Learn how to diagnose and fix 'Object deleted while still in use' crashes in Qt by managing the QObject parent-child hierarchy and using QPointer and deleteLater().
QObject cross-thread timer failure: queued versus direct signal delivery under concurrent workers

Cross-thread signals follow a related rule: with Qt::AutoConnection , delivery becomes queued, so the slot runs later in the receiver thread's
