Starting a transition posted its own message to the UI thread, so a commit touching every view on screen posted one message per view. Commands are now queued and drained by a single asynchronous message per burst.

The queue itself comes from the frame pump prototype in the closed #10170, where it was introduced alongside the player change. It is independent of the player, so it applies to the ObjectAnimator engine unchanged.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • CSS transitions now process asynchronously and in order for more consistent behavior.
    • Rapid or overlapping updates are coordinated for smoother responsiveness.
    • Replaced or removed transitions safely cancel ongoing animations.
    • Interrupted animations resume more reliably after style changes.
    • Frequent updates produce more predictable animation results.
    • Transition timing remains consistent during complex changes.
    • Animated values are restored reliably after interruptions and rendering updates.
    • Pending transitions complete before rendering values are repaired.

Walkthrough

Platform transition commands now use synchronized batching and asynchronous main-looper dispatch. Start and removal commands are queued, processed in order, and retain invalidation, cancellation, retry, interruption, timing, and pre-draw repair behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1852b

Batching transition commands changes when animations and cleanup execute; in some cases this may briefly show the final value before the transition starts or allow a pending animation retry during teardown. The PR is not merge-ready until these ordering risks are addressed or explicitly accepted.

111-117: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Handle a zero-duration delayed transition.

If durationMs is 0.0 and the start timestamp is in the future, Line 289 creates HoldThenEase(1f, interpolator). At input == 1f, Line 117 returns 0f. The animator then finishes at startValue instead of toValue.

Return 1f at the terminal sample when delayFraction >= 1f. Add a regression test for a delayed zero-duration transition.

Proposed fix
         override fun getInterpolation(input: Float): Float =
-            if (input <= delayFraction) 0f else inner.getInterpolation((input - delayFraction) / (1f - delayFraction))
+            when {
+                delayFraction >= 1f -> if (input < 1f) 0f else 1f
+                input <= delayFraction -> 0f
+                else -> inner.getInterpolation((input - delayFraction) / (1f - delayFraction))
+            }

Gate command processing when invalidate() starts.

Set an invalidation flag under commandLock before posting cleanup. Discard pending commands, and make enqueue() and flushCommands() reject commands after invalidation. Check the flag before each beginStart() call so an in-flight batch cannot create animators after teardown begins.

205-208: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Drain queued transitions after Fabric mount dispatch.

If Command.Start is queued in the frame whose Fabric mount dispatch writes the target, the first transition has no pre-draw listener because reconciler.track(view) runs only after start() creates the animator. The asynchronous Message cannot run during the active Choreographer.doFrame(). The target can draw for one frame before flushCommands() writes startValue.

Call flushCommands() from the mount phase or register an independent pre-draw drain.
