Issue Description:

Prototypes.CollectionTransformers uses pthread and fork directly, making the test non-portable to Windows.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Replace direct pthread and fork usage in Prototypes.CollectionTransformers with portable alternatives like Swift's Thread or DispatchQueue. Ensure tests pass on Windows.
