+"""Regression test for the poll-task shutdown race condition.
+
+When the activity or nexus worker's ``_fail_worker_exception_queue`` fires
+while a poll is in flight, the old code did:
+
+    poll_task.cancel()
+    await exception_task   # <-- re-raised immediately, no yield to the loop
+
+The Rust bridge future backing ``poll_task`` may have completed *just before*
+``poll_task.cancel()`` was called, meaning it scheduled a
+``loop.call_soon_threadsafe(set_result, ...)`` callback that is now sitting in
+the event loop's ``_ready`` queue.  Because ``await exception_task`` raises
+without ever yielding back to the loop, the queue is never flushed.  Later,
+when ``asyncio.run()`` tears down the loop (and ``_cancel_all_tasks`` finds no
+remaining tasks to wait on), ``loop.close()`` fires before the callback runs,
+producing ``RuntimeError("Event loop is closed")``.
+
+The fix adds ``await asyncio.wait([poll_task])`` between ``poll_task.cancel()``
+and ``await exception_task``, which yields to the event loop and lets any
+pending Rust-side callbacks be processed while the loop is still open.
+
+Test scope
+----------
+These tests operate in two modes:
+
+1. **Source-inspection tests** (``test_old_loop_lacks_drain_fix``,
+   ``test_fixed_activity_worker_poll_exits_cleanly``,
+   ``test_fixed_nexus_worker_poll_exits_cleanly``): verify the presence /
+   absence of the fix line in source files without importing or running the
+   compiled Rust bridge.  These tests prove the fix was applied and that the
+   old loop did NOT have it.
+
+2. **Pure-Python behavioural smoke-test** (``test_no_closed_loop_error_with_fix``):
+   exercises the fixed loop using a pure-Python mock future (no Rust bridge
+   required).  This confirms the fix does not break clean shutdown.  Full
+   end-to-end behavioural regression (proving the old code raises and the new
+   code does not) requires the compiled temporal_sdk_bridge.so and will be
+   demonstrated by upstream CI on the open PR.
