Code Review
This pull request correctly addresses a potential deadlock issue by switching from NSLock to NSRecursiveLock. This change properly handles re-entrant locking scenarios that can occur with @Published properties. The addition of comprehensive thread safety tests is a great step towards ensuring the stability of the cache. However, I've identified a few areas for improvement in the new tests: one test has a logical flaw that prevents it from testing what its name implies, there is significant code duplication across the new tests that affects maintainability, and a comment in one test misrepresents the cause of the deadlock. My detailed comments provide suggestions for addressing these points.
…ity with Windows. Added type annotations for ComposableCache and AnyCacheable instances, and wrapped tests in conditional compilation to exclude them on Windows.
…stantiation. This change enhances test clarity and performance by reusing the cache instance across multiple operations.
…oving test clarity. Updated comments to reflect changes in locking mechanisms and added new test scenarios to validate cache behavior under high contention and mixed operations.

Code Review
This pull request correctly addresses a potential deadlock issue by switching from NSLock to NSRecursiveLock, which is the right solution for re-entrant locking scenarios. The addition of an extensive suite of thread safety tests is a great improvement to ensure the cache's robustness. My review includes a high-severity comment on a bug in one of the new tests where it's not validating the intended scenario, and a medium-severity comment on significant code duplication in the new tests, with a suggestion for refactoring to improve maintainability.

This test has a logic issue. The keys being generated and used inside DispatchQueue.concurrentPerform (key_0, key_1, key_2) do not match the keys that were initially set in the cache (string_key, int_key, array_key).
As a result, cache.resolve will always fail with a MissingRequiredKeysError because contains(key) returns false, and the code path that could potentially deadlock is never reached. The test passes, but it doesn't validate the fix for the deadlock scenario as intended.
To fix this, you should use the keys that are actually in the cache.

There is a large amount of duplicated code across the new thread safety tests. Each test repeats the setup for XCTestExpectation, DispatchQueue.concurrentPerform, and wait(for:). This makes the test suite harder to read and maintain.
Consider refactoring this boilerplate into a shared helper function. This would make the individual tests more concise and focused on their specific logic.
Here's an example of what a helper function could look like:
private func runConcurrentTest(
description: String,
iterations: Int,
timeout: TimeInterval,
testBody: @escaping (Int) -> Void
) {
let expectation = XCTestExpectation(description: description)
expectation.expectedFulfillmentCount = iterations
DispatchQueue.concurrentPerform(iterations: iterations) { i in
testBody(i)
expectation.fulfill()
}
wait(for: [expectation], timeout: timeout)
}Using this helper, this test could be simplified significantly.
