startup_orchestration

To prevent VS Code extension webview blocking during startup, implement a dependency-aware orchestration protocol using phase-based booting and gate-driven synchronization to defer heavy data loads until after the initial UI is visible.

Phase-based booting for VS Code extension synchronization splits initialization into structural handshake, contextual hydration, and heavy data discovery stages, gating readiness to keep the webview responsive while background loading occurs.

You coordinate webview and extension components across startup phases by enforcing gate-driven synchronization via a dependency graph, ensuring structural handshake completes before heavy background data discovery begins.

Yes, dependency-aware startup orchestration works in clean workspace environments, allowing Phase 1 structural handshake to complete promptly while Phase 3 loads additional data in the background without blocking.

Your VS Code extension UI freezes during heavy data initialization because readiness is not gated; applying background synchronization and deferring heavy work until after the initial UI is visible resolves the blocking.
