Recommended action: Make the delegating tool async def and await inner_agent.run(...); the parent can still be started with run_sync() from ordinary sync code. Push only blocking work into asyncio.to_thread().
Option: Convert the delegating tool to async and await the inner agent [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Multi-agent delegation in Pydantic AI
Steps:
1. Change `def delegate(ctx, ...)` to `async def delegate(ctx, ...)`
2. Replace inner_agent.run_sync(...) with await inner_agent.run(..., usage=ctx.usage)
3. Wrap any blocking I/O in await asyncio.to_thread(...)
Expected: Nested run executes without UserError or deadlock
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
