Description

Summary

Track the migration of the codebase to Swift 6, including language mode adoption, concurrency updates, dependency compatibility, and CI adjustments.

Swift 6 introduces stricter concurrency checking, enhanced Sendable enforcement, and changes that may surface previously ignored warnings as errors. This issue covers the required work to ensure full compatibility and a clean build under Swift 6 language mode.

Motivation

  • Align with the latest Swift language evolution
  • Maintain compatibility with the current Apple toolchain
  • Improve concurrency safety with stricter compile-time checks
  • Reduce technical debt by addressing warnings that will become errors

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the Swift 6 migration guide and identify code areas that need concurrency annotations. Check third party dependency compatibility and update CI configuration.
