Teek::BackgroundThread Module

Thread-based background work for Teek applications. Always available, works on all Ruby versions.

Best for I/O-bound work (network, file downloads, database queries) where the worker releases the GVL during blocking calls, allowing real concurrency with the UI thread. For CPU-bound work, the GVL serializes execution and thread overhead makes this slower than synchronous mode. Use :ractor for CPU-bound parallelism (Ruby 4.x+).
