"""Helpers for running an async coroutine from sync code via a daemon thread.
``asyncio.run(coro())`` in the main thread blocks until the loop's cleanup
cycle finishes, which can add hundreds of milliseconds before the caller
receives the result. Running the loop in a daemon thread lets the caller
observe the result as soon as the coroutine completes while cleanup finishes
in the background.

"""Run an async coroutine in a daemon thread and expose its result.
The runner catches all exceptions from the coroutine and stores them in
``exception`` so ``event`` is always set — this prevents callers waiting
on ``event`` from hanging forever when the coroutine crashes.
Typical usage::
runner = AsyncThreadRunner(lambda: my_coro(arg))
runner.start()
if not runner.event.wait(timeout=5.0):
... # timed out
if runner.exception is not None:
raise runner.exception
result = runner.result
