The producer–consumer pattern is the standard introduction to shared-state concurrency:

  • One or more producers enqueue work into a bounded buffer.
  • One or more consumers dequeue and process items.
  • Synchronization (wait/notify or java.util.concurrent) prevents races and deadlocks.

This small codebase keeps the focus on correctness: buffer bounds, spurious wakeups, and graceful shutdown — the details that show up in every real queue-backed system from job runners to message brokers.
