Thanks, I understand the change you recommened, but it doesn't seem to change anything. I have two different issues. I beleive I solved the first one.
  1. The Projects pane should be expanded on startup BEFORE it loads so the user seees the wait indicator. This bit of code in the MainWindow simulates storing and resetting it from settings later on. if there was an ExpandedExpanded (past-tense) then I could call Load() from there.
Main Window.cs
NavigationPaneInfos = new List<NavigationPaneModel>
{
    new NavigationPaneModel
    {
        Header = "Projects", 
        NavigationItemType = NavigationItemType.Project, 
        DataSource = Functional.Apply(Repository.GetNavigationItems, NavigationItemType.Project),
        IsExpanded = true   // <====== 1. This should force the Projects pane to expand on startup, and that should trigger Load() after the wait indicator is visible
    },

    new NavigationPaneModel
    {
        Header = "Inventory", 
        NavigationItemType = NavigationItemType.Inventory,
        DataSource = Functional.Apply(Repository.GetNavigationItems, NavigationItemType.Inventory),
    },

    new NavigationPaneModel
    {
        Header = "Companies" , 
        NavigationItemType = NavigationItemType.Company,
        DataSource = Functional.Apply(Repository.GetNavigationItems, NavigationItemType.Company),
    },

    new NavigationPaneModel
    {
        Header = "Employees", 
        NavigationItemType = NavigationItemType.Employee,
        DataSource = Functional.Apply(Repository.GetNavigationItems, NavigationItemType.Employee),
    }
};
so, that caused this
private static object CoerceIsPaneExpanded(DependencyObject d, object baseValue)
{
    var control = (NavigationPane)d;
    var newVal = control._isInitialized ? baseValue : (object)false;
    return newVal; //<======= THIS IS NEVER TRUE
}
and
private void NavigationPane_Initialized(object? sender, EventArgs e)
{
    _isInitialized = true;
    CoerceValue(IsPaneExpandedProperty);

    if (_isPaneExpanded) //<====== 2. THIS IS NEVER TRUE
    {
        _ = Load();
    }
}
so, I added this, which correctly sets _isPaneExpanded based off the value set in the main window
private static async void OnNavigationPaneModelChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
    var control = (NavigationPane)d;
    var model = e.NewValue as NavigationPaneModel;
    if (model != null)
    {
        control._isPaneExpanded = model.IsExpanded;
    }
}

This is where the UI is freezing up
private async Task Load()
{
    if (NavigationPaneModel != null && NavigationPaneModel.DataSource != null)
    {
        // 2. This calls the repo and returns data, but it's not async, which is 
        // causing the UI to frees
        var dataSource = NavigationPaneModel.DataSource(); 

        List<NavigationEntity>? data = null;

        if (dataSource != null)
        {
            data = await Task.Run(() => dataSource);
        }

        if (data != null)
        {
            Items = new ObservableCollection<NavigationEntity>(data);
        }
    }
}
so I tried this but....
private async Task Load()
{
    if (NavigationPaneModel != null && NavigationPaneModel.DataSource != null)
    {
        List<NavigationEntity>? data = null;

        await Task.Run(() => 
        {
            // This throws with
            //
            //  "The calling thread cannot access this object because a different thread owns it.'"
            //
            // So I need to figure out how to call the delegate async
            data = NavigationPaneModel.DataSource();
        });

        if (data != null)
        {
            Items = new ObservableCollection<NavigationEntity>(data);
        }
    }
}
So, it seems like all that's left is to get the backend call to fire async. The delegate was set in the UI using
NavigationPaneModel.DataSource = Functional.Apply(Repository.GetNavigationItems, NavigationItemType.Project)
How can I invoke the delegate async from Load()?

I checked my code into the repo.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.
