Cause (Documented platform behavior): Context operations are only valid on the handler's own execution path, not inside side-effect closures or detached tasks.

Other error fragments:
- This might indicate that a RestatePromise is being awaited on an asynchronous task, outside the handler, or you're awaiting a RestatePromise inside a ctx.run.

Proposed fix: [Restate TS SDK] "DANGER! The invocation is closed, but some related operation is still running." (awaiting RestatePromise inside ctx.run or after handler returns)
Recommended action: Do not call ctx.* inside ctx.run; await all Restate promises before returning from the handler.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
