[bug\_fix] AttributeError: module 'asyncio' has no attribute 'run'

Replace 'asyncio.run\(main\(\)\)' with the Python 3.6 compatible pattern: 'loop = asyncio.get\_event\_loop\(\); try: loop.run\_until\_complete\(main\(\)\); finally: loop.close\(\)'. The root cause is that 'asyncio.run\(\)' was introduced in Python 3.7 as a high-level entry point and does not exist in Python 3.6 or earlier.

Journey Context:
Developer writes a new async script on their local machine running Python 3.10. They use the clean, modern 'asyncio.run\(main\(\)\)' pattern at the bottom of the file. They commit the code to CI/CD which runs on an older Docker image with Python 3.6 \(e.g., legacy production environment\). The pipeline fails immediately with 'AttributeError: module 'asyncio' has no attribute 'run' on line 15'. Developer checks Python version in CI logs and sees 3.6. They realize 'asyncio.run' is not available in that version. They refactor the entry point to use the older, more verbose event loop management pattern, which works in both 3.6 and modern versions, or upgrade the CI environment to Python 3.7\+.
