Research direction

Start at edx_proctoring/backends/mock.py lines 49-50 and trace how ProctoringBackendProvider is used in openedx-platform. Determine the intended replacement for the threading usage and the resulting provider behavior; the work is complete when the investigated threading use has been replaced and the backend behavior remains correct.
