Instructions

Kotlin Coroutines on Android

Use viewModelScope in ViewModels, lifecycleScope in Activities/Fragments.
Never use GlobalScope.
Switch dispatchers with withContext(Dispatchers.IO) for IO; keep UI on Main.
Expose data with StateFlow / SharedFlow, not LiveData, in new code.
Collect flows with repeatOnLifecycle(Lifecycle.State.STARTED).
