6139dacef9 fix(langgraph): cleanup orphaned waiter task in AsyncPregelLoop (#6167)
### Summary

This PR fixes an issue where `AsyncPregelLoop` could leave behind an
orphaned `stream.wait()` task, resulting in warnings like:

```
Task was destroyed but it is pending!
```

### Related Discussion
This PR is in response to:
[langchain-ai/langgraph#6163](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph/discussions/6163)


### Problem

* In the async path, `get_waiter()` was creating a new `asyncio.Task`
via

  ```python
  aioloop.create_task(stream.wait())
  ```

  but never tracked or cleaned it up.
* On cancellation or shutdown, these tasks remained pending and produced
warnings.

### Solution

* Changed `get_waiter()` to:

  * Maintain a **single waiter task** (similar to the sync path).
  * Auto-clear the reference when the task finishes.
* Added `_cleanup_waiter()`:

* On exit, attempt to wake the waiter (`stream._count.release()` if
available).
* Otherwise, cancel and `await` the pending task to ensure proper
cleanup.
* Wrapped the `while loop.tick():` block in a `try/finally` to guarantee
`_cleanup_waiter()` runs on exit.
* Added missing `import contextlib`.

### Impact

* Prevents orphaned `stream.wait()` tasks.
* Removes noisy `"Task was destroyed but it is pending!"` warnings.
* Behavior of async streaming remains unchanged, only lifecycle
management improved.

### Test Plan

* Reproduced the issue by running async streaming with cancellation.
* Verified warnings no longer appear after the fix.
* Ran existing test suite (all passing).

### Notes

* Sync and Async implementations now follow the same principle: *only
one waiter at a time, always cleaned up on exit*.
* Backwards-compatible; no API changes.


### Repro & Verification

To confirm the issue and the fix I used the following minimal repro
snippet:

```python
# lg_repro.py
import asyncio
import os

# Enable asyncio debug logs to surface pending task warnings
os.environ.setdefault("PYTHONASYNCIODEBUG", "1")

from langgraph.graph import START, END, StateGraph

State = dict

# Slow async node: processes once, then sleeps to keep the waiter alive
async def slow_node(state: State) -> State:
    await asyncio.sleep(0.2)  # simulate work
    state["count"] = state.get("count", 0) + 1
    await asyncio.sleep(1.0)  # keep stream.wait() waiter active
    return state

# Build simple graph: START -> slow_node -> END
builder = StateGraph(State)
builder.add_node("slow", slow_node)
builder.add_edge(START, "slow")
builder.add_edge("slow", END)
graph = builder.compile()

async def run_and_cancel():
    # astream with messages mode triggers internal stream.wait() waiter
    async def consumer():
        async for _ in graph.astream({"msg": "hi"}, stream_mode="messages"):
            await asyncio.sleep(0.05)

    t = asyncio.create_task(consumer(), name="astream-consumer")

    # Allow the stream to start, then cancel the consumer
    await asyncio.sleep(0.1)
    t.cancel()
    try:
        await t
    except asyncio.CancelledError:
        pass

    # Let loop settle to show pending waiter task if not cleaned
    await asyncio.sleep(0.05)

def main():
    loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
    asyncio.set_event_loop(loop)
    loop.set_debug(True)
    try:
        loop.run_until_complete(run_and_cancel())
    finally:
        # If the internal waiter is not cleaned, closing the loop will warn
        loop.close()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
````

**How to run**

```powershell
# Before (main branch)
git checkout main
pip install -e libs/langgraph
$env:PYTHONASYNCIODEBUG=1; python lg_repro.py

# After (patched branch)
git checkout async-waiter-cleanup
pip install -e libs/langgraph
$env:PYTHONASYNCIODEBUG=1; python lg_repro.py
```

**Observed results**

* **main branch (before fix):**
  Shows warnings like:

  ```
  Task was destroyed but it is pending!
  ... coro=<AsyncQueue.wait() ...>
  created at langgraph/pregel/main.py:2927
  ```
* **patched branch (after fix):**
No warnings. The single waiter is properly cleaned up on exit via
`_cleanup_waiter()` (release semaphore if available, then cancel/await).

---

This confirms that the patch removes the orphaned `stream.wait()` task
and prevents
`"Task was destroyed but it is pending!"` warnings during
cancellation/shutdown.
