Graceful shutdown of multi-agent tasks, specifically handling asynchronous generators.

Stability and reliability of multi-agent orchestration. The system aims for "Token-Efficient AI Agent with same budget, higher intelligence density," which implies robust execution of complex workflows.

This `RuntimeError` during multi-agent task completion indicates a fundamental flaw in OpenSquilla's asynchronous resource management. The redundant `aclose()` call on already-running generators points to an unhandled state transition or race condition during agent shutdown. While the first agent...
