� CRITICAL POWERSHELL THREADING FIX:
✅ ROOT CAUSE IDENTIFIED:
• ProcessQueuedUpdates() was called from background threads (Task.Run)
• PowerShell cmdlets can only call Write-Progress/Write-Verbose from main thread
• Error: 'WriteObject and WriteError methods cannot be called from outside...'
• Background thread progress updates caused cmdlet failures
� SOLUTION IMPLEMENTED:
• Removed ProcessQueuedUpdates() calls from background threads
• Added periodic progress processing from main thread
• Wait with 1-second intervals to process queued updates
• Maintains real-time progress while respecting PowerShell threading
⚡ TECHNICAL APPROACH:
• Background threads queue progress updates (thread-safe)
• Main thread processes updates every 1 second during Task.WaitAll
• Final processing after all tasks complete
• Preserves chunk status tracking without threading violations
✅ PRESERVED FEATURES:
• Chunk status tracking (Queued, Transferring, Completed, Failed)
• Enhanced PartInfo with timing and error details
• Chunk generation logging
• Real-time progress updates (every 1 second)
� RESULT:
• Multipart uploads work reliably again
• Progress updates every second from main thread
• No PowerShell threading violations
• Maintains all enhanced features safely
Critical fix for PowerShell cmdlet threading compliance!
