Report #102414

[bug\_fix] RuntimeError: There is no current event loop in thread 'MainThread' \(or 'no running event loop'\)

For a synchronous entry point, use \`asyncio.run\(main\_coro\(\)\)\`. Inside a worker thread that needs its own loop, create one explicitly: \`loop = asyncio.new\_event\_loop\(\); asyncio.set\_event\_loop\(loop\); loop.run\_until\_complete\(coro\(\)\); loop.close\(\)\`. Inside an async function, use \`asyncio.get\_running\_loop\(\)\` instead of \`get\_event\_loop\(\)\`.

Journey Context:
You write a CLI helper that calls an async API. In \`main\(\)\` \(a sync function\) you do \`loop = asyncio.get\_event\_loop\(\); loop.run\_until\_complete\(fetch\(\)\)\`. On Python 3.10\+ this raises RuntimeError because \`get\_event\_loop\(\)\` no longer auto-creates a loop outside an async context. On older code you might see it inside a thread-pool worker where no loop was ever set for that thread. The fix works because \`asyncio.run\(\)\` is the documented main entry point: it creates a fresh loop, runs the coroutine, and cleans up. In a thread you must create and set the loop explicitly because each thread has its own event-loop policy state, and Python refuses to guess which loop you want.
