Swift 6 introduced many new features and keywords for concurrency. While many of these might be rarely used in daily development, encountering specific scenarios without understanding these new concepts can lead to hitting a wall, even with AI assistance. In this post, I will walk through a concurrency issue encountered during development testing to introduce how to utilize **`@isolated(any)`** and the **`#isolation`** macro. These tools enable function isolation inheritance, allowing the compiler to automatically infer the execution context of closures.
