on its own threads, for example
onPeersListChangedon every peer state change. The app answered some ofthese callbacks by calling straight back into Go on the same thread:
HomeFragment.onPeersListChangedcalledgetNetworks()on the callbackthread.
NetworksFragmentViewModeldid the same forgetNetworks()andgetPeersList().SessionMonitorpolledstatus()andsessionExpiresAt()on the mainthread on every state change.
HomeFragment.onResumeandExitNodePickerSheetread from Go on the mainthread.
Each Go call takes the engine's status lock. When many peers change state at
once, hundreds of callback threads wait on that lock, and the main thread
waits behind them. An ANR report showed 283 threads stuck in
networks()and the UI thread stuck in
sessionExpiresAtUnix().Change
CoalescingWorker: one background thread that runs a refresh task.Requests that arrive while a run is queued collapse into it, so a burst of
100 callbacks becomes one or two runs.
call runs on the worker thread and the result is posted to the main thread.
SessionMonitorkeeps its edge detection, but does the Go calls on theworker and posts listener callbacks to the main thread as before.
background read cannot overwrite a newer deadline that arrived in the
meantime (an extend finishing right at
onResume).networks(),peersInfo()orsessionExpiresAt()is called on the main thread, so new cases show upearly.
