## Title

    [Cloudflare Workers] Error 1101 'The script will never generate a response' from unresolved promises or unclosed WebSockets

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): The runtime detects the event loop is empty without a Response and throws rather than hanging.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cloudflare/cloudflare-docs/production/src/content/docs/workers/observability/errors.mdx (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): 1101 with 'The script will never generate a response' occurs when no events remain but no Response was returned; causes: unresolved promises, WebSocket server side not closed.
    
    Search phrasings: cloudflare worker 1101 script will never generate a response; worker hangs promise never resolves error 1101; durable object websocket never generate a response
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
