[bug\_fix] RuntimeError: no running event loop \(or \`This event loop is already running\`\) when calling async code

Use \`asyncio.run\(main\(\)\)\` as the single top-level entry point. Inside an already-running loop \(e.g., Jupyter\), use \`await\` directly or call \`nest\_asyncio.apply\(\)\` once. Inside a coroutine, use \`asyncio.get\_running\_loop\(\)\` instead of \`asyncio.get\_event\_loop\(\)\`.

Journey Context:
You write \`asyncio.run\(fetch\(\)\)\` inside a Jupyter notebook cell and get \`RuntimeError: This event loop is already running\` because IPython already runs a loop. In a script, you call \`asyncio.get\_event\_loop\(\).run\_until\_complete\(fetch\(\)\)\` after another \`asyncio.run\(\)\` and get \`no running event loop\`. You learn that \`asyncio.run\(\)\` creates, runs, and closes a loop and should be the sole entry point. In Jupyter, \`nest\_asyncio\` patches the loop to allow nested runs, letting coroutines execute inside the existing event loop.
