Summary

This PR optimizes ObjectLifecycleService by removing unnecessary async keywords and using ValueListBuilder for better performance in RegisterArgumentsAsync.

Suggestions

Consider Task.WhenAll behavior on older .NET versions

In RegisterArgumentsAsync, the fallback for pre-NET9 targets allocates a new array via .ToArray(), which reduces the performance benefit of using ValueListBuilder. However, this is only for older .NET targets where the span-based Task.WhenAll overload does not exist, so it is a reasonable trade-off. The NET9+ path gets the full benefit.

Performance validation

The PR description shows allocation improvements in a screenshot. Since this touches a hot path (object registration), the performance improvement is welcome and aligns with TUnits Performance First principle.

Verdict

✅ APPROVE - No critical issues. The changes are clean, correct, and improve performance:

• Methods that were unnecessarily async are now synchronous (eliminating state machine overhead)
• ValueListBuilder reduces allocations on the happy path
• ValueTask.AsTask() is correctly used for the cleanup method
• Unused using directive correctly removed
• All changes preserve existing behavior while improving efficiency
