does agentsession have *session.aclose() ?*

Thanks for reaching out, Palwisha. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.


Yes — AgentSession provides an awaitable `aclose()` method.

• Use it as: `await session.aclose()`
• `aclose()` performs an immediate, awaitable shutdown and waits for queued operations to finish before closing.
• This differs from `shutdown(drain=True)`, which allows graceful draining of pending speech but is non-blocking.
