Library async methods should use ConfigureAwait(false) so they do not resume on the caller's UI or request context, avoiding deadlocks and unnecessary thread switches.

csharpDiagnosing and Fixing C# Async/Await Deadlocks on UI and ASP.NET Threads
When a C# app freezes after calling .Result or .Wait on an async method, a deadlock is likely. This guide walks through diagnosing the blocking call, checking the SynchronizationContext, and applying fixes such as ConfigureAwait(false) or refactoring to async all the way.
ConfigureAwait(false) behavior in diverse SynchronizationContexts
Synchronization Context Capture \n In C# asynchronous programming, the await operator captures the current SynchronizationContext by default to ensure the continuation runs on the original thread. This is essential for updating UI elements in frameworks like WPF or WinForms. \n To optimize performance and avoid potential deadlocks in library code, ConfigureA
