fix(auxiliary_client): skip async close() during cache eviction

[liuhao1024]

What does this PR do?

Fixes unawaited coroutine warnings during auxiliary-client cache eviction. When _store_cached_client() evicts an old client whose close() method is a coroutine (e.g., AsyncOpenAI), calling it synchronously creates a RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'AsyncAPIClient.close' was never awaited. The fix adds an inspect.iscoroutinefunction guard matching the existing pattern in shutdown_cached_clients().

Type of Change

• 🐛 Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)

Changes Made

• agent/auxiliary_client.py: Added inspect.iscoroutinefunction guard in _store_cached_client() and the manual cache-eviction path (lines ~4372 and ~2612) to skip synchronous close() on async clients — _force_close_async_httpx() already handles transport teardown
• tests/agent/test_auxiliary_cache_async_close.py: 2 tests verifying async close is skipped (no unawaited coroutine warning) and sync close is still called

How to Test

1. Run pytest tests/agent/test_auxiliary_cache_async_close.py -v — both tests should pass
2. The async-close test seeds _client_cache with an AsyncCloseClient, replaces it via _store_cached_client(), and asserts zero RuntimeWarning about unawaited coroutines
3. The sync-close test verifies that synchronous close() methods are still called during eviction

Thanks for the focused fix. The premise remains live on current main: agent/auxiliary_client.py:3221-3223 and agent/auxiliary_client.py:5563-5565 still synchronously invoke cached clients' close() methods, while shutdown_cached_clients() already skips declared coroutine close methods at agent/auxiliary_client.py:5688-5690.

Problems

• The new if close_fn and ... condition drops the existing callable(close_fn) guard. Retain it so a truthy non-callable close attribute is not invoked.
• The guard only covers methods declared with async def; a callable that returns a coroutine would still leak that coroutine from this synchronous path. Issue #45328 identifies that broader cleanup concern. The added tests cover _store_cached_client() but not the separate live _evict_cached_clients() path at agent/auxiliary_client.py:3208-3226.

Suggested changes

• Centralize the cached-client close policy and use it from both eviction paths.
• Add a regression test for provider-wide eviction, alongside the replacement-path test.

[teknium1]

Please retain callable(close_fn) here. close_fn being truthy does not establish that it can be called; the previous guard preserved that distinction before applying the async-close exclusion.

[teknium1]

This declaration-level check still invokes a regular callable that returns a coroutine, then discards that coroutine. Consider routing both eviction sites through one helper that captures the result and closes a returned coroutine, as described in #45328.
