Structured Coroutines
A comprehensive toolkit for enforcing structured concurrency in Kotlin Coroutines, inspired by Swift Concurrency. It provides multiple layers of protection through compile-time checks and static analysis.

🎯 Purpose
Kotlin Coroutines are powerful but can be misused, leading to:
- Resource leaks from orphaned coroutines
- Uncontrolled lifecycle with
GlobalScope - Difficult debugging due to scattered coroutine launches
- Deadlocks from
runBlockingin suspend functions - Broken cancellation from swallowed
CancellationException - Thread starvation from blocking calls in coroutines
This toolkit enforces structured concurrency best practices through:
- Compiler Plugin - Errors at compile time (K2/FIR)
- Detekt Rules - Static analysis warnings
- Android Lint Rules - Android-specific static analysis with quick fixes
