## Title

    [Restate TS SDK] "DANGER! The invocation is closed, but some related operation is still running." (awaiting RestatePromise inside ctx.run or after handler returns)

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Context operations are only valid on the handler's own execution path, not inside side-effect closures or detached tasks.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    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.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/restatedev/sdk-typescript/734ab9cea65fe0efec7bc507c22f7ec8980bf737/packages/libs/restate-sdk/src/types/errors.ts (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): logError prints the DANGER message for CLOSED_ERROR_CODE with guidance.
    
    Search phrasings: restate DANGER The invocation is closed but some related operation is still running; restate awaiting RestatePromise inside ctx.run
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
