Worked on the microsoft/libHttpClient repository to enhance the reliability of asynchronous test workflows and address a critical deadlock issue in HTTP request cancellation. Leveraged C++ and PowerShell to implement a lock-free opcode logging buffer, explicit completion signaling, and queue-drain-before-verification, which collectively reduced timing-related test flakiness and improved CI stability. Refined concurrency management by snapshotting active requests under lock and migrating to xbox:hc:Vector for proper allocation, resolving a re-entrant lock deadlock. Focused on debugging and unit testing, these changes stabilized all AsyncBlockTests in soak-like runs, improving test automation reliability without altering production code.
