Bug 313950 – [Cocoa] Crash in WeakPtr<PlatformSpeechSynthesizer>::get() under -[WebSpeechSynthesisWrapper availableVoicesDidChange]

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Accessibility

[David Kilzer (:ddkilzer)]

AVFoundation's `VoiceDatabaseClient.startCacheInvalidation()` now posts `AVSpeechSynthesisAvailableVoicesDidChangeNotification` from a background Swift concurrency cooperative thread rather than the main thread.  `-[WebSpeechSynthesisWrapper availableVoicesDidChange]` dereferences its `WeakPtr<PlatformSpeechSynthesizer>` directly in the notification handler, tripping the `WeakPtr` threading assertion (`ASSERT_WITH_SECURITY_IMPLICATION(canSafelyBeUsed())`) and crashing the UI process.

Stack trace:
```

```

The regression is an AVFoundation behavior change, not a WebKit commit regression.
