async_retry_with_exponential_backoff, used by every core async LLM path, blocked the entire loop during a rate-limit retry, freezing concurrent agents, run_batch_tasks and any co-hosted server for the full exponentially growing delay. 0.67.2 switches to await asyncio.sleep(...) and ships a regression test that runs a heartbeat across real backoffs to prove the loop stays live. That test design is the part I'd copy: proving liveness needs something else running, not an assertion on the function under test. (GitHub)
