(google-genai subclasses these to suppress the loop handler message, so the leak can be silent there.) Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Leak severity depends on how many sessions are created; the warning itself is harmless. Other error fragments: - Unclosed connector Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/2d/4d/4a99fb425c5e0cad715eea7bd190aff46f38b959a0a2dadb993705d34b26/aiohttp-3.14.3-cp310-cp310-macosx_10_9_universal2.whl#aiohttp/client.py (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): ClientSession.__del__ warns 'Unclosed client session' and calls loop exception handler when not closed. - https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/2d/4d/4a99fb425c5e0cad715eea7bd190aff46f38b959a0a2dadb993705d34b26/aiohttp-3.14.3-cp310-cp310-macosx_10_9_universal2.whl#aiohttp/connector.py (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): Connector finalizer warns 'Unclosed connector' listing open connections. - https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/5d/a8/178dbb9d1d6cac721b01592e291146a024bae5ee3224e36569348921dd6c/google_genai-2.25.0-py3-none-any.whl#google/genai/_api_client.py (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): google-genai's AiohttpClientSession overrides __del__ and removes the loop exception handler call for 'Unclosed client session'.
