Q: What is SharedArrayBuffer and Atomics? How do they enable true shared memory between the main thread and workers? What security headers are required to use them?

`SharedArrayBuffer` is a transferable object that remains accessible after transfer, enabling true shared memory. `Atomics` methods (`add`, `sub`, `compareExchange`, `wait`, `notify`) allow safe concurrent access. Due to Spectre vulnerabilities, these features require explicit COOP/COEP headers.

SharedArrayBuffer, Atomics, SecurityHeaders

`SharedArrayBuffer` allows multiple threads to access the same memory; `Atomics` provides atomic operations to prevent race conditions. Required headers: `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin` and `Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy: require-corp`.
