## Title

    [Agno] "`run` method is not supported with an async database. Please use `arun` method instead." (AsyncPostgresDb / AsyncSqliteDb)

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Async database adapters are only usable from the async agent API; sync counterparts refuse them.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Other error fragments:
    - Cannot use sync get_session() with an async database. Use aget_session() instead.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
