Currently CoreIPC doesn't let you send sync messages from a non-main thread.

It should!

It appears that the logic to message to the main thread has made the synchronous keychain functions incompatible with synchronous XMLHttpRequest.

That makes sense, and is unfortunate.  Makes resolving this somewhat more important.

I see you fixed this already with a different runloop mode.  Great!

(It'd still be much better if CoreIPC supported this mode.)

We're not going to allow this.
