A Stealthii instance binds its lock, browser, and contexts to whichever
asyncio event loop is running the first time it is used. Using it again
from a different loop previously hung forever (the lock/semaphore/
Playwright transport are all bound to the dead first loop and never
wake the waiting coroutine). Detected in rsearch's test suite, where
pytest-asyncio's default per-test-function event loop broke the
module-level Stealthii singleton shared across tests.
Now raises StealthUnavailableError immediately with an actionable
message. README documents the constraint and the pytest-asyncio config
fix (asyncio_default_test_loop_scope = session).

An aiohttp/httpx-shaped async HTTP client backed by a single, persistent,
stealth-patched Chromium instance via Playwright. get/post/put/patch/
delete/head/download use context.request (real Chrome TLS/HTTP2
fingerprint, no tab needed); render()/screenshot()/page() escalate to
full JS-executing page rendering for targets that need a JS challenge
solved. Supports named sessions for cookie persistence/warm-up, and
`async with stealth as page` to claim a tab directly, task-safe for
concurrent use on one shared instance. Context/browser recycling bounds
cookie and on-disk cache growth in a long-lived process.
