Concurrency and Cross-Platform Compatibility

Our Python package uses from multiprocessing import freeze_support to ensure cross-platform compatibility when using concurrency. This line is required in entry-point blocks on:

• Windows, which always uses the spawn start method

• macOS with Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) when using Python installed via Homebrew, which also defaults to spawn

While it's a no-op on most Linux systems (which use fork by default), including freeze_support() ensures safe and consistent behavior across all platforms, especially when running our scripts and pip package that use multiprocessing or multi-threaded APIs.
